early dating question

    Started 'dating' a guy about 6 weeks ago, we live in different towns so dont get to see much of each other but talk every day even if its just a short text. We also both live with family (both in our mid-late twenties) so theres been no opportunity for getting too physical yet which is fine as we've both been burned and have reason to want to take it slow.

    We'ed known each other for a good while before getting together and it was obvious he was interested, texting alot and giving compliments. He's slacked off a little with that now, but he still makes the effort to keep in touch on regular basis and suggests meeting up about once a week. (its usually just for a the day, and fairly casual, we dont generally hold hands or kiss until we are saying goodbye.)

    Recently we met up with some other friends and afterwards my friend said it was obvious I was mad about him. I know its impossible for any third parties to know the answer to my question but Im curious, does it sounds like he's interested but being careful and taking things slowly, or that he's having second thoughts now that were seeing each other? I did mention it before that he seemed a bit distant sometimes and he just said he's a private person.

    IMO, if you've been "dating" him for six weeks it's time to discuss what you think you're doing together. Not to label it but discussing are ye exclusive, are ye going out like?

    Don't worry bout the physical stuff until you're both ready

    ok i would be bit worried bout that, he just seems too distant for my liking, if it was me i would just ask him out straight is he happy with yer relationship and the way its going cause least then you'd know

    hope it goes well, good luck

    OP here. We've already had the exclusivity talk and at that time anyway it seemed we were both on the same wavelength about what we wanted.

    I wondered was there something preying on his mind that he doesnt want to discuss. He seems tired alot of the time. Maybe its a health or stress issue?
