Will my boyfriend ever open up to me emotionally?

Question - (12 September 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 12 September 2010)
A female United States age 51-59, *reamgirl_2010 writes:

I've been dating my current boyfriend for almost three months. We have been intimate for six weeks. I really like him alot and admittedly, feel that I may be falling in love with him. He calls every other day and will send me a couple of emails on the days that we don't talk. He's told his family and his children about me. I've met one of his mother. He's not effusive when it comes to saying how he feels about me. He's told me before that's how he is. He's been married previously, had a relationship for over a year before he met me and was engaged when he was younger.

He's affectionate and passionate when we're alone together, but there's something detached, cool about his demeanor. I want him to fall in love with me, but I can't determine whether I'm getting through to him emotionally. I don't want to feel like I'm wasting my time with someone who is not interested in me on an emotional level and I need some help in trying to figure out if this guy is taking me seriously or if he needs more time before opening up to me emotionally.

janniepeg agony auntMen travel at a slower speed when it comes to love. Also don't expect him to communicate emotions as well as you do. It's like second language to him. He will open up to you if he sees that you are compatible, then he would feel safe to expose his vulnerability when he feels you really like him inside and out. If he has you meet his mother only after 3 months, he is doing more than enough.
