Moving out on his own is a pretty big transition. I admire the wisdom of taking on changes one at a time in the smallest steps possible. If it does actually turn into something, 2 months will soon feel like the blink of an eye.

The strongest growth happens slowly. Be patient, ME.

I agree. He just may be saying he would like to take things slowly. You could just go with the flow. You may find that you don’t like him as much as you thought either. Right now it is about getting to know each other on a more face to face status rather than just talking. Admire that he is being up front and mature. Have some fun and try and not worry where it will take you.

Yes, 2 months is not very long at all. And, he has this new excitement of moving into his own place. How old is he, by the way? He may have been waiting 25 years for his own place. He is probably preoccupied with that at the moment. Let him get settled into his new place.

Just take your time, enjoy the whole beginning part of the relationship, and try not to put any pressure or time constraints on him. You will see, in time, which way this is going. Too soon to know now.

Again, 2 months is a very short time. Just have fun! :)

2 months is still the "she is fun to be with. I kinda like her" stage.

Not the "I'm ready to fully commit to her" stage.

Besides, the best relationship start as strong friendships.

You said he’s finally making plans to hang out.

How much time have you spent together in person over the last two months rather than just talking?

We’ve hung out twice. Definitely less than I want.

Is that due to distance?

No. We don’t live that far apart. The thing is, he doesn’t ask to hangout with me. He did in the beginning, but he hasn’t since. Like I said, he offered for me and my sister and her friend to come horseback riding where he works. So I guess that’s something, but I’m very frustrated because he talks to me, BUT some days he’ll hardly text me and just ignore me all day. I don’t get it. I dont know what to do. I like him and I would like a relationship but I don’t want to pressure him at all.

I would believe him that he’s not wanting a relationship, whether he thinks he’s not ready emotionally or whether he’s not sure if he wants one with you only he knows, but if it were me I wouldn't put my all my eggs in this particular basket.

If he isn't ready for a relationship at this point I would still go on with your life as if he's simply a friend as rmb wrote

You can continue to date and see him now and then.... Big hug.....xo

Thanks everyone for your replies. Still really confused on what to do... cause I definitely feel like I like him more than he likes me. And I don’t want to get hurt if it turns out he doesn’t like me enough to grow the relationship....

I think if you feel that way, then it is that way. Do you know what I mean? Those are your instincts. I wouldn’t try pretend it’s just you second guessing everything. From my experience if a guy was really interested in me and wanted to persue something, he does so pretty strongly. He’s calling, he’s inviting me to do things,he’s accepting invitations from me etc.

That’s just my opinion. I think in the first couple of months of meeting someone you can at least tell if they want to spend more time with you, and vice versa. Not saying that means they want to be exclusive or super serious but you get a sense of where they are and where you are.

I’m on board with dating other people as well as him, but if you can’t do that because you have developed feelings for him, then you may just need to be brave and say I like you but I want to feel like you are interested. If you aren’t I just need you to be honest and tell me that. And if he really is a good man he will be honest.

Don’t settle for someone who seems like he likes talking to you but shows no real interest otherwise.

Usually if someone is really interested, he will want to get to know you as a person. It doesn’t mean you have to be up each other’s butts constantly, but I would say 1-2 times a week to meet is appropriate.
Some people are just bored and want to text with somebody. Maybe he is comfortable with just that.
I’d say continue dating other people and if comes around, then great

Don't sleep with him and date other people too. Have fun. I was in a similar situation and chose to relax and be free. We ended up official boyfriend-girlfriend ten months later. And I had a fabulous time dating two other people at the same time.

I think it's great he's trying to be sure he's making one major life transition at a time. I really believe there's a plan for everything, and if he's staying interested even while not committing to something, perhaps that's a quality to trust. In any case, I think it gives you a healthy chance to keep prioritizing your life to what you might feel led to focus on and if you two are meant to connect, then I hope and pray you will.
