I want to hear experiences and general opinions from women about their relationship with their men. As I said some months ago I started a relationship (3 months right now) and although he is a good guy sometimes I find bizarre things in his behaviour specially the last days.

I make this thread to see if this is normal or to see how other men behave, it's not a critic agains male gender lol, but just to make me understand something because I didn't have experience.

For example, my boyfriend and me meet around 2 or 3 times every week because he works and he is quite budy with some studies he is doing, apart from that this week he has cancelled plans 3 times (in the same week!)
We don't go running today because it's raining, maybe tomorrow. Ok, but why can't we have just a coffee?
I can't go today because I have a last minute darts game with the team I'm sorry. Grrr

We better chat tomorrow, now I want to watch a film

These are some examples, I have to say when we are together he is allright but sometimes he wants to go home fast.

The most annoying habit is that he always tells me things in last minute mode, and I have to be waiting until he gives me news about plans.

I talked to him about all this and he says there isn'y any problem, just that he is budy and the **** weather makes him lazier than usual but not bad intentions.

So... these are my "problems" in the third month of relationship, I'd like to read yours to see if mine are normal or not and just to read more experiences.

If this is a sudden change, it's worth your concern. Sometimes this behavior is nothing more than a temporary lull, but it could also mean he's either rethinking the relationship or even meeting someone else.

Yes just the time is going to tell me what's going on, he assured me that it's just coincidence and just a bad week. When I told him "we have to talk" he was a bit scared about what to expect.

The positive side is that he announced his parents he was going out someone some days ago.

If this is not how you want to be treated, make it clear. Do not blow "small" things like this off. If these things keep happening, and you justify it to yourself, "Oh, he was busy.". And the relationship continues, don't think things will miraculously change if you end up married....and...he does the same exact things.

Been there, done that. Do try to learn from the mistakes of others....

If I were in your shoes I would just assume he's really not that interested. That's what it sounds like to me.

The only problem with this, is that if SHE ever gets too busy and feels the need to do the same, she'll have no excuse. He may need to communicate better in these situations, but may still need time to himself occasionally. Don't we all?

You know what they say about people who ASSume. Better to talk it out, first.

Taoist is right. Definately talk it out. However, I say it is the bolded above.

When a guy is interested he will make some time in his schedule for his female interest. Instead, this guy is finding excuses to not have the time that was already made. Definately a bad sign.

Yeah, sounds like you're more of an option than a priority.

I'm willing to assume she's not a priority.

Obviously. I mean, that's just really rude behavior.
That early in dating, it's practically a brush-off.

If it's not a brush-off, why would you want to be with someone so rude and inconsiderate?
