Do the "Rules" still apply for men you have known for a long time & work out of town?

Recently I have begun going on dates with a guy that I quite like, We have known eachother for several years however lost touch as I was in a serious relationship and admitted he had feelings for me so we decided it was best not to hang out anymore.

 

Both of us are obviously single right now, he works out of town but comes home every other week. We have been on 3 dates now and did fool around a bit. We did not have sex despite both of us wanting to at the time, I just really like him and want to wait.

 

I have been reading a few books: why men love bitches, and "the rules" it doesnt seem to apply to men you have known for a while ... the whole only see him once a week thing doesnt really work for us as that would mean only hang out twice a month... no texting at all... that seems a little hard as we are living in different area codes etc....but at the same time I dont want to become a doormat that bores him because I make myself available *sigh*

 

any advice for a game plan with this one? I know we have amazing chemistry, a lot in common, and we do have fun together... I just want him to want me...and not in a solely sexual way nor as a friend.

Forget the game plan. Do what feels most comfortable and natural. He liked you before so it's not like he is out for a quick shag.

You should read the thread that was just started today entitled, Men getting mad at women for not having sex.

 

You are the exact type of girl that thread is geared toward.
