Mystifying behaviour from a new guy

[Sotto]

Hi there, my thoughts are that he is comfortable being really attentive from a distance. Hence the texts and so on. He enjoys doing that and it isn't pressure or uncomfortable for him.

However, maybe he struggles some more with the intimacy of actually being together for a period of time. Would he describe himself as an introvert - happy to be in company for a time, but needs time along to recharge (I'm like that and I start to feel a bit frantic if I don't get some down time.

The distance perhaps magnifies things, because you can't just catch a movie or dinner - you 'have' to have longer periods together. How far apart are you and could you do a couple of 'lesser' things? Have a day out - rather than a weekend, which is a bit full on (I know I would panic a little about that.

All in all, it sounds as though you like him, but maybe give it a try or two more and if there is more of the same, you may want to question if you want to persevere.

Has he had serious LTRs before? Previously M? Or with kids?

Hope this helps a little....:-)
