    I’ve been dating a guy about two months, I know it hasn’t been long but we have quickly developed strong feeling for each other. We go through all the motions of dating (said we are exclusive, text/call each other all day-everyday, and hangout as much as possible) without the title. He has two fulltime jobs and a kid and has very little free time. He tells me he loves me and sees a future with me but is very busy right now and doesn’t have the time for a relationship (EVENTHOUGH WE GO THROUGH ALL THE MOTIONS OF DATING) He did tell me he was hurt VERY bad in his last relationship PLUS he is about to join the army- a decision he made before meeting me. Should I just be patient and the “title” will come around? I guess I just feel a little insecure right now because his friends are “players” and really bothers me. Am I just overthinking everything?

    I’m not sure what you mean by a “title”. As far as I know, the only titles people have are Mr. and Mrs. when they get married. If you’re dating someone, you’re either dating them or you’re not, and you are dating him, so you don’t need a title. You already know you are dating him.

    What I think you’re feeling is insecurity because he’s not promising you a future security. He’s being very clear with you that he’s enlisted in the army and may be deployed, and he’s introduced you to his friends, and they’re all players, which means there is a good chance he is, too. Trust your instincts! You don’t want to believe what they’re telling you right now — that you really like him, but that this is not a sure thing.

    Many women who write me on this forum try to fool themselves into thinking that that what is right in front of them MUST be wrong because they want it to be other than it is. It’s VERY important for you to see things as they are and act accordingly. 😉 Know what you want in a relationship, and if this person isn’t going to give that to you or be that compatible boyfriend or husband, then you shouldn’t invest time and energy with him. 😉 If he is going to give you what you want in a relationship, continue dating him…. 🙂
