How well do you know this guy? I wouldn't go camping with him if I were you. Could be dangerous. Did you meet online?

You are saying one thing to him ("I don't want to things to get serious") and doing another (going camping with him.) Actions speak louder than words and YOU ARE LEADING HIM ON. Stop it. You're only going to hurt the poor guy. Let him go.

Agreed with sabrinaland. If you know he's hung up on you and just agreeing to your terms to get you to stick around, you are going to hurt him. Esp. since you live far away and he will likely be tempted to idealize your relationship in his mind when you're apart. Even though making the choice to take an emotional risk by going with the flow, it's still unfair to him. I mean, he's travelling at his own cost to see you - you shouldn't just let him do stuff like that if you don't care.

If you don't follow, go out and see 500 Days of Summer (I'm not a random troll - it's just extremely on-point here, and extremely visceral).

I would've done something more along the lines as touring or something, more public and casual. If you didn't want anything serious, camping is not the way to do. Camping = You and Him...probably alone in a tent, secluded probably...one thing leads to another and you're trying to convince him it shouldn't have happened.

Also agree with sabrinaland.

yep. I would change plans. Something less intimate.

agreed with above

Everyone above it dead on.

Honestly I think as long as he's super clear where you stand, it's his fault if he can't stay away.

I agree with Pop. If you have told him exactly what you want and he still insists on hanging around and hurting himself, it's his fault. You aren't his mom, it's up to him to get what he wants from life now.

Last two responses are the least responsible; the guy obviously is going by what she does, not by what she says, and he's still hoping for more, so she's GOING to hurt him.
If she's OK with that, well good for her.

First, watch out for your safety.
If I were you, I'd definitely keep it as public as possible (no going out in the woods somewhere). Not saying he's a murderer, but we never know these days what people (esp. strangers) are capable of doing.

Second, watch your action alongside your words.
I used to date a guy online and long distance. He's a sweet guy and in the end I felt no chemistry and decided to break it off. He insisted that we remained friends and I agreed although was hesitant (since I usually give complete 'no contact' time after a break up). Surely enough, although I have TOLD/SAID to him that I wasn't interested in him, he was in denial and got angry at me when I wasn't available during 'date' time (weekend nights). He still acted like he's a bf although he wasn't.
And as for me, keep talking to him, obviously sent the 'wrong' signal to him and he assumed that we're still 'together' although we weren't, just because I didn't cut contact and remained friendly with him (I wasn't affectionate, but I was friendly because I didn't see any reason to be rude).

My point is guys look at it from 'action' more so than words, as for gals, we tend to look at things from 'words.' I'm pretty sure when you really really 'break it off' with this guy, he will be telling his friends about how 'shocked' he is because he probably assumes you're as much into him as he is into you. Worse yet, he'd be accusing you to giving mixed signals later on.

Good luck though.

I don't understand, why go away with him when you clearly aren't into him? Don't think that you're doing him any favors by sticking around. Let him go so he'll find someone that's into him.

I agree with Sabrinaland. You are leading him on and he wants more. If you aren't wanting anything serious, stop. Tell him its over and let him know you enjoyed his company. If you keep up with what your'e doing then break up, he will be shattered. What if someone did that to YOU?

Luisa LMAO! You sound just like my best mate in high school. She always had to watch out for me, cos I was prone to making some mad decisions. An awesome friend, and a way with words. lol. I completely agree with you.

, if you don't want anything serious, stop acting like you do.

No matter what you say your actions tell him something different. You're sending him mixed signals.

Life's too short so stop wasting his time.You already know that this relationship is going nowhere .You need to let this one go it's way overdue.

Hmmmm....are you sure you don't like him more that you will admit? Sounds like you are afraid to vulnerable....or you are bored.
