In my opinion, and it is just that… You need to take some time to figure out what you want out of a relationship, and just be open with him about what you want. It’s up to him to meet those needs, or not. It is still far too early in the relationship to be discussing much towards the future. He should also be coming to you. If you find that he is not meeting you half way, and that this is becoming very one-sided, then you need to take a step back to protect your heart and make sure you are not the only one developing an emotional attachment. Give him the gift of missing you. Let him come to you. Men are hunters by nature, and by allowing him to pursue his true nature, you will give him the gift of looking at you differently, and possibly even falling in love with you one day. Take some time and read. I’ve picked up quite a few great books recently… I’m actually reading a few simultaneously. Serenity by Jane Nelson is a good little book for learning to find your balance again and finding a peaceful feeling, going inward. Also, in your case… as it was in mine… I am reading an absolutely fascinating book called Mr. Unavailable and the Fallback Girl. I would recommend it to anyone. I’m also reading Getting to Commitment, and Choosing Me Before We. Among others. After being hurt in the past I’m in a position where I really want to learn as much as I can about relationships, and the reasons that I keep landing in the same position, the one-sided position with men that should otherwise have been a great match for me. And some that should not. Take some time and focus on you. That’s how you will get what you want out of life, whether what you want ends up to be him, or something entirely different.
