Following a previously awful relationship, OLD and a few dates, I met a great person who I am really interested in.

Before Covid, we were meeting twice a week and were really keen to spend time together. It was lovely. We kept in contact throughout lockdown and have met up since. However, it now feels like we have been "dating" for ages and it's not really going anywhere.

We clearly enjoy each other's company, but we don't appear to have that much time to spend together. We are both busy and he doesn't seem to like to plan.

I really like him, but have been seeing him since January and I now don't know if it will go anywhere. I don't want to put him off or come across as too intense. However, I feel like I need to know where I stand. I can't work out how keen he is. I feel like we got really close before lockdown and have gone backwards. He is also lovely and not pushy and very considerate. But at the same time, likes to do what he wants / his own thing and I'm now questioning if he wants a relationship / has time for it.

What do I do? Am I just being insecure?

I would just tell him how you feel about wanting to know where you stand, time etc.

It's bound to take a while to get back to where you were pre-lockdown, so I wouldn't worry about that at the moment.

Lean way back. Mirror his actions/input. If he wants to meet you'll know.

Suggest a date to meet and if it's a no go then carry on dating. I'm assuming from your post you aren't exclusive? So he may also still be dating.

Dating is so hard, and to be stereotypical men seem to have the easy ride of it Hmm

Good luck!
