  • Remember I don't know anything about either of you, so I may be wrong but it sounds like he's trying to find out how you feel about the whole relationship.
  • Yup, I think he's offering you the challenge of trying to capture him. :-)
  • it's called 'testing the water' - he likes you, quite a bit in fact but he is not completely how much you like him hence the parents statement. He has no way to guage how you feel but is not about to come out and just ask you directly. He thinks you like him as much but on the off chance that you don't, he adds the 'if you are around long enough' part for self preservation so if you laugh in his face, he won't feel a complete idiot. It's a leap of faith on his part because he knows that the way that you respond to such questions could leave him feeling disappointed - an acceptable risk and he's making an educated guess that you may smile and say something along the lines of "well, if I have to meet your parents, I will make you meet mine!" . He likes you, lots - enough to create a small sparkle of hope.
