Are we dating? Or is this a fling?

I met this unbelievable guy a month and half ago. We talked for a bit at the bar and he left the next day to Asia for work. We texted each other for a couple of weeks, then one day I received my flight confirmation and flew to Beijing the next day for our first date. We then spent six amazing days in Bali together. After we got back, he left for Europe for work right away for 3 weeks. Everyone been telling me that this is probably just a fling. So he got back 3 days ago. I met him for dinner the first night alone. The next night, he invited me to a dinner party at his close friends' house. At dinner, we joked about meeting my mom and such and his friends told me that he is not the type of guy who pick up girls at all. Last night, he had an office party with his staff and client and invited me. All of his staff knows me because I met up with him there for lunch before he left for Europe and they were really sweet to me. So, do you think we are dating dating? My parents live in China, so to avoid questions, I told my mom that he is just a friend and he's married. At dinner, he told me that I should just come clean to my mom and he'd love to meet her. I'm not sure if he's kidding about the last part. He told me in front of his friends that all mothers love him. I'm smitten and I don't want to fall for him if this is just fling.... Help!!! He travels all the time, probably only in town for a week or so every month right now.

Looks like you are in the very early stages of what could be an important relationship! Don't over analyse it just yet........enjoy it and see where it leads!
no, you're his convenience store. Always there when he needs you
You guys are dating it would only be a fling if it was like a summer fling or if it was just for sex and thats it but know you guys are dating siince u guys seem to see lot of each other.
Hmm.... he's inviting you to social events as a date. Dating, much? He wants to meet your mom. Serious, much? yeah okay. This a great question btw.
a fling he is palying u, and he is traveling a lot not good for a relationship
Are you prepared to be in a basically long distance relationship? I personally dont introduce people to my family until I'm certain I want a serious relationship. You could be just a fling and he flaunts you around everyone whether its because of your looks or personality. Take your time.
you need to ask him what is going on. my guess is, dating. but never assume.
sounds like your dating
I think given the fact that he travels often that he is interested enough to want to date you. Whether you've spent enough time together to take it too seriously i don't know. Give it a couple of more weeks and if you don't know for sure watch your back. I've always been pretty sure after 2 months how serious i'm willing to be.
Lisa!!! Lisa !!! Lisa!!! you are DATING! he's as smitten with you as you are with him......but play cool, guys love that! Good Luck! you go girl!!
