Trust, it's gon hit him, and hit him hard. He prolly has that mindset where he's not mature enough or clear minded enough for a relationship, not completely against it, but it would have to find him instead of him seeking it. What he doesn't realize yet is it just did.
I doubt it, prior to me he's had at least 4 serious girlfriends, one I knew he lived with. He said two he broke off with because it wasn't "perfect". He was raised in a church where people didn't date really. Like, you went off to college, came back and you courted for a few months and then you got married. From the outside looking in, and especially as a child, I'm sure that kinda alters your ideas and expectations of how relationships are supposed to go. You would think it's perfect and instant, and if you don't feel it instantly then something is wrong.
His idea of a long term relationship is 8+ months. If it was gonna hit him it would've hit him with one of those past GFs I'm assuming. When i was getting dressed ready to walk out the door he made zero attempts to try and stop me. He just stood/sat there. Weekends are going to go back to being boring and lonely, rah rah rah and blah blah blah.
