    My bf went away for the weekend and we weren’t in contact as i respected his time with his friends. He told me when he’s coming back and so i called him to ask him to have dinner together tonight. He said it might be difficult because he will meet with his friend that haven’t seen for a while and to do it tomorrow. I told him yes we can do it tomorrow and agreed to speak the next day. I texted him “looking forward to catching up tomorrow enjoy your day x” and he replied “Love you babe!”. I feel comfortable calling him and catching up and he said that he loves receiving my calls. Am i doing anything wrong here? Should i keep it on this pace? We rarely text and i prefer to call him once per day sometimes morning sometimes evening and we talk for couple of minutes.

    How long have you been together ?
    I think I’d rather wait for him to ask when you’re free .
    Did you not make any plans for yourself ? Are you waiting on him ? Why are you so available?

    I do have actually i also went out with my friends for the evening. I am mostly free because i am more introverted and he has a bigger cycle of friends to meet. Well i was thinking to call him tomorrow and see what he is up too. If again he is busy, obviously i will not ask again.

    Well i told him to speak tomorrow again. I just asked him if he got plans for the night and told me he had to meet with his friend but suggested we do it tomorrow. I said yes let’s talk again tomorrow. Then we had this text exchange and left it there.

    He’s officially your bf, right? There’s no reason to play games, especially if you’ve been dating a while. The contacting and who initiates “rules” are to weed out guys with low interest or who are players playing games before you get attached to them. The rules don’t need to apply forever once the guy has proven to be serious enough about commitment. Are you happy with how things are and the amount you talk and see each other?

    Yes absolutely! We even discussed what commitment means to each person and he expressed his need to date exclusive. He’s been consistent so far and usually when i call him he calls back within seconds. We haven’t established a pattern but it seems lately i am calling him like one call per day. I did call today morning as we haven’t communicated these four days he was away. I texted him this because i really missed him and wasnt expecting his reply love you babe! I used to read the threads on this forum with guys losing interest or that the woman should not be on the driver’s seat so i started overanalyzing my interactions with him and sort of started internalizing the negative experiences of people here (which makes sense as people tend to ask for advice) so it made me start questioning my relationship which is new two months. And i connected the dots so i made a scenario in my head that he might already checked out but then he immediately replied to my message with this and it brighten up my day. Then i started reading more stories here and went back to overthinking it while it has worked so far just as good by me calling. Ofc, if we say we are going to speak tomorrow then he calls himself just i start an interaction but he never shown resentment or said anything about it.

    i agree with Maddie totally. but ensure you don’t do all the initiating, that’s all. or you will be setting up this pattern where all chats and all plans to meet will happen only if you initiate. 2 months is not very long. so ideally i would wait for him to call since i had called yesterday. just like its on you mind to meet, it shld be on his mind as well to meet.

    I called him. Apparently, he made his schedule and included our plan for dinner for the evening but was waiting to call me an hour before. This for me wouldn’t work as i need my time to get ready. So we just have a different understanding of time. Many times when we say we’ll do something together on X date he put it on his calendar in advance and doesn’t need to confirm it until it’s time to meet but this makes me rush whereas i prefer to confirm plans a day before or morning before meeting cause if we just say one time vaguely to go cinema, he will put time aside for it but waiting to update me on the same day. I realised it cause i called him to ask his plans for the night and he said “work and then having dinner together” whereas i never realized we actually agreed on a date tonight. He wants us to go a weekend away but hasn’t brought up dates yet.

    but that’s gud in a way isn’t it? if he tells you he will meet you on a certain day for dinner, than that means its confirmed. your problem is easily solved. just tell him you need a few hours headsup.

    You can go the other way on it, too. Instead of confirming every time, tell him you’ll need a few hours heads up if he ever needs to cancel. Then you can just assume if you’ve made plans together, they’re already confirmed.

    Yes indeed. I call him in the morning and he says let’s talk later to confirm but he calls me an hr before meeting or rings the bell in my apartment so it leaves me no time to take shower properly and dress up and i always rush at the door. He is a bit more spontaneous so i don’t want to seem like nagging him about it. We have two years age difference but he’s only 25 and i guess being his first relationship maybe he isn’t used to check in with someone else. But i can bring it up as suggestion i like that part thank you :)

    At least this Friday i asked him to go clubbing if he’s free as my friends invited me and he said yes so I am hoping he won’t ring the bell at midnight hehe. Probably we will be talking again until then. Last night he confirmed he loves my calls and not to stop initiating them.
