I think the guy in this song is indecisive. He wants to be in love, he wants to have a meaningful relationship, but just doesn't seem able to settle- so he has multiple ones, trying to decide. The intentions are well- there wouldn't be a long list of girls who love the shit out of him if he wasn't a cool, decent guy. But how he goes about everything is wrong. It's not fair to everyone- playing with their emotions and pretty much teasing them. He's here and there- so no one expects him to be a certain way or do anything, but the hope still resides in 'hopefully he'll choose me one day' "we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you". The singer is settling on that, and just being on the long list- pretty much, she's in limbo with a guy who's in limbo. Which sucks.
