You met last week.
Went out Friday.
Went out Wednesday.
Have plans for tonight.
That seems like a LOT! Especially considering you just met. I don't think it's fair at all to hold it against him for wanting a guys night.
I mean this gently, but I really think you should find some interests/hobbies/friends of your own. Don't put all your energy and focus on him. Give the relationship time to grow on its own.
I agree with this. Although I wouldn't necessarily say it's a lot in a bad way, just that it seems like he is interested in you, and just because he wants a guy's night doesn't mean he doesn't like you. I think guys do this sometimes, even if they actually WANT to see you, it's almost like a form of power for them to hold back a bit. Originally Posted by Quiet Ballerina

Honestly, don't worry about the guy's night thing.
But let's talk about YOU. How many days per week would be reasonable to you? Where would you WANT this relationship be in 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months? Once you become concrete in what is acceptable to YOU and what YOU are looking for, it makes it much easier to communicate your expectations to the other person.
Are you looking for a long term relationship? Is he? In my opinion it's good to have a conversation about these things right up front. It doesn't mean you have to make the conversation all intense and dramatic, it's basically more of a clarification conversation. If this conversation "scares him off" then it just means he wasn't the one for you. You can't "scare off" the one for you. If he's the one for you, he wouldn't be scared off! Right?
If you put on your POF profile that you were just looking for a hangout buddy, then don't "expect" anything more than that. If anything more happens, then that's great, but you have to mean what you say and say what you mean right at the beginning....
