I feel I am doing all the relationship work, how do I get him to be more participative? Am I unreasonable to expect more consideration?

Hey guys id love your help on this matter! I have been seeing a guy for two months now and we are not going out yet. Things are going great between us, we really get on and i feel we have a spark except for the fact that i feel i am making more of an effort than him and i dont want to end up getting hurt. For about the first month of our seeing each other he lived where i am in college and everything was great we saw each other twice a week.

When he went back to where he is from which is an hour away from me the texts became less frequent but i think there is a reason for this as he works very long hours and sometimes is not finished work till ten at night. I can understand this. Last week i had a drunken conversation with my friend and she told me i dont think he cares about you. I text this to him he said you friend is wrong i do like you and the reason she is saying this is because i havent been down.

I feel like we go in phases where he makes a great effort to text me and sometimes ring. Im a little mad now though because yesterday i text him to tell him i was sick and i was in bed. Last night i rang him and he didnt answer and said ill call you later which he never did and tonight i rang him and he was in bed and he basically hung up on me. Am i unreasonable expecting more respect for him or should i see it from his point of view that he is really tired and just wants to sleep every night? What should i do as i really like him.

He's working long hours, he's stressed and you are sending texts basically saying "my friends think I should dump you."

Is it a wonder he's not acting like a perfect gentleman?

Why don't you go and visit him and talk to him about everything? An hour is not that long to travel to see him.

Ask him how he's feeling, how is work going? etc.

Good Luck!! xx
