Question - (12 August 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 12 August 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am not so sure what is going on. I am 23 years old. I have been seeing a man who is 11 years older than I am. We have been frequently seeing each other for almost 2 months now. Usually they are overnight visits, (sex is not always the outcome). We were intimate very early after we started dating. I felt that we had a connection early on. Easy to talk to each other, could carry on conversation, both enjoy each others company. I am starting to see that I am not so sure where things stand. We have not had the commitment talk, and I dont know how soon is too soon to have it. Even in the privacy of his own home he never kisses me or hugs me. The only time kissing is involved is when we are having sex. I am a very affectionate person and the way I show affection with someone I care about and want to be near is I touch them. Whether it be a rub on the back, a kiss, a hug. Some sort of physical contact. Yet, I never get that in return. Even when its the morning after and we part ways for the day, seldom to I recieve a kiss goodbye. He texts me everyday, and genuinely seems to like me and want to see me. He is always the one to ask if I would like to do something. Yet, the physical closeness just isnt there. Are there some men who just arent touchy/feely with the women that they care about? I am so confused. I guess I should just grow a pair and talk to him. Please any advice would be much apprectiated

BondGirl72 agony auntYou are going to have to talk to him because no one can really answer your question. If it would have been me, I would have taken more time to get to know him and all of the behaviors you are currently describing. You need to get to know a person and what he wants before hopping into bed with him.

It could be that he just isn't the type to always be touching and kissing, but if that is what you're looking for, I'd discuss it with him.
