We've only been seeing each other a couple of weeks, he is younger than me (23 to my 29)and he lives at home with his parents.
We have slept together twice already (ooops!)and i really like him.
When we are together he is really affectionate, always kissing me/my hair, and holding my hand etc.

Then when we are apart he never texts or calls me at all. If i text him first he will nearly always reply and if i call he will happily chat on the phone.
But if i leave it up to him i dont hear a thing!!
Its doing my head in, i dont know if i am just a quick fling or if he really likes me?

You could ask him maybe?

Coldtits · 07/01/2009 17:04

You can't know if he's not bothering or if he's trying not to be a pest, only time will tell but DON'T push the issue

erm...its only been a couple of weeks, can you not just try and enjoy yourself? He may be picking up on your anxiety and you wouldn't want him to think you were desperate.

This is going to be REALLY hard, but try not to text or call him for a few days. Each day will seem like the longest day ever, but DO NOT give in. Then, when he contacts you, you will get the biggest rush, because I'm sure he will contact you. It's all a power game at the beginning even though people often don't realise that's what they're doing. You don't want to be the one always contacting as it will make you look needy.

allgonebellyup · 07/01/2009 17:17

Flier, its not brutal, i keep saying the same thing to myself!!!!

i did just kind of ask him by text if he was gonna muck me around (!! cringe!!) and he said "even if he didnt want to be with me he wouldnt muck me around."

God, i hate appearing desperate, i am just sick of all these flings i have been having lately where they just want a shag, lol.

ok will not text or call him for at least a couple of days, we are meant to be going out for posh meal at weekend so hopefully he wont forget that!

Having said that, he did just text me back for about the 9th time this afternoon..

It sounds like its going well then. I think he might be enjoying the attention. He might think hes getting the bumsrush himself if you just completely stop with no explaination. How about a middleground until you are more sure of him.

warthog · 07/01/2009 18:50

well i'd back off tbh. won't do him any harm to do a little of the chasing. if he doesn't contact you, then you know!

KarlWrenbury · 07/01/2009 18:51

Don't text him.

allgonebellyup · 07/01/2009 19:01

ok, starting from.... now!
Lets see how long it takes him to contact me, i will keep you updated!!!

14 minutes since the text ban.

You have nothing to worry about!

allgonebellyup · 07/01/2009 19:51

yeah but to be honest i think it was cos he was responding to a text i sent earlier on.

NOW my text ban really starts, lol!!
plus i will leave my phone at home tomorrow when i go to work so am not tempted!
