New boyfriend doesn't call much
Hi, this is my first question on this site. I have been dating a guy for a couple of months, we are both very busy people, we both work full time and he is working on his PHD as well. When we are together we have a great time but when we are not together there is not much communication. I guess I'm a little needy but I like to get a little 5 min phone call to say "hi" and "how was your day". I'm not asking for a big long conversation or anything but just a little... "I'm thinking of you" I didn't want to bring it up because I may come off as being needy or whatever but it does bother me a little. He just went away two weeks ago on-the-job and won't be back for another two weeks... in that time he has emailed me two little emails (in response to mine) and has not called once. I feel as though I've been forgotton... I know he is busy but is he so busy that he can't call for five minutes once a week? My friends are asking if I've heard from him and I've said "oh yeah" for fear of them asking "why hasn't he called?" Am I being silly in thinking he should be calling or contacting me more often? What do you think?
