ThisisIt606 Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 In general, when You're dating someone (for a little over 1 month) and one person in the couple has to travel alone (work or pleasure related).. should the one who is traveling generally be the one to reach out first (I've arrived or I'm home/ general " check in" convo") or the person who remains at home? Does your opinion differ based on gender of person traveling? I've always been of the mind that if the guy is traveling and I'm home, I will wait for him to reach out first as I don't want to bother him while he's away with friends and or family ( particularly if we haven't been dating that long yet). I figure if he wants to check in with me he will. I ask because I am traveling. The guy I'm dating is working this weekend and can't text much at work, but he has checked in with me first with a "thinking of you" text, asking when my flight was/ have a safe flight. I'm going home soon ( he knows what day as I told him before). Should I call and let him know when I'm home/ general catch up talk? Or wait from him to reach out to me?
smackie9 Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 It shouldn't matter whether you are traveling or the one at home, guy or girl, you should always "reciprocate". A relationship should be a two way street... 2
Author ThisisIt606 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Agreed. I just don't want to be a nuisance during his work days, I guess that's more of my worry. He reached out first Friday as we spent the day together Thursday and that evening I felt ill and went to bed early. He checked in with me Friday asking if I was feeling better/ glad I was. He texted me later that night that he was thinking of me. Saturday he also reached out asking for details about my flight and to have a safe one. I responded letting him know my flight details and told him to have a good work day. I texted him later something that reminded me of him on my trip. He didn't respond directly to that, but instead texted something that reminded him of an activity we did together recently. Today, I messaged first asking how his day was going and told him I was headed out to an acvitity ( something my guy and I recently did together) with a family member. He ask how it was and if it was " more fun than our adventure :P" I responded with an inside joke we have and didn't hear back. Based on this is it " my turn"? You think to reach out?

smackie9 Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 If you want to, then do it....if he is busy he will get back to you when he has the time. You don't have to make this a game or make it difficult....if you are thinking of him, what is the harm in letting him know? It's not a bad thing. 1
