I have been dating a guy for about 2 months now. Although it has not been a long time, we have a great connection and get along really well and love hanging out with each other.
A few challenges and obstacles that I’m having trouble dealing with though and need April’s advice, and anyone else’s advice as well.
#1) He works very early mornings, think 4AM, 12 hour shifts doing hard labor. His job is demanding. However, during the work week, he rarely asks to hang out with me because I am not available until most evenings around 7 and he goes to bed around 9PM which doesn’t really give us much time. However, we do live in the same city and even seeing him for a short amount of time is better than nothing. I know if the shoe was on the other foot, I would want to spend more time with him than I was and I am far from clingy. On the rare occasion that I do sleep over, he never shows affection of kissing, cuddling, etc anything and just goes straight to sleep like I’m not even there. I know his job is demanding and he needs his sleep but why is 5 minutes of affection too much? He says he obviously wishes he could spend more time with me than he does but it’s not his choice… OPINIONS?
#2) I know this may seem foolish… but I have not gone a single day without texting him since I met him. And he always texts me first because I know how busy he is that he’ll text me when he gets a chance. Today, all day, he never tried to communicate with me in any form. I know he’s busy like previously stated, but COME ON, it takes 5 seconds to text the girl you’ve liked for the past 2 months. To me, that shows little effort or care. However, some guys don’t feel that’s it’s not a big deal at all. Granted, I didn’t text him either but I never have before either and I’ve always heard from him. Am I overreacting? How long should we go without talking before I start to question if he’s still into me or not?
OPINIONS WELCOMED!
