    Hi ladies
    I’m dating this guy I really like and he told me he leave for two weeks to travel for a business trip and will go for a vacation with friends. I don’t know what to do because I know we won’t communicate for that long period of time and I think it’s not a good idea to tell him to contact me, right? And just worried if he changed when he came back on a March. I’ve been thinking so much of it these lately and he will leave tomorrow. I’m about to get panic.

    And I’m not sure right now because he will try to make in contact with me if he really cares. If he decide not to communicate on two weeks, will I cut him off or what? Please I need your advice.

    Why would you not communicate while he’s gone? It’s only 2 weeks! Are you a couple or just started seeing each other?

    He told me he can’t communicate with me while on trip..do I need to be bothered? I feel bad. Do I need to let this guy go? Forget him? We’re dating for few months now.

    Did he say why he can’t communicate? are there other problems between you 2?

    Nothing..he made a call earlier and told me about the trip. Is it really something that a guy need some space with the girl they are dating? Just confused right now.

    What? He only told you today he’s going away for 2 weeks tomorrow? Is this a last minute trip?

    I have managed to communicate with my husband from very remote parts of the world. Maybe not every day but sometimes. What does he do for work? Security, military, something like that?

    I do not understand what has your panties in a bunch here.

    You are only dating….what he does is not your concern. Let him lead and you stay out of it. I hope you are dating others….you do know to do that right?

    He told me about the trip few times but didn’t told be the exact date except it will be on third to last week of this month. It’s research related work.

    It’s a couple of weeks,hardly anything. Do your own thing. If he likes you he’ll contact you while he’s traveling or when he gets back. If he doesn’t then no loss, it wasn’t the trip that did it, he just didn’t like you enough.

    I imagine he can communicate with you while he’s away but he doesn’t want to. That isn’t necessarily as bad as it sounds. He might just not want the distraction.

    Keep on livig your life and dating others while he’s away. Then just see what happens on his return.

    You sound anxious.

    You should not to get too anxious about someone you are unsure about.

    If he changes his mind next week, next month, next year…there is nothing you can do about it.

    Direct that anxiousness into something you can actually do something about. Watch T.V., clean your home, read a newspaper, go for a walk. There is a world out there waiting for you. Is your time better spent worrying about this guy or relaxing your mind?

    If this is the case so he doesn’t like me that much or enough. I feel bad about this but do you think I need to address these things on my kind to him?

    In the past, guys who like me and have been on trips contact me while they’re away. but it also depends on where theyr’e going, how many dates you’ve been on

    Please don’t assume it means he doesn’t like you that much or enough. Everybody is different.

    When traveling, two weeks flies by. I could personally imagine being crazy about a guy but not wanting to worry about checking in during a trip of a couple weeks.

    If you like him and want to see if this can go anywhere, let him go,tell him to have a great time and to contact you when he returns. Then go about your life. If he contacts you when he gets back, continue dating him. If not, move on.

    You really have nothing to be anxious about, I wish you could see that.

    Anxiety I know. Just thinking that, if he is doesn’t like me enough, why would he date me? Is that make sense? You can give me suggestions to make things clearer for me so I would consider what is the best thing to do. So, if he doesn’t like me that much, I don’t think I would like it. He must like me enough.

    A guy can change his mind about you at anytime and there is nothing you can do about it.
    I’d suggest you accept that now.
    Either way you need to make sure you’ll be okay.
    What I’m seeing is an insecure woman who needs this mans attention and approval.
    This is not a good place to be.
    I think the two weeks might be good for you because you sound too attached.
    In this time go focus on you.
    Remember you lived life before you met him, two weeks is not going to crumble your world.

    We have been very close, our last date was Valentine. He told me his worries and fears ( just for info) that he might not be a good boyfriend because of his busy schedules and work commitment. He told me e wanted to do the right thing if he commit with me totally. So, I begin to love him and I know he feels that too. I understand that there are times he can’t text or call but this is two weeks straight and without communication for that long is something that bothers me.

    Angel, You are right–he is dating you so he must like you. Assume that this is just his personality to want to not check in during the vacation, and NOT a reflection on how he feels about you. To do anything else is to try to make him someone he’s not, and then the relationship is dead for sure.

    Perhaps you should date others if you are not exvlusive.

    Tell him how you are if you are exclusive – just prepare for answers you may not like to hear

    Ladies, what made me feel this was, he traveled few times and he can communicate whether it’s a vacation or work related. And on this trip, he told me he can’t communicate, what am I going to think? I think he doesn’t care of losing me for no communicating that long.

    Angel,

    I agree with you, why can’t he communicate? Ask him. This is not right. If you do not get to hear a plausible explanation, then start withdrawing and prepare to move on. It is ok to go on trip and not to talk much during this time, and two weeks is not that long a time, but why such a restriction that he specifically knows that he won’t be able to communicate and yet does not explain why? What friends is he going with?

    Well, if someone told me that although all the times he went on trips he could call me but this time he could not I would have asked why.

    It is not too late even to say to him, “I know you told me you cannot reach me during your trip so I guess I could not call you either just to be clear. Why again can you not call if you wanted to?”

    Thank you.
    Yes Maria . During our phone call last night, we talked about the trip and instead of asking I let him know that 2 weeks is very long because we always communicate often, I guess the longest was 5 days of no contact. Is it too needy of me when once I told him to pls let me know how things are going cause I worry. This time he didn’t mention anything and when I told him that two weeks is very long with no calls or even text he only answered “yes”.

    And Redcurley I sent him a message just now. Telling him that I miss the time when he tries to contact me no matter where he is. But now I feel he don’t feel like doing it. These last few weeks I felt he’s getting distant, I think i will be okay in moving on but just hard because we really had great times so I want to consider how we bond together. This is why I feel confused and bit hurt.
