How can I get my boyfriend to stop being so clingy?
I've been dating my boyfriend for about 5 months and he's great in so many ways! Only thing is, he constantly emails and texts me and sometimes I'm tired or busy or out with my friends and it bothers me that I have to answer him all the time! So tonight we had a little spat - I was out with my friends and he KNEW that and he was out with a friend also....but he STILL sent me texts all night! I don't know what to do! I feel like if I don't answer him or tell him I'm busy he'll get upset with me. But he keeps ruining all the time I try to spend with my friends because of his constant need to stay in contact all the time! Any suggestions? We've talked about this several times....he's told me to just tell him if I'm busy....but if he knows I'm going out in the first place, why does he keep texting? I don't know what to do anymore!
15 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoShould I give our relationship another chance?
About six months ago, I went out with this guy for a couple of months. We instantly had a connection and started spending all of our time together and even said we loved one another. I felt a connection with him that I haven't felt with anyone in a long time. I think I got scared though, because I started acting a little needy...like I needed him to reassure me all the time. And then he started pulling away and I broke up with him. I was basically trying to get him to fight for me, but it backfired! So then I took it back and let him know I still wanted to be with him...but I could tell he no longer wanted to be with me. But he never broke up with me...he just stopped calling a few weeks after everything happened. This all happened about six months ago. And now he's back in my life again...and we both agree that we jumped in way too quickly last time. And this time we're going to take it slow and not have sex for a long time. Until we're sure...
8 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoI wish he would call more often...am I being too needy?
I've been seeing this guy for a month and for the most part, everything is fine. We see one another about 2-3 times a week, and usually he'll at least text me every day to say hello. The relationship started slowly...he didn't even try to kiss me until the 5th date! There has been some progression in the last week or so...last weekend he brought me to his sister's house for a party and his son was with us also. It was the first time I met him or any of his family. He also invited me to go skiing with him and his son this weekend, which would lead me to believe that he's thinking of me as his girlfriend...even though we haven't discussed it. The thing is, I feel that although we're being cautious with one another and not rushing into anything, I wish he would call me once a day. The fact that he doesn't sometimes makes me wonder whether or not he's really interested in me. Am I being unrealistic? Should I just tell him how I feel?
9 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoHey men...I need advice!?
I started dating this guy a few months ago and everything was going really great until I started noticing a few weeks ago that he seemed a little distant. Right about the same time, I started taking birth control pills, which turned me into an insane mess...I started doing all the wrong things...you know...questioning him a little bit here and there and snapped at him a few times for no real reason. Now I know you men, especially in the beginning stages of a relationship don't really want to put up with a hysterical woman right? So here's the thing...I know I made things worse so I gave him some space...I know he cares about me, but he's unsure if he really wants to be with me anymore because it's not as fun as it used to be. I know he still talks to his ex-girlfriend...who's 20 years younger than him by the way but she's not that attractive. So I spent some time with him tonight, and acted completely normal...he was pretty affectionate and everything, but....
12 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoHas anyone else gone completely crazy from taking birth control pills?
I started taking estrostep a month ago and thought I was losing my mind. I was completely irrational, my boyfriend almost broke up with me, and I was snapping at everyone. I would cry for no reason also. Has this happened to anyone else?
7 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoHow do I get him to give it another chance?
Was seriously going out with this guy for a few months, we definitely rushed into things, especially emotionally. He's been interested in me for a long time, and it just seems that when I gave him the chance he gave it his ALL...he said and did the sweetest things and I know he meant every word! So a month goes by, and I started feeling as if the "honeymoon" was over. And I wigged out a little....not badly...just wanted some reassurance that everything was okay. Did it a few times...and then I think he lost interest in me. Basically told me that his ex-wife did similar things to him and he was never going through that again. But in all fairness, he wasn't acting the same as in the very beginning...it was like when I was with him everything was fine, but when we were apart I started feeling in my gut that he didn't even miss me. He even stopped calling during the day, and would sound defensive if I called him. What's going on?
3 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoShould I consider my "relationship" over?
I started dating this guy about 2 months ago. It started out really hot and heavy emotionally...we opened up to one another almost immediately. He would send me the sweetest text messages 4 to 5 times a day, look at me with complete and total "love" in his eyes when we were together....etc. etc....but then it cooled off really quickly, and when I questioned it he became really defensive and said that he wasn't going to put up with me making him feel as if he did something wrong when he didn't. I can see his point, I guess...but he refuses to see mine. So ever since I brought the whole thing up, he's drifted further and further away....he runs hot and cold. Things will seem fine, and then he won't call which makes me feel like s..t! I know I deserve to be treated better than this, but he used to treat me so well and I guess I'm just clinging on to the hope that it will be that way again. But the logical side of my brain is telling me to just let him go. HELP!!!!
14 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoJust started dating someone 2 weeks ago and found out he's seeing someone else - he's also having sex with her
I asked him straight out if he was having sex with anyone else and he said he wasn't, but whenever I'm not at his house, the same car is always in his driveway...and it's definitely a woman's car. I feel a bit premature in breaking it off with him, because we're not exclusive. But I don't think I can handle knowing that if we're intimate on Monday, the next night he's intimate with her. I feel I deserve to be with someone who just wants to date me, even if it's casual. And if someone else comes along, he wouldn't be cheating, but juggling 2 women at the same time just seems so wrong to me
19 AnswersSingles & Dating2 decades agoIf you spend too much time w/ someone on a 1st "date", does it ruin the chances of a relationship?
Didn't have intercourse, but did other "stuff"...know him from H.S. but haven't seen him in 15 yrs. I'm afraid it may have been too much too soon
