Two days ago my online guy was distant. What should I do?

Question - (22 February 2013) 3 Answers - (Newest, 23 February 2013)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I started dating a guy about 2 months ago and we hit it off immediately.

He would text me everyday and our conversations lasted all day and all night. He works, goes to school, and has an 8 year old son.

For the first month he was off of work and since he's gone back he hasn't been available as much, which I completely understand. A few days ago I met his son and it was great, he totally loved me. Two days after that I noticed he's becoming a little distant.

He doesn't text me like he used to and the couple times I tried to he's cut the conversation off quickly. I'm afraid he regrets introducing me to his son and maybe doesn't see a this going long term after all.

My friends tell me I'm over reacting but I could use some more thoughts on the subject.

So_Very_Confused agony auntwork and a kid... AND SCHOOL and trying to have a relationship.....

RELAX... he's just busy... it's almost march and the midterm is coming... papers... tests... etc

also spring stuff with kids... track and field and lacrosse are gearing up...

give him some time let him come to you... hard I know and if it takes too long, the next time you two are together and it's just the adults, ask him if you can talk to him about your discomfort....

Intrigued3000 agony auntI think your friends are right. You are over reacting. His life sounds really busy. The fact that he introduced you to his son was a great sign that you are important to him, so don't fret.

oldbag agony auntHi

His life is very busy, working and raising a child is hard enough but he is also going to school AND dating you too.Could be he is simply tired out or maybe focusing on his son more,maybe his son isn't well or has a problem.

I think the only way you will find out is to ask him,face to face,if there *is* a problem.

Don't do it via text or phone,don't be confrontational,just tell him you have noticed a difference in his communication and need to know if you two are ok.It's a reasonable question.
