He may be putting somewhat of an act on to see who is serious and who is not.

I had a manager do something like that to me; he kept bringing me in to different interviews and each time the time I spent with him got better. Still - I knew better.

He predicted in the very first interview that I would accept a counter offer from my then current employer and low and behold I did. Not because I Wanted to stay there but because he was a jerk and I didn't want to work for him.

To my knowledge he STILL hasn't found someone he felt could fill the position and it's been almost 2 years. The downside is that my current company does a lot of business with his company and I am not welcome there (He doesn't know I work for the new company).
