You seem to like him, otherwise you wouldn't have posted the question. So, why not date him ? However, don't fully invest your heart. Keep your options open as well. Date other people too and definitely don't rely on him as your one and only until he is willing to committ the same to you.
Given how the stock market has been responding lately, I figure some people may enjoy this one;
If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth about $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 left of the original $1000. With WorldCom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had purchased $1000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have $49.00 left. If you had purchased United Airlines, you would have nothing left.
But, if you had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is called the 401-Keg Plan.
Celebrate your new found freedom by focusing on whatever YOU enjoy (i.e. hobbies, sports, learning, etc..). You have more time for it now, no matter what it is. Also, let friends & old girlfriends know that you are now single and interviewing candidates. Meet some new people.

RE: WHY
Careful, he may be touching more than that.
