I’ve been dating this guy for about 6 months now, and we’ve been active in the sack for the last 3 months. He never initiates anything – dates, sex (he blames his age @ 47), dinner with him and his daughter, etc., but always seems interested when I initiate it. He also never gives me compliments on anything really, nor does he ever tell me how much he enjoys spending time with me. But he has no problem with introducing me to his family, he pays for lunch every day at work, and has talked about going on vacation in the future all together with his daughter and my two kids. He also rarely expresses interest in my day, or how something went (like Thanksgiving), or my plans for the weekend unless I tell them to him. I’ve even tried to lead him into asking me by asking him first. It’s like a sack of mixed messages, and I’m not sure what to do. I’ve expressed to him explicitly before that I want him to initiate get togethers sometimes, and he still hasn’t. I know for a fact he isn’t seeing anyone else. Just the relationship thus far has felt very one way as far as action goes. I really want this relationship to work, but geez, what to do, what to do?
