He calls me every nite though and we talk for ages and get on really well. We have already slept together. He is very attentive and seems very caring. It was my birthday recently and he never got me a card (or a present really although he did bring me a box of my favourite beer a few nights before). He sent me a lovely text on my birthday and tried to call me a couple of times but unfortunately i never picked up the calls because i was in work and then out with friend on the evening. I am not annoyed that he never got me a card (a little disappointed but am philosophical about it, you know how men can be about cards!!) but its the fact that his voicemail message apologises for not getting a card and that he said he had posted one!It is now 2 days after my birthday and still not recieved one in the mail. yes this is only a white lie i suppose but it concerns me that he's lied. we are still getting to know each other. Should I be concerned?

 He sounds like a nice guy to me! and as you said this is a 'casual' relationship. Why don't you talk to him and ask him why he felt the need the say he got you a card when he had not bothered, tell him that you wouldn't have expected a card but the fact that he lied about getting one? You really need to start talking in this relationship. I know you said you have a child and you work a lot but you should really make time for yourself and him, maybe it could be something more than casual, but you really do need to ask him about the card situation and where you think it is going? If you are happy how things are at the moment then good for you, but if you really like this guy talk to him and see if things can develop furthur. Good luck!
