    Where should I go from here with this guy that became distant?

    I've been dating this guy for a little while now. He asked me to date exclusively after a week or so. Everything seems to be going great. We talk about everything and anything and often share personal details about each other, and seem to be both very happy around each other. He has showed me signs that he is very serious about me, and regularly includes me in his plans for the future. He will pick me up and always drop me home. When we're out together, if he notices another man looking at me, he will sort of push his chest out to show dominance. He will at times order my meal for me and I will sit back, which is nice. He will suggest that he picks me up for most things, even if I need to go food shopping. He will open the door for me, hold my bags and do whatever to make me feel comfortable. For example, if we go and watch a movie, he will always bring a cardigan, just in case I get cold. We normally text every day for quite some time and he usually initiates most conversations telling me good morning or asking how I've slept, how my day has been, when we can catch up etc. We see each other quite a few times a week, and sometimes on the weekend.

    About 2 months into dating, we decided to sleep with each other. That night he seemed to have cummed pretty quickly yet also made sure he pleased me, we cuddled for some time after that and then slept. I actually got my period that day unfortunately and he made sure we got everything we needed from the shops and then had something to eat. He took me out to dinner that night in which we had our usual good time, he spoke what he wants in a relationship, his views on marriage, where he wants to be in 5 years which is to have a family and be married. Then asked what mine are. He spoke about college for me, which I've been to college for a little while yet stopped and he suggested that I stick with a college for my future. We then went back to watch some movies and relaxed. That whole day, he kept getting texts and phone calls, and for most of the calls it seemed work only. I could hear what they were talking about. He told me that he was stressed out that they were going to ask him to be somewhere quick. Turns out, they did or whoever it was. He dropped me home around midnight and had to be somewhere early by the morning. When he dropped me home, he said that he was going to miss me and I didn't quite understand what he meant. Normally when he drops me home, we sort of organise when we're going to meet next. I asked out of curiosity and he said something along the lines of "I'll be away for a few days and I'll let you know when I'm back" The next morning, he texted me asking how I slept. His replies were pretty causal. I replied to keep the conversation going, and then it stopped. It went back to normal the next morning, however stopped pretty quickly. He told me that he was back in town and I told him that it was good to hear, I sent that and then I didn't hear anything for a week or so. As I never start the conversations, I reached out to him and asked how it went, he replied saying "Still working really hard babe, how are you?"

    Where do you suggest I go from here now? Is it worth it?

    He said he'd be going away for a few days and would let you know when he gets back. Do you know if he's back yet?

    Have you ever been to his house? Do you know for sure that he doesn't have a wife or girlfriend tucked away somewhere?
    Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.

    He's playing you. If you don't contact him he'll likely try to get with you again when he figures you've driven yourself crazy thinking about him.

    If a guy's not being attentive on a regular basis... he's setting you up to be an option.

    Next him and find someone who shows you in actions that they care about you or at least show you that they want to get to know you better after they've had sex with you. Even if a guy that wants something serious with you is busy, he will make the time to keep in touch.

    Usually guys pull away when they feel too much pressure in the relationship. When a guy feels pressure, no matter what the situation is, he resists. Allowing your guy to have the freedom he deserves, while still enjoying all of the benefits that come from being with you, will prevent him from fading into black. Having said that, never disrespect yourself to set yourself up as just an option.

    Of course, there are other reasons why he might be feeling distant. I wrote an article about it here: [url=http://www.getandkeephim.net/why-men-pull-away/]6 Reasons Why Men Pull Away - Get and Keep Him[/url]
