    Hi All,
    I have met a 54 man in an online dating. That was last December. We both are separated, He’s got 1 child and I’ve got 2. Our first date was last February, we still messaging and meeting once a week, we are busy people and I feel I am just having an affair. Each time I ask for more he feels under pressure! I would like this be as natural as possible but I am now getting fed up and stuck…. Any advise? Thank you

    Nearly a year of once a week and no commitment? Gulp! Even taking into account covid that’s pretty lame I’m sorry to say … are you sleeping together? If so it sounds like he just wants to keep it casual … sorry

    How old are your children ? Do you live close to one another so you can do dinners etc ?

    Oh dear. He gives you this amount because this is what he wants to give you. There is nothing you can do other than leave. Or you can tell him you are no longer exclusive because you are looking for what you want and he is under no pressure to give it to you, but you won’t be exclusive under these circumstances. And next time, do not date a man for more than 8 weeks who only sees you once a week and be clear what you want at the beginning.

    You asked for more, he said no. Wishful thinking will not change that. Men do what they want and they act and talk like boyfriends early when they want to be a boyfriend.

    It sounds like this man isn’t going to be able to meet your needs and give you the relationship you want. At this point, I would expect him to be making more room in his life for you, but he’s content with a once-a-week casual relationship. Although, he may not want to take the relationship further since you’re both only separated and there are children to think about (assuming they are still young). Regardless, don’t waste your time hoping that he will all of a sudden change. Accept the relationship exactly as it is now or move on.

    I’m your age and believe that there is still a chance to find someone I can live with happily ever after with. I’m not getting any younger, so I don’t want to waste time with someone who isn’t on the same page as I am as far as a relationship is concerned.
