Am I getting screwed?

1

So, I started dating a 23 year old guy about three weeks ago. He was my first kiss, my first date, and I lost my virginity to him about a week into us dating. We spent hours on end together either texting or watching movies and cuddling and we established what our relationship status was, which was that we were dating. He has made it clear that he doesn’t want a relationship right now simply because he’s trying to focus on his career and finishing school. He is also leaving in a little less than a month to go on an internship for a couple of months out of state, but he is coming back to town afterward. We ended up having sex, and have done so a few times throughout this few weeks we’ve been dating. He asked me if I was going to come and visit him while he’s gone on his internship, which makes me feel like he does care about me and will miss me, not that he just wanted to have sex with me and be done like I originally had thought. I feel more for him than he does for me, it’s quite obvious. I want a relationship. I guess my actual question is – should I continue to date him in the hopes of a relationship coming together? Or should I let it go and date other guys? I don’t want to waste my time or become too attached to someone who doesn’t want anything more than a girl to hang out with and occasionally have sex with.

Wow...first love. That's a tough one. Of course you have feelings for him and they might run deeper than his feelings for you simply because of first love. Take it step by step. If he calls you after he leaves and asks you to visit, consider it then. If he cares for you, a relationshp will develop whether or not he wants to focus on his career. First love is a right of passage, but you don't have to be careless with your heart.

Mark it as an experience and find another muse. He might come back interested or he might not. But, if you sit around waiting you'll either be frustrated and clingy or left feeling dumb.
