I know everyone and every situation is different but in general how far should a relationship progress within the first 6 months? I'm 22 and he is 25...

Any comments would be helpful

Well, what has already happened in your relationship? Are you looking to get married? How did you meet? What sort of things do you like to do together? Is there something that you feel is going wrong with the relationship?

Just looking to find out where things might be at between the two of you...

No nothing really wrong I was just wondering what is normal.. He goes away for work quite a bit but we talk nearly everyday and when he is here we hang out bout 3 times a week..movies/dinner etc. We never fight except for that once( details are in my other post if your interested) he has not said he loves me but has never said it to anyone before..Said he feels like he could love me a lot in the future..

Clough

I'm glad to hear that there's not really something wrong. But, have you told him that you love him? If so, what has been his reaction or response, please?

Thanks!

Ana_

No I havent told him really.. After what happened in my previous post I asked him if he loved me at which point he said he has never said it to anyone and that was the main reason that he broke up with his ex gf ( she was in love with him but it didnt feel right for him). I then told him that I didnt feel like I loved him yet which was true then but that I felt I could love him a lot in the future. And he said thats how he feels aswell..This was about 2 months ago now

I haven't checked your previous post, but maybe that's something that really doesn't matter because maybe you need a fresh beginning here.

What sort of things draw the two of you together, please? There has to be something that is keeping you two together.

Hmm surprizingly I havent really thought about it before..lol.Whats keeping us together? Well I think primarily there is a very intense physical attraction..But we also get on really well we can talk for long periods of time about anything and it doesnt feel forced. I think the main reason we are still together is because we are both pretty easygoing and have a similar approach to life

I know that you're still online Ana_ and apparently still looking at this thread. But, I'm going to need to get going here because I haven't been to bed yet! Bad me! I would still like to work with you on your situation, but I'm sure that there will be others who will come along who can also offer very fine advice and suggestions for you!

If needed, I do know some people on this site whom I could alert to your thread who could also help you out. I invite people frequently to posts where extra, insightful help is needed. Please let me know if you would like me to invite them. Their advice would be excellent! I am very concerned about your welfare as well as the relationship that you are having!

Clough

Thanks for the answer, and I will be sure to check back to see how things are going for you on the thread that you started!

It comes across like you almost want to rush this. He's being honest with you and that's great, you got yourself an honest guy. Appreciate it. He's wisely protecting his emotions and his future and not throwing around the word love like a horny high schooler. It has meaning to him and as such it's something you should appreciate when and if he does tell you. Right now, enjoy the time you spend and don't push him to soon. Remember in the game of love, patience wins.
