OK, I'll de-lurk since you asked me a direct question.
My suggestion to go out on a few dates was based only on your initial post here. You came across as mildly odd, but since you had some questions about the guy, I figured going on a few casual dates would be a way for you to get a better "feel" for him, since that's what dating is for.
This afternoon, after reading all your other posts, I've gone from considering you "mildly odd" to "unbalanced." I think
you need help...I don't think this guy needs help. And, I don't think people who are unbalanced and not in a good place in their lives ought to be considering emotional entanglements. This is not meant as an insult - I'm currently (in my opinion and in early sobriety) "unbalanced" and will not date until I feel more centered.
Hence the change.
