Good advice, I will definitely talk to him about the situation.

I thought the same.


My ex (military) was kinda like that.


Maybe he is just very old fashioned? Not everybody likes the constant texting or signs of affection too early on. Maybe he is just very nervous and shy?

Wait, what? You want some man you barely know to offer to buy you food and bring it to your house where you live with your 2 year old? What?

That's the kind of woman you are? No wonder he seems so cautious with you.

I see your point. After 2 dates I shouldn't expect too much.

Actually we've become exclusive already. He asked me on our 2nd date not to date other guys and promised not to date other women. But there's still a certain distance between us. So yes, it's too early for meeting my son.

Yeah, he is shy. And nervous too, especially when there are pauses in a conversation. May be that's why he behaves like that.

The thing that seems odd, is the way he would wait til last minute to confirm your date or place. Trusting that you will definitely be meeting on that day is one thing, but expect you to sit around and wait to be informed of location is quite another. Like he is ready to fly away this weekend and therefore you will. Some signs that says something about him.

Otherwise, I don't think it's weird he haven't try to hold your hands or kiss you after couple of dates. I agreed at this point he has no connections to your family yet to do what you were expecting.
