I'm not sure how much you are looking out for her feelings in all of this.
You've said that you are sure she would want you to stay in town but might go away anyway because it will keep things, "loose." It won't keep things loose, it will keep you in control, calling all the shots, making sure she's in the background to fill YOUR needs but you aren't there when she wants you.
And then you talk about how you could bring her to a sporting game but it never occurred to you.
Look, if you don't want anything serious with anyone that's fine, but it's not okay to use someone just to keep you from being lonely either.
Even though you may have told her you don't want anything serious, if you know that she does and you can tell that she is holding on hoping for something more, than I think you should end it with her. It's not fair to her.
and if you're not ready for a relationship then why are you dating. Maybe you should concentrate on finding friends. We don't more heart breaks in this world.
I don't know if the 29yo has any children of her own, but if she doesn't and she would like to have some and you are done, then she is just wasting her time with you and you are using her to get your needs met.
