Single Mom with a new boyfriend

Published on March 12, 2013 by c-lu

This is a long one...my boyfriend, who is younger than me and does not have kids, and I have been together about 5 months. During the first few months he was very willing to come over and hang out with my 2 year old and I, understanding of my limited time. Now, I seem to be the one suggesting dates and making the effort. This past weekend, he opted to go out with co-workers on Saturday night rather than see me. I caught up with girlfriends and didnt mind, really. Except, he cancelled our plans Sunday morning since he was hungover. There have been several apologies and I forgave him for that. But I still am sick of "chasing" him. I'm a single mom! I should be chased. So, there has been no suggestion so far of plans for the weekend on my end. I'm prepared to not see him this weekend if he doesn't take the initiative to ask...I should mention, there has been no mention of love, though yes to future general plans. Ive held off saying I love you because I am scared to say it first. I know he cares and does small things, but Im scared that we are on two different levels.
