I hear what you're saying, SC. Yep, he was being deceptive with his friends and the church. He wanted the sex and, at the same time, seems he was disappointed in himself for it. But, nothing indicates that he misled Jodi into thinking their relationship was serious. He was openly dating other girls (it's alleged she followed him on dates more than once) and she was dating other men (whom she always accidently told him about; claiming that made Travis surprisingly jealous). He was also talking about finding the right marriage partner in his blog. She pursued him using sex anyway.
I think that she became obsessed with him and refused to be rejected and was seething inside. It's clear to me that she was psycho long before she met Travis Alexander. I think she baited him with sex and he took the bait, hook line and sinker. She thought she could be passive aggressive and manipulate him (and snoop and confront and lie) just like she did with her previous boyfriends. Once he caught on, Travis wanted her gone, but I think he couldn't be too open about her stalking because he didn't want to reveal his secrets.
I don't think Jodi Arias loves. JMO. I think she loved the idea of being married to someone who was making money, an up and comer, and had a lot of friends. That's what she wanted. She chose to convert to Mormonism to pursue Travis; she'd tried lots of religions in the past too. But, Travis never told her that he loved her as more than a friend (it's not in any of their communications and she confirmed that on the stand). He never talked about marriage with her. She says they talked about names for kids, but that they were kids that they'd have with other partners who would then play together (I think that whole story is BS too, but jmo).
