Some times absense makes the heart grow fonder. If there are things he likes to do that don't interest you let him have time to do these things he will appreciate you for it and enjoy his time with you just that little bit more.
Too much time with someone isn’t a great idea. Being at someone’s beck and call isn’t wise either.
Live your life fully, but include quality time with him. He won’t get bored of someone with their own life outside of the relationship
There is something to what she says. With in reason of course. Sounds like you'll have 0plenty of time later to miss each other. It not really about getting bored not also taken for granted especially in a young new relationahip.
Too available is a relative term. You don't want to suffocate him and be needy, but that all depends on how much space is most comfortable to him and how comfortable your time spent together is.
If you can't be yourself with someone you're dating (whether too available or distant), the relationship isn't right for you. The right man won't take yours 'being too available' for granted.
Depends on the guy/person but I've never understood this. I personally will never "get bored" of the person I'm with and you can't be "too available", but that's me.
It goes both ways. No person should be too available for another person because you will be surely taken for granted
To me having a boyfriend is in and of itself a mistake.
At least if it doesn't lead to engagement quickly.
Because it lacks commitment. And yes, people do get bored after a while.
She’s basically just telling you to have your own life and not get too attached and I agree with her. Never make a man the center of your universe.
I think your mother is full of shit and of the generation that feels like its ok to play mind games with men. Do what you want, dont let your moms idiotic notions influence your choices.
I agree!
I didn't get "mind games from this question, it sounds like she is worrying about what is overbearing and what isn't.
I used to do that. I used to think that if a guy saw me a more than a couple of times a week, I would annoy him. It's an insecurity thing.
I think there´s some truth in it. Because if you spend every free minute together you´ll probably get bored of each other.
I believe it’s important to spend time with your partner however spending “too much” I. e 24/7 can cause issues.
I never believed in that... What about married people? They're available 24/7 and don't get clingy.. Maybe that can be reasonable for more like a not so serious relationship without so much bonding
No we’re not available 24-7. I have blocks of time when I’m working, studying, or being into my hobbies that he knows that I’m not available.
@MzAsh yeah that's what everyone is doing... of course I didn't mean 24/7 literally
Well yeah. But I've went on entire vacations without my man and realized the importance of spending some time away. Of course I missed him, but there is a such thing as spending too much time with someone. When I came home from vacation, he had flowers and a whole meal cooked because he missed me so much. It was awesome.
@MzAsh hmmm... Also that's what everyone is doing too 😅... Marriage couples take a time off from time to time and hey shout out to your man what a great gesture... I generally meant married couples are always there for you, of course more than your boyfriend/girlfriend but also more than everyone else.. Most of the time they're there for you.. Available for you... Not obsessed or anything like spending every minute possible with you
*married
Yes. Everything requires balance. Once you start to make yourself Ms. Available 24/7 without hesitant, you will be taken advantage of mostly likely and taken for granted. Humans are like that unfortunately.
I think that you should do what you want to do. Dont play games
Let's put it this way. Does ur mom have a
good relationship? If not don't take advice from her.
“Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.”
I don't want to be with a man that needs a lot of "space".
When I first read this question, I thought it's about dating. But I think if you two are a couple already, I guess be there for him more often, but don't put as much effort into it as you might have done when you two were dating.
Somewhat true. Both sides should have their own lives.
That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Isn't it more likely for him to get bored of you if you DON'T spend time with him?
