Me and this guy have been together for approx 6 months. Lately he seems to backing away. He just starting working nights and I completely understand that it is going to take time to adjust, however I have not seen him for about a week, he has not called me in about 5 days. I have left messages, text, he has yet to call. I have spoken to him about not seeing him and explained that I understand and I want him to work, but to keep the relationship alive we still need to communicate.

I called his house this morning to see if he was home because he only works monday - Friday and I knew he would sleep most of the day Saterday, however is mom told me he went out with his friends and never came home last night, she also said she gave him my message to call and he said I know I have to call her. My questions are what should I do, give him space and wait till he calls me? This is what I have done but he still is not letting me know what is going on. I am very hurt that he went out with his friends because I have not seen him in a week and figured he would want to spend the one evening and day he had free with me but I was sadly mistaken. Any suggestions, should I keep giving the benefit, should I move on, should I give him time to come to me and let me know what is going on. I just feel we are adults, in a committed relationship, you are either here or not, I am here to support him if he is going through some things however he will not allow me to do that or to even know if he is going through some things or he just does not want to be here and does not have the balls to say so. Any suggestions?

Give him a deadline, behavior like this is inexcusable in a serious relationship and even if he does still like you, he's acting like a complete asshole.

This is from my own experience. Back up and DON'T CALL HIM. If he really has feelings for you, you'll hear from him. The six month marker, hmmm. He's probably testing ground to see if you're going to trip on him having a personal life outside of your relationship. I've been there where my guy spent time with friends before me and I realized later that I have to fill the void in my life with things that make ME happy, not fill it with only him. He wants to know that he can still have friends and go out and not have you calling and wondering where he is all the time. Men love independent women. So, show that you are by not calling. When he's ready, he'll call. I PROMISE! Don't bug him though. I know, we move a little different than men. But, trust me on this. He'll come around if there's really a connection.

I think he is avoiding you and coming up with excuses to ignore you and am very sorry to hear what he is doing to you but I think you should move on and forget him because when guys start acting like that they are most likely hiding something and and some of the time they are talking to another girl..

First of all you done give him a deadline or any type of ultimatum.!

You young people today do not allow each other space/time. You suffocate one another with phone calls; text messages and emails.! Did you put yourself in his shoes? Did it occur to you that he is working and would like a night out with his friends? Why not? I understand that you miss him and enjoy being with him. But it isn't all about you. You young people suffer from the Me. Ism disease. Listen when a guy or a girl starts to call less; see you less it is never really about the job. It because he is re-thinking whether or not he want to be in a full time relationship. The fact that he slept out the other night is not a good sign. Either. I wouldn't call or text him again. Let him make the next move. It seems to me you have left enough messages.!

If and when you do talk to him just be yourself and be honest. But try to make it about him and not you. I would say something like. How are you, so are you adjusting to working nights, it so nice to hear your voice, I have missed your company, call me when you have some time to go hang out. Get off the phone you end the call. And see what happens. I wouldn't bring up the relationship, why he hasn't called, is there another girl or why he went out with his friend and not you. Try to be the mature one. Besides I am 42 and I have a lot of experience with this type of behavior. Honey trust me it will work.!

You should just be honest with him-try and arrange a time to see him when you can both talk. Make notes on what you want to say to him before you see him so you don't end up sounding needy or irrational. My boyfriend and I have always had very different schedules and he also has a son from a past marriage so sometimes its very hard to get time together but at the end of the day we always do. Even if its only a text to each other once a day-we still communicate. Its hard but you will have to accept that he may not be able to see you as much as you want-my boyfriend recently started working more hours so we do see less of each other-rather than feeling bad about this I use the time to catch up with my friends, go shopping, to the beautician, studying and generally being girlie. I appreciate my time with him more than ever because it is more limited. However it may be that he is unsure of your relationship-and I know this is probably hard to hear but you should just confront him and ask him. You can't resent him for spending time with his friends-its not healthy to spend all your free time with one person. At the end of the day you both have too want to make a relationship work and I'm sorry but it doesn't really sound promising if you haven't spoken in 5 days-just be honest with each other and if its meant to be you'll find a way to make it work. Good luck!

Does it ever annoy you that you're single?
random-ren asked 12 days ago

Yes, most of the time! I really wish I had a boyfriend/girlfriend!

A little, because I feel left out.

Not really...

Nope! I have too much fun being single!

What's there to be annoyed about?

What pickup lines do you use to start a conversation with someone you are attracted to?
I think on my feet a lot and say what fits the time. A good way to start might be "Hey what's up? How are you doing?" I try and keep it on my side of the 50 yd line so I can attack and play offense a little more.

How do they typically respond?
Depends on the girl... Some think it's fine and others think I should be shot for it lmao but it just depends on the girl and what kind of personality they are into.

Do I have the right approach?
