How long should I wait before accepting that a guy is simply uninterested in me? It has been two weeks since our last date, which was the third time we went out, and he hasn’t even messaged. I don’t know if I should just ask him what’s going on but I am afraid that makes me sound needy. I thought we had a connection, so this silence is a bit of a surprise. I am thinking of waiting for another week and then assuming this is over. What should I do?
Reaching out to ask someone what’s going on doesn’t make you needy; it simply puts you in the driver’s seat and brings you information you need. Without that, you will assume the worst and start to doubt yourself, which isn’t a nice place to be in. It’s always possible that there’s a plausible explanation for this person’s silence. If you don’t hear from him, message to ask if everything’s okay. If he chooses not to respond, that is just bad manners, and you can then congratulate yourself for dodging a red flag. Until that happens though, don’t overthink this.

I have been dating someone I have nothing in common with, but he makes me laugh. Is this reason enough to stay with him? I worry that it won’t be enough to sustain a serious, long-term relationship but at the same time I enjoy the time we spend together.
If you like spending time with someone, for whatever reason, you should think of it as a gift and accept it. There are all kinds of reasons why some relationships work while others don’t, and it’s impossible to quantify this because everyone is unique. Instead of worrying about a long-term relationship, why not enjoy what you have and see what happens? With time, you may even arrive at a different understanding of what this person is really like. It sometimes takes time for someone’s personality to reveal layers of itself. Go out, have a good time, and stop worrying.
