    Am I taking this too serious
    Hello everyone, just a follow up on my situation from previous post... things have been going well with the new guy and of course I still have my insecurities.. he is still very busy with his business. He's a very successful business man, so I understand his schedule and he's been under a lost of stress lately with work. But my fear is, should I be worried that at 2m of dating again, should I expect him to take me out to social functions? we talk/text through out the day and everyday and he tells me his schedule which is very busy, but am trying not to be a needy girl and be more supportive... am I taking this too serious??

    You have been seeing each other two months, has he not taken you anywhere? That's odd. Do you see each other at all?

    Do you go out to dinner, perhaps to a movie or show, to the park ?

    In two months he would be taking you out on a date somewhere.
    If he has not, you need to discuss and talk to him about itY

    You did term this "social function" which in my world is not going out to eat, but a evening at the country club, or a social at his business.

    Yes we go out on dates, we both work a lot, I have a new business and he has a lot of other things going on, he works very late lately at least for the last couple of weeks. We rarely have sex, so I know its not about the sex... but sometimes he tells me he is going to an event but don't invite me, which makes me wonder

    If you are talking about work functions, he may think 2 months is not really long enough to do that depending on what kind of business he's in.
    Is this the same guy you wrote about earlier today? You two need to talk and stop texting so much. How do you get a feel for what you're thinking and feeling if you just text?

    Why are you with this guy?

    I think you are more serious about him than he is about you. Sounds like you are an option to him.
    Stop asking him and stop waiting. Who does the calling, him or you?
    Could this guy be married?

    Don't get stuck on someone for whom you are an option. You don't see each other enough for this to be called a relationship. Don't take this thing with him seriously because it does not sound like it is.

    I totally agree!! Do you think I should have a conversation with him about ending things??

    You can tell him you are taking a step back. That you two are not able to spend the time with each other that you would like.
