Emy
So I’ve been seeing this guy for a little over a month. He’s fantastic, we get along very well. He comes to see me at least twice a week, always spends the night, is extremely affectionate and we have great sexual chemistry. We talk on the phone a few times per week, but we text all day every day.
The issue is he hasn’t brought up exclusivity yet. I understand it’s quite early. Within the first 2 or 3 weeks, he was introducing me to his friends as “my friend, Emy.” Which kind of bothered me, but I never indicated as much.
Now, he introduces me to new people with a simple “This is Emy!” And doesn’t use the “friend” qualifier.There was also an incident a few days ago where he said “I don’t know why you’re with me, then.” In response to me saying I’m not into a certain “type” of guy.
Anyway, yesterday was valentine’s day and he didn’t end up waking up until 2pm. He had asked the night before, right before his band played a show, if he could come by the next day, then- at 2am- he wished me sweet dreams and said he was looking forward to seeing me the next day.
When he woke up, he said he would come over at 8PM. I was a little disenheartened. That’s really late for a valentine’s date, but we hadn’t talked about valentine’s whatsoever. We didn’t communicate until he told me he was on his way over.
I opened the door to see him standing with an arm full of roses and him holding (my favorite) chocolate cupcakes. He had a rose in his teeth and was grinning at me. I was so excited. He’d also brought homemade cookies.
When he was in my room he played me a song on his guitar and asked about my day, said I looked beautiful. We had mind-blowing sex, twice, and then he worked on some music stuff for his band while i played videogames on my laptop. We watched a movie and tucked in to bed, and he said “happy Valentine’s Day” and kissed my hand.
My question is, we haven’t had any “talk.” But does this mean we’re more or less together? I’m so confused.
I got up to make tea (hes asleep now) but I can’t get this question out of my head.
Help!BelleAre you joking. He went out of his way to be with you and showed his adoration. Can you just give the poor fella a break and enjoy what you have? He is doing everything the right way from what you describe, stop obsessing!
LeighEmy, it is too soon to day! Even though he did a great job for valentines day it doesn’t mean anything. You 2 are still in the learning about each other stage. He knows that flowers, him singing to you, he knows your favorite cup cakes works for you. That is good but you won’t know for a while.
Lay low, respond to him when contacts you but don’t push it. Valentines Day is very stressful for a guy.
LaneHi Emy.
Stop pushing it! This is the best time of a budding relationship! This is when the guy woos you and puts out all the stops, which this man is doing, and should be relishing in his attention!
Trust me, once you get the title and he “gets you” he’ll start slowing down! Sit back and relax, relish this time, because once your “the GF” the shift will make you nuttier, you’ll get needier, and you could very well break up.
Your job is to carefully OBSERVE this man. Right now he’s on his best behavior, but you don’t really know him well enough to discover his flaws/goals yet, which could be major, such as not wanting a relationship, marriage, kids, horrible with money, lacks long term career/job goals, etc. Need to suss this information out before you choose him, because trust me, choosing the WRONG MAN will only end in heart break.
EmyHi everyone!
I haven’t put any pressure on him or even mentioned anything regarding our relationship status to him. I’ve been very relaxed and “in the moment” while I’ve been around him,
I agree that I should just let myself enjoy things as they are. I’m just tying myself up in knots over the ambiguity, it’d be nice to know where I stand with him, though I don’t want to bring it up and ask him outright because I feel like that would ruin the organic process. Doing the roses and sweets thing, playing guitar for me and snuggling up to me all night feels like something a boyfriend would do.
He didn’t bring up valentine’s day and neither did I, before he came over. I wasn’t expecting anything and so he didn’t have to bring me anything. I’m not high maintenence at all, and he knows that.
I guess I’m just wondering if it seems like he’s getting serious about me.
