writes: When it comes to love and dating, how does a man act and think differently as compared to a woman? Does it really take longer for a guy to connect emotionally? Does the guy want to have reigns over where the relationship is going, as in only progress as he wants and at whichever pace instead of being pushed or trying to be convinced to take the next step? What of both guy and girl feel that they connect on several levels but one is ready to take the leap in escalating the relationship and the other isn't so pressed to do so? What if there is a legitimate reason for someone not jumping all the way in.. should the other person wait around for them and in the mean time just support and be there for that person and to enjoy the casualty until then?

tamara_r is verified as being by the original poster of the questionthanks guys, seems like two completely different views on the subject..so what should the woman do in this predicament? I feel like theres only so much waiting around one can take, but at the same time she should go out and meet whoever if nothings offical no? How should she approach this guy, just be a friend until the guy feels ready again or...I ask this because Im in this situation and prior to the guy working everything was beyond great but I think I somehow reminded him of where he wants to be, and to have accomplished things..so he started with work and such. I do support his working etc because its important to take initiative but Im worried that Ill get put on the back burner. As we can, we do hangout but is this being casual a little too convenient for both of us? He mentioned how he didnt want to make the mistakes he made in the past, so is it possible hes taking his time or rushing to get himself in order to not have to worry about money and be able to enjoy spending more time with me because Im so different from anyone hes met,,and progress afterwards?

As a guy and iv been in 4 year and a 3 Year relationship i just kinda ride it out. I don't really care where things go as long as i am happy and she is happy i just enjoy her and and all she brings to the table i want to get married and have two kids that would make my world complete but i am not doing that till i am 100% ready and noone is going to make me because they are ready. If they love me they will wait and i would do the same for them. I know that TV and MTV have like TV shows where guys are like NA BRO i aint getting married i aint ready idk if that has anything to do with it. but i also did not buy cable for my house... :D
