Ok, I have been dating this guy for about 2 1/2 months and we aren't serious yet. He says he is not ready to be serious right now, that he really likes me and that he loves hanging out with me, but he isn't ready to be serious. My friend says it is just pride, because all his friends know he doesn't want to be serious with anyone, so if he gets serious with me then his friends might think he is a softy or something. What do you think?
