Hi everyone! I'm new here. I have a relationship problem, and I would appreciate your help. About a month ago I started seeing a guy. I'm 27 years old, he is 33. He was in a realtionship for more than 10 years (they lived together for about 2 years). But, it ended two years ago. They were really close friends, they also have a lot common friends. They used to go everywhere together, with their friends (his best friend dated her best friend, etc). Their breakup was normal and they remained friends. He still keeps their photos on facebook (as if they were still together).
Anyway, we have been seeing each other for about a month. But our dates are always in his apartment. When he wants to go out, he goes with his friends. He never mentioned introducing me to his friends, nor going out with me. Nobody really knows that we are together. Few days ago I mentioned that I will not go on like this, that I feel cheap meeting him just at night, in his apartment. He told me that I'm imagining stuff, he never looked at me like that, and yes we will go out together, and all that. But there is still not a single word about us being together as a couple. He is out again, with his friends. We will see each other tomorrow (in his apartment).
What do you think about this situation? Is he still in love with his ex-girlfriend? What should I do? Is it too early to expect a normal relationship (going out together as a couple, meeting his friends, etc)? Or should I just give up and leave him (and if that is the case, what should I tell him)? I don't want to find myself in a situation where he goes back to his ex after a while, and I'm left brokenhearted. Other than that, he is a nice guy, I really like him. I would love to try something with him, but I'm not sure if that is possible. This all situation really upsets me and I hope for your response!
Thanks!
