Is it possible I'm dating an introverted guy or is he not into me?

32F who is also an introvert so I feel weird that I have to ask this haha. 28M will tell me to call him which freaks me out so I text him and then he'll ask when I'm available. I was also confused about him telling me to call him because if a guy pursues me through call or text I feel like that's a green light he's into me.

I actually didn't talk to him for a couple weeks because he said he was going through some things and needed time alone. Me being me took that as a rejection and never tried to follow up. We were both at our mutual friends cabin over the weekend and slowly warmed back up to eachother. He did not seem to enjoy me talking to a different guy and kept butting in and by the end of the night we were holding hands. He told me to call him if he doesn't see me soon so I texted him yesterday and we were chatting a little bit.

He initially made the first moves on me and I told him casual for now (yes read between the lines). I've also asked if he's seeing anyone else and neither of us are. Everytime I've asked something like this he's straight forward which piques my attention because in the past when I've dated avoidants they always have additional comments about not wanting to be exclusive or wanting to avoid relationship talk.

I can be standoffish so help me out - should I take a little more initiative or what would one do with an introverted guy? Maybe it's not enough detail to tell if he's introverted so feel free to ask away

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...
