sl1038 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) I met a guy from an OLD site in November 2012. His profile indicated he is seeking a relationship. We have very different schedules. I work mornings, he works evenings. We both have Saturdays off, and that is when we usually go on dates. We have been out on 7 dates over the course of 2 months, mostly in part to our differing schedules. When we go out, we both seem to enjoy each other's company. He always pays for everything on the dates. The one time I tried to pay when he was in the restroom, he went to the waitress and switched out my credit card for his. We have slept at each other's houses after 4 of our dates, mostly cuddling. We have not had sex, and we don't always kiss during our dates. He has met some of my friends/coworkers, and I have met some of his too. One of his female coworkers gushed to me that she was so excited to meet me because he talks about me to her. He has been single for awhile and had one 3 year long term relationship in the past. He is 31 years old, and I am 29. I get the feeling he doesn't have a lot of experience with women. When we are together, he is attentive, and we are affectionate with hand holding. The problem comes in the interim between dates. We text very sporadically and don't maintain consistent communication. At this point, I am getting curious about our long-term potential and where this is going. What is the best way to broach this topic with him without sounding like I am expecting something from him? I find that I have a hard time meeting men that I am interested in going out on more than one date with. I enjoy his company and want to see if he and I are still on the same page of potentially moving toward exclusivity at some point in the not so distant future, but I'd also like to talk with him about more consistent communication between dates.
