What do I do if I feel like a potential relationship isn't moving forward?

[Anonymous]

This guy and I have been talking for about a month and a half now. Things were great there was a lot of effort in the beginning and we were almost talking/seeing each other every day.

We did hit a little bump in the road where I felt like there was an energy shift but we saw each other and hung out and it was fine after that.

Now I'm feeling like I'm not really feeling like the "relationship" is moving forward. We text here & there every day. He has a busy work schedule & so do I so I'm not sure if I'm feeling like this because we're getting comfortable. I'm just not feeling the progression and I'm unsure what to do. Any advice?

Don't be scared to open and talk to him about it. I've made that mistake too many times.

If you love him and see a future with him, be honest with him with everything you said. It might be a hard conversation to start but I think it's worth know where you guys think you see yourselves in the next year and more.

From my experience, the conversation seems normal. I think we all do get to a point we are comfortable with eachother. I think in the beginning, the honeymoon phase is a big thing. We are so new and in love so texting is more frequent and we still have so many questions we need answered. But once in a relationship for awhile, I think now you just know your person. I wouldn't hink too much about the conversation. You can bring it up to him too and maybe you both can compromise and find a way to find that right balance of texting for you both.

What do you want next?
Anything you want you have to voice it
With my boyfriend I asked him if he sees me as a future girlfriend fiancée etc and that I want kids by 2 years.. it took him some days to think since as we know men are “ where is my tity mode kinda slow “ and he said I want a long term relationship with you and relationship “progressed”.
so it’s ok tell him exactly what do you want.


And it’s ok if calling and messaging it’s not how it used to be in the beginning we are curious of each other and talk a lot but gradually we get comfortable

"I want kids by 2 years"

And I want to marry Madelyn Cline, but that's not gonna happen either

“Been talking for a month and half now”. Have you even got on date, spent time with him, kissed or gotten intimate?

Are you sure he even considers himself “dating” you the same way you think it is? Sounds like you both did very little beyond being friends.

You can't always hang out everyday people have work and such.

Move On. It is Clear he is NOT into a Real Relationship or even Making an Effort to Be with You. xxoo

Have a talk with your partner and ask him where does he think this is going just to make sure you're both on the same page.

Thats just as much your fault as his.

Ask him about it.
