Complicated... dating a housemate

  • Thread Starter

Sorry for the essay but I don't really have anyone I can speak to about this because it involves my housemate... Really confused and could do with some advice :S

I moved into a shared household in September to start university. There's a guy who lives here who I automatically liked. I wasn't aware he felt the same until about three weeks after moving in. He is seven years older than me and has children from a previous marriage (this isn't an issue). At first, we went on dates and I had a great time, honestly I couldn't stop thinking about him. He messages me a lot and wanted to be around me as much as he could. Now, my problem is that he has been blowing hot and cold recently. I don't want to seem over keen because I know he wants to take things slow but it feels 'too slow'. He has told me things and I feel like now he retracts them. For example, his contract at the house ends soon and he suggested moving into a new place with him, even as housemates. Now he doesn't mention it. He told me two weeks ago he wanted us to be a couple. The day after he barely messages me. He said we should go to the cinema this week. He's booked us tickets to a gig this week too. I've text him about them and he hasn't replied. I want to know because I am working later than usual this week. I'm not a needy person but this situation is making me feel like I'm being needy and insecure. I'm making a concious effort to not seem too hot and heavy. I really enjoy spending time with him. He's currently in the process of divorce proceedings and he misses his children. He works from 6-6 and goes to the gym afterwards so we don't get to spend a lot of time together. I'm wondering whether it's because he has so much going on right now.

Any advice? :confused:
