Back story I am 40 next year, have a LO and want another which will have to be in the next few years...

Anyway, I've been seeing this guy ( he is 34) for 3 months plus, he is at my house all the time, stays over 3 to 5 nights a week sometimes will stay a few days at a time, always calling me etc..at about 6 weeks in I had the 'what are we chat' as he accidently met my LO. He said he wasn't with anyone else, was with me all the time, but didn't want pressure etc....he didn't delete his dating apps but said was not meeting anyone..

Anyway its now been 3 months plus, he leaves laundry here, has a drawer etc...but when I asked about a relationship, he said

I was forcing it, he wanted to be sure and feel secure and ready with me.. he said he knows he likes me and that he wants to be with me and makes things happen, but won't make me his girlfriend.

I don't want to pressure him, but am I right in thinking this is enough time to know if you do want it or not?

He is a bit younger than me, may be its a life stage thing. But I have told him that I want a relationship and another child.

It was pretty obvious that he lived with his parents. That's the reason he's staying at yours. Nothing else.

@insidenumber5

The fuck are you doing inviting a man into your kid's life who cares so little about you that he won't even commit to being your 'boyfriend'?

This. You've moved way way too quick. Frankly it's irresponsible as you have a LO. What can you know about this man after 3 months? Ugh I despair.
