Don't know how to move forward
I've been seeing a guy for three months now. I'm 21 and he's 27. I'm not sure if it's the age difference but having trouble with making things more serious with him. I'm currently going through a divorce and he's aware of the situation so I'm not sure if that's what's keeping him away either. We go on dates, we go hiking, we have sex, we talk throughout the week and do things that seem couple like. The only problem is I want there to be an official title with us. I'm not sure how to bring this up to him without feeling like I'm going to turn him off and smother him. Like I said I'm not sure if it's the age difference or if maybe he really doesn't want anything serious but I can't continue to do things like this anymore. I'm at a point where I need to let him go or move things forward. How do I tell him this? Or is there no way to tell him this without making him feel smothered? I've contemplated not talking to him for a little bit and seeing what happens. Like seeing if he carries on by not contacting me or gets the hint and makes things official. I need help on how to talk to him without killing my chances with him.
