Should I commit?
Should I commit to being his GF if he asks me to?
Hi so I (24f) met this guy (26m) two weeks ago and he is leaving for his deployment (it’s a six-nine month deployment out of the country which means he can’t come home) in a few days. In that time we have had one date, two phone calls, and we text constantly to get to know each other.
I am seeing him for the last time this week and I don’t know how we are going to leave things. I feel like he may ask to go exclusive in which case I am unsure. This is only my second relationship if he asks me to be his gf.
Should I accept if he asks? I personally see no way of it working it out as we barely know each other and also deployments are hard I have heard. He is not great at phone calling and while I do feel the connection and spark I don’t think it would be in my best interest to fall in love with someone over the phone that I barely know… I get attached really easily and know I would be miserable if I let myself fall in completely.
What I would like is to get to know him better and possibly go exclusive maybe later into his deployment or when he gets back but I’m afraid if I say that he may see it as I wanna date around while he’s gone. I am not planning to but I also don’t want to be tied down by someone I barely know cause it’s only in his best interest to have a gf waiting at home. I don’t think he would think of it this way but I also have no way of knowing. I really really really like this guy already and feel like there is a good chance of it working out long term… how do I tell him how I feel? Or should I just commit if he asks?
Also how would I explain that I want to see effort if he really is interested? It’s so early I can’t exactly nail him to call me at xyz time but I mean I wouldn’t mind if he sent flowers while he was gone or wrote a letter or did something nice. I want to feel like he is thinking about me if he really was interested in pursuing.
Does anyone think it’s worth it to commit to being his gf and why?
