For me, i would absolutely need a guy that texts or calls. I would want to feel thought about and i dont think that you wanting or expecting this is unusual or asking for too much.
For me personally, and this is just me...i would have detached and found someone that gives me attention, cause that is my primary need. And if he cant give it to me, i would just find someone that can. There are a lot of guys out there. And i would rather be by myself then give myself to someone and not have it recipricated.
You are not talking about a day or 2 early on. You are talking more then a week after being intimate with someone. I dont think you are being demanding.
Hopefully more men will chime in.
You always have a choice and control. So does he.
You just have to decide how much of a need this is for you. Can you live without it? What are your boundaries? I think it all comes down to acknowledging and respecting the boundaries that you want. And if they cant do it. You get to decide whether you change your needs and boundaries or move on. You are completely in control.
He does not seem to want to dive in to a long term relationship. If he did. I think he would contact you more. Thats ok. It doesnt make him a bad guy. He is not lying to you. Its just you have to do some soul searching and ask yourself if that is enougj for you. We are all different. I can say, it would not be enough for me. But other woman are different.
