she does a lot of the calling, we both initiate texting. I don't like to call her because she is pretty busy with her homework, she takes 6 college courses, 3 of them are masters program, so that is a lot of work. She also works overnights most of the week, so I try not to bother her during the day.

it is a tough call. I want her to know that she is wanted, but at the same time I am afraid to call her because I don't want her to think I am too clingy.

Dating confuses me.

I agree with that Blades

she did say that is part of the reason she likes me, because I understand that she needs the space especially because she has school work to do. I do understand, it just sort of sucks.

the reason i ask is because I just started seeing my girlfriend almost for a month, but we've only been out 7 times. I know we won't be seeing each other very often because she goes to school full time and she works the overnight shift Thursday through Sunday nights. I would like to see her a little more often, but I know she needs space, I honestly don't know what that means, does that mean 2 times a week is too much? I've let her make all the decisions on what days to get together. I don't want to seem too suffocating to her like I probably did with my last short relationship I had.

When starting a relationship, how often do you like to spend with the new girlfriend/boyfriend? once, twice, more times per week? When you grow further into the relationship do you like to spend even more time with your significant other?

i will

Haven't had sex with her yet.

nope, no slump here.

kids are pretty gross...so yeah

what actually happened to people in this world? People want a relationship yet they don't want to spend a lot of time with their partner

I am cooking her another dinner tonight. She likes romantic comedies and I do own Stranger than Fiction, that would be a pretty good one I think.

i have holes in my ears too, they help me hear somewhat

Not in Rochester NY, unless you like bars...neither of us are drinkers or really into the bar scene

i do need my space too. She is actually the one that's asked me out on every date, unfortunately I am the one who thinks of things to do every time, haha. Just need some ideas from her as well

also, she says she has had commitment issues in the past with guys not giving her enough space, I am giving her a lot of space. Would flowers be going too far if she has issues like that?

another question, i'm going to get her flowers, does it have to be roses?

a lot of great advice

i like that note idea

I haven't done flowers for her yet
I cooked her dinner and took her to a japanese restaurant with a hibachi cook which i think was pretty special
