Thought I would give an update and ask for advice again. Things did go well with my boyfriend meeting my mom. She loved him, as I felt that she probably would. He's very charming. He did, though, call at 8 the morning of the dinner, said his house had been robbed, and told me he would call me later to tell me if he could still come. Half an hour before, he still hadn't called, so I called him, and he didn't answer the phone. I called my mom, told her it would just be the two of us (was very upset), and got ready to leave. Anyway, right before I was about to leave, he showed up. Oh, got to love inadequalte communication. I went over to his house for the superbowl on sunday too and evrything seemed great.
Talked to him on and off this week, but I think I made a fatal error last night. Two recently broken up friends of mine wanted to go out this weekend, but before I scheduled with them, I wanted to know what was going on with my m. So I called him and asked him what was up for the weekend. He seemed suprised that I would expect to see him over ther weekend, which shocked me. If I didn't, it would be over a week without seeing him without any real reason for it. The conversation degenerated into my feeling unloved, him being non-commital, and my explaning to him that if I wait to hear from him about the weekend, I will not be able to make other plans, and could end up spending the weekend in the law library. He agreed to my coming up there friday, but we didn't agree on a time. I feel like I forced him to see me. I just have never been with someone before whom I had to push to get together. I would see him all the time if I could, but I don't push that angle. I just don't understand how he can go over a week and not even really miss seeing me.
So, I know I was annoying (and probably pathetic) sounding. The calling issue is that now I will just feel even more annoying on friday when I call to tell him what time I can come.
I am totally aware that I want alot more contact than he does, but I don't think that 1-2 nights a week is too much to ask. In this case, it would only be one night in a week. That seems sparse to me.
I must be the most anal person alive.
