So I am dating this guy for a month already. And he is a bit different from what I am used to.

With other guys that I've been with, they called me every single day (which I don't like. I am not a phone person) and want to see me all the time.

With this guy, he and I rarely talk on the phone -- once or twice a week at most. One time we talked for 2 hours and the other time we talked for 1 hour. The rest of the time, he called to see if I am free to go out. When we are together, we have great communication. But we only see each other once a week.

My question is...does this mean he is not that into me compared to the other guys of my past? Or is this how it is when you get older?

He is 27 and I am 22.

edit:
my main question is...Do older men differ from younger guys when it comes to how many times they want to see their girlfriend or how much they communicate with their girlfriend (not saying that I am that guy's gf...just in general)? When I dated guys who are around my age (22-24), they tend to be more needy and clingy. But with older men, they are a bit carefree and want their "self-time." Is that how it is?

Don't you already have a BF on the forums?

NO. he is NOT my boyfriend. He is just my friend who posted my pic on a post in ATOT, which is the reason why I registered on this forum (to b!tch him out) and now I am hooked. And I also do not have a boyfriend anywhere else =P.

I'm older than my GF and we go thru this too. :roll:

I don't feel the need to be on the phone for several hours a day. Don't take it personal... if the guy is still calling you and wanting to go out that's all you need to know. 😉

yes


there is no need to talk on the phone every single day for (x minutes) everyday.

I agree. We all have other obligations and responsibilities in life, not to say that we don't care for our SO's, but its always good to have your own things to do or to take care of business. Besides, the way I look at it, how am i ever going to miss my SO if theres constant contact. I'd much rather not talk a few days, and WANT to talk to her, then be on the phone chatting about nothing (just cause she feels we HAVE to) while thinking of other things I haven't gotten a chance to do.

he is not looking for a commitment is my guess. just light dating. whether he is also dating someone else, too... is anyone's guess.


We talked about this and he told me he is not dating anyone else. He also said he is the type to only see his gf once or twice a week, 3 at the most.


Hmmm, gotta wonder bout that. Is he a very busy guy with his work ? That would make since then. But really, taken it slow is the right way to date IMO.
