I agree...it is extremely slow from what I am accustomed to.

 

But I still think it is too soon for the gf/bf talk. I don't even know where he keeps his silverware in his kitchen!!!

Do you gals think he genuinely likes me or just using me for the time being until something better comes along? :(

I have no idea.

He may be a very inexperienced man who was maybe hurt in the past and who keeps himself very safe by keeping things cool, women eventally get bored and shuffle off and he takes a long time to find another...

or

He maybe likes being a bachelor, likes the freedom, likes the occasional dates and really doesn't want the hassle of real relationships...

or

He is looking for "the one" and is just a bit slow...

or

He is just a guy that gets an itch every now and again that needs scratched...

or

He is emotionally detached/damaged and relationships take a lot out of him...

 

There are so many scenarios I can think of to explain the lack of progress.

 

OR

 

He may also be a very experienced player who has a stable of women who he keeps at arms length to save them finding out about each other... :rolleyes:

 

Who knows?

It would be interesting to hear what he'd have to say if he posted in this forum.

 

I have a feeling it would be something like this: I have been seeing this younger woman for the past 3 months. Although she always accepts my invitations she never initiates contacts so I am unsure of her level of interest toward me. She is not giving me the go ahead I need to escalate this relationship to the next level and I am afraid to scare her off.

 

People would probably tell him to back off a little and let you come to him. Which is kind of what he did.

 

OP don't underestimate the power of good and clear communication. A man that likes you will only respect you for knowing what you want and speaking it out loud.

 

We don't know, and cannot know what he wants but if you have a conversation with him you will know exactly where you stand with him.

Your thinking too much into this. Usually with older dudes being sick is sign of weakness so he probably didn't want you to know. He's not a texter so 6 days without texting is nothing to him. I think you shouldn't worry about this.

I sure as hell hope he does not post in this forum.

Well maybe that would be the kick in the pants that this relationship needs, if it is to go anywhere.
