How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/Attracting a man

Question
when do you know whether to pursue or let go of a man?
I had my eye on this guy about three months, when finally we hooked up. He was great and I couldn't quit smiling. He is just what I was needing to break the viscious cycles of the losers I have always hooked up with. Well, he had been seeing a girl and now they are going exclusive for a while to explore their feelings. Well, obviously, he did enjoy being with me and chose me over her on a couple of nights, till it all came out in the open.
He wasn't committed to anyone then, and like I said, I really could fall in love with this guy.
Do I give up? just because he is exploring his feelings with another?
Please help..

Answer
I'd say to go with your gut feelings.  If you don't think you should give up, then keep pursuing him - try to make good friends with him, but don't "give" him anything if he's not ready to make a commitment to you.  If he acts like he's expecting something from you or is aggressively trying to "take" something from you, then tell him that you save that for someone who's ready to make a commitment and you care about him too much to use him or let him use you.  If he gets nasty or insults you, forget him.  He might change his mind and decide he's ready for a commitment after a while, though, if he treats you respectfully.  Good luck!

Expertise

I've been answering questions online for over a decade & have received good ratings. I've also helped people in many other situations - in person and in other ways online. Looking for a lifelong, loving relationship? I`ve been with the same partner for 30+ years and it's not just a coincidence. I've worked at it and the first part was to find the right man for me. I hope I can help you do the same.

Experience

My own marriage has worked out great, though it has taken work, I've learned a lot and continue to learn. I realize, though, that everyone is different and so is each relationship, so I enjoy observing others. I've also read a lot about the subject and know many couples - some who have made poor partner decisions and others who've maintained a lifelong relationship of love.

Education/Credentials
I am educated as a teacher and primarily work with young people, many who are already attracted to the opposite sex at a young age, but their families often are poor role-models for having a life-long relationship.
