    Hi everyone

    So I have been seeing this guy for about 5 weeks. Seeing is a stretch the last few weeks because he is a single dad who has his kids more than half the time then add in work, taking care of our homes, I had an out of town wedding we just haven’t actually seen each other in a few weeks. Now that being said we do text throughout the day and talk almost every night. I guess I am concerned because this is the first guy in the 3 yes since my divorce that feels like it could go somewhere. We also met online so it’s not like I can check his references lol

    We go out, we have eaten in but always hook up which I thihk is part of a new relationship but can’t spend the night because we both have dogs.

    Any insight would be a huge help! ????

    How long did it take for you guys to have sex and I don’t know for sure if that automatically means he was just trying to hook up with you, because you had sex with him. Were you just using him as a hook up? Look at what he’s doing, do you guys talk on the phone ever since you’re both so busy? Do you guys go out at all besides doing at home dates? What are you doing on these at home dates besides having sex?

    We had sex on the second date, we have really good chemistry. We go out to dinner and drinks, cooked dinner together and watched tv. Yes we talk on the phone almost every night.

    I am not sure if I am “qualified” to give insights as I did not have any success dating divorced single dad…

    But if I can speak from my failure – lower your expectation to the rock bottom, forget any timelines for any kind of commitment, take one day at a time…

    Divorced guys (especially those just coming out of a divorce) tend to have what I call “low interest symdrome”… If he has kids, or/and a demanding job, it is 10X worse….Other than casual/random hookups, they are not motivated at all…

    Hi, I’m new here but read often. I need advice! I started dating this guy I knew from high school. We weren’t friends then but I remember him. He was very shy didn’t talk to any one got bullied etc. Back in pair I saw him on an online dating site. So I reached out and he responded. He grew up to be very cute, successful and everything I’ve been looking for. So he asked me out and we dated for about two weeks. I’m not gonna lie I fell hard. I even slept with him! Then outof the blue he txt sand says he just isn’t feeling that spark and could we be friends. He is a very compassionate and caring person. Btw he was in a year long relationship and it had been 3 months since they broke up. He really loved her and was very hurt. I agreed to be just friends and we text everyday. He found out his ex was seeing some one new and was devistated. I consoled him and asked had he been talking to her all this time and he said “sometimes we would txt”. I didn’t know this in the beginning! But I continued to be friends and we still were texting everyday and we hung out at his house once and of course we had sex. But he a few days later he stated again he didn’t feel that spark like he thought he should. So I was hurt again! My own fault I know. Then a couple of weeks ago he asked me if I wanted to come over and hang out. I said I would but that I don’t have casual sex no FWB. He said that’s not what he wanted either. He wanted to try us dating again. So I went. His words ” I don’t want us to see other people so I’m taking my online profile down” I did the same. Last weekend he made plans with me early in the week. This weekend he last night went to a bar with one of his guy friends and has made no plans with me. All week I’ve been the one to initiate contact. We only text never actually talk on the phone. He is a very quiet type person. So I always assumed that’s why we only text. I don’t like to talk on the phone so it’s fine. But my question is what is going on!!! HE wants to be exclusive and so do I but isn’t going to a bar the same as keeping your dating profile up. I mean your still putting yourself out there..right. I’m not upset about guy time but usually in the initial stages of dating you want to be together more than not. I feel like an option or a place saver not a priority! Should I feel this way or just be ok with giving him his space?
