Seems like you're being overly analytical about a relationship. You want his five year plan like it's some kind of work project you were handed. I think he's hung up on the distance and the fact that long term relationships don't work. Talk to him about it, be direct and ask him outright. At least then you'd know.

Many dates. 25+.

Thanks I'm just going to ask him.

I personally don't really consider this LDR. It's under three hours.

Less than a month’s worth of dates.

My husband proposed at 6 months, everyone is different ... but you said you’re tossed between two guys. If things don’t feel like they are leading anywhere with this one, I’d listen to my gut. JMO

25 dates in a month? I cant even fit that in if the guy lived next door, that's almost every day! This has taken longer. It actually does feel that way to me. I think it has a lot of potential. But I want to know his intentions. He is a man of few words.

I would consider 2.5-3 hrs long distance , for sure, but this is a bit dependent on how rural a place you live.

I think he was trying to ascertain whether you are willing to relocate at some point in the future. I sense it was a leading question that went nowhere.

But it’s still less than a month’s worth when you break it down by days.

You didn’t say how long you’ve been seeing him, so 25+ dates over how many months?

And ... are you dating each other exclusively?

Those bits of information would be helpful.

I've already told him I am.

We haven't discussed exclusivity. I have been out with other people. Don't know if he has. Right now I would say there are two men that stand out for their character and I am trying to narrow it down. He is one of them.

Awhile, several months. I get that it's less than a months worth but most people on here seem to think you "should" be exclusive much sooner. I'm actually not one of them, so the pace is okay, but I'm trying to ascertain if I want to keep putting time in or focus more on the other guy. I'd say I care a lot about him and would like to know where I stand.

I agree.

If you can't drop by, it's long distance.
