How to not freak out/jump to conclusions when a guy doesn’t text between dates?!

I’m a female in my early twenties who started seeing a guy in his early thirties a few weeks ago. We texted for a week or two before finally meeting.

First date went well, ended with him kissing me/making out and some hand holding. Texted often after that. He planned second date before first date ended.

Second date also went well. No sex, but definitely some heavy smooching. Both agreed wanted to wait for sex. Both initiating texting after date-about 50:50. Sometimes he text first, sometimes I but both keep the convo going. Talked about third date but couldn’t make definite plans due to busy schedules.

Third date wasn’t really a date but more of a last minute hangout/wanting to see each other in the spur of the moment. We had both been busy and didn’t plan a formal date but still wanted to see each other. He came over and Spent the night, cuddling/spooning, kissing all night.

Morning after I get a text from him saying he had a great time. I asked him out for a date the next week which he agreed too. All the previous dates he had initiated so I felt it was my turn to initiate one. After making these plans though texting has fallen off.

I have texted him first twice to which he replies right away.. but he has stopped texting me first. It’s only been 3 days since I last saw him but 2 of those 3 days I initiated the texting and felt his replies were shorter than normal.

Our date for the week is still on as far as I know but his sudden drop off in texting has been given me major anxiety and has me wondering if this is him starting to fade out. Things seem so well in person but now that the texting habits have changed I’m wondering why. I don’t want to mention it because it’s so early on.

TL;DR had 3 great dates with a guy. 4th one is planned for the week but texting has suddenly fallen off on his side. I texted him first a couple times to which he replied back right away but why has he stopped texting me first? Any advice on not worrying so much about lack of texting or should I be worried that he isn’t texting now....

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou
