Another Question

This week, i don't understand why Pip said: "Miss Havisham's intentions towards me, all a mere dream; Estella not designed for me;..."(324) when a couple chapters afterward he said: "Estella, dearest, dearest Estella, do not let Miss Havisham lead you into this fatal step...there may be one who loves you even as dearly, though who has not loved you for as long as I. Take him I can bear it better for you sake!" (363).
Why is he still willing to love Estella and go after even though she is obviously in love with someone else?
