I met a wonderful guy a month ago and we've been dating ever since. He's attractive, intelligent, entertaining, and it just seems like we're on the right level. As lame and cheesy as it may sound, I really can't believe this guy is for real; he's just so amazing. But there's a problem. Since we are graduate students, our schedules are pretty busy, his more than mine. We've had excellent dates so far but it looks like for the next month or so it's going to be 1 date each week. My schedule will get tons better after December and although his won't be nearly as flexible as mine, his too will also get better. Although he's busy, he still wants to keep seeing me and vice versa.

 

I'm just concerned that we're not going to have the momentum. But my last relationship started off long distance and we were only seeing each other once a month and we somehow made it work. I don't know if I'm looking for problems or trying to create a problem because otherwise everything else is excellent.

 

Any advice?

Does anyone have any experience with a situation similar to mine?

I don't think that you have a significant problem.

 

 

But sometimes to just over-analyze something good lets you have a lot more enjoyment from simply realizing that it is happening to you.

 

Sit back and relax and be OK with the one date per week in December.

 

The gentle build-up will really bring you to the next level with a strength that you so often wish you'd waited to find with past relationships (instead of going too far too soon, for example).

If everything else is excellent I don't think you really have a problem here. December is a relatively busy month even when you're in a committed long term relationship and I find its those busy times that really help you grow as a couple with someone.

 

Once a week is not bad, especially if there's an end in sight. Just enjoy it :)
