I guess I like my space, I am quite sociable but I do like my own company as well sometimes.

I would say that if you can't spend large amounts of time together then yes there is going to be a problem.
However, there is nothing wrong with having a relationship for a little while without it being a prospective marriage. Have some fun when you are clicking and spend lots of time with your friends having fun when you've had your fill of him.
As long as you are clear that you aren't ready for a long term thing yet (it's nicer than telling him he's annoying) then you aren't hurting anyone. He can always end it if he is looking for a super long term girl.
Good Luck!! xx

Hmm no i think it can be considered normal. People need their space. It's like when you spend too much time with your family and you drive each other crazy.
It doesn't mean you're not working out. As long as you're both happy and you try your best not to get on each other's nerves i think it's all okay. Don't worry too much about it. Especially since it's not been long since you got together i think this is pretty noermal.
