I was upset because I've enver dealt with anything like this before where things were going so fast...and I didn't know much about him before we started dating...and I thought that I was dating a crazy person...but it turns out that he does have problems with the opposite sex because of past gfs...his mo tries to give him advice on dating and he's so worried about making a mistake

I sat him down and had a tlak and told him what was bothering me

I said...money, trips, gifts will not win my love...nor will you attention and controlling me

I asked about his past gfs and how this might be interfering with our relaitonship and he said yes...it is...and he will stop that.

We both agreed to start fresh and start slowly...and plan certain days to see each other so we have time for other things...and he said we won't go to new york unless we are both feeling ready to do this

I told him I wasn't at the same stage of love as he was and that I needed time and space...and he said he was happy to give me that

finally he said...I am glad you spoke up because I felt something was bothering you for the past couple of days...

the stressed is relieved and I finally feel like we are on the same page and that there is potential for this relationship...he listened and I lsitened to him...we compromised...and both agreed to make a fresh start

thanks for everyone's comments...I wanted to send it out in the open...especiallyAAAAA comments...I think you hit the hammer on the nail

he is just very sentimental...and he's overthiking the relationship because of nerves
