How long to give a new relationship?

[Plentyoffishnets]

I was hoping to get some opinions/mn wisdom about this. I met someone online in early Nov and have been seeing him weekly. I really like him and we have a lot in common, get on really well, have a nice time together and he ticks all my boxes!
When I've gone out with other guys in the past they have asked me fairly early to be exclusive etc. This guy hasn't asked yet although he has said he wasn't dating anyone else. I wasn't sure if he was starting to back away as it's not that easy for us to meet due to distance and dc and messaging has reduced, so i gave him an easy get out but he says he wants to see how things go between us.
I don't want to be a backburner girl as i want to find something serious but also don't want to throw away something that has potential but not sure how long people hold out in this type of limbo.
I know every relationship evolves at a different pace and this could well be a healthier pace than if someone is all in very quickly. But just don't want to be wasting my time either.
Has anyone been in this situation before and how did it pan out? What would your advice be?

OP - you need take a breath.

You’ve been dating for two months. He said he is not dating anyone else. You see each other weekly.
There is no ‘situation’ here. Just a relationship developing at a Norma pace.

It’d be more worrying if at this stage he were writing you love poems and wanting to move in.

There are no guarantees in life. To gain something - you need to open yourself up and take a risk.
And - asking to ‘go steady’ early on doesn’t give any guarantees, you do realise that.

Agree with Josuk. You've been only seeing him since November, it sounds like it is developing at a nice pace. Do you just not feel he's into You?

I think that's the thing. I am not sure how into me he is. To begin with he definitely was: pushing for dates etc but now is more just plodding along with him being less proactive.
Its a difficult one as I am happy to let it evolve naturally if it has a chance of becoming something. But don't want to if I have been relegated to space filler until he finds someone he wants to be serious with. It's not something I feel comfortable to ask him and I am not sure how this can become obvious. And also know he may not even know yet!
I probably am massively over thinking this!

OP - remember - half of those two months was Dec - holiday season when people get busy with events, friends and family.

And at two months - no one knows really how it all can develop.
If you like him - just see how it all goes in the new year.

Oh I remember this feeling, it's horrible. You know you have to let the relationship develop but you are forever second guessing. In my experience, I felt like he was making excuses to date (not so much at the beginning) as he was busy but I had that feeling something isn't right. He didn't tell anyone about me but I let that go. Lots of other things. I just felt uncomfortable. I think someone should make you feel like they want to see you. It should be easy.
Always trust your inner feeling!
