Dating Problem: Too Keen
Here’s a dating problem answered.
Dear James,
I’ve been seeing a lovely guy for a few weeks now. We get on great and things are going well…but he’s just a bit too keen! He texts me several times a day and gets upset if we don’t speak every evening. I do really like him but I can’t breathe! What should I do?

Dear Nisha,
Thank you for your email. It’s a difficult situation as you need to tread carefully. If you play harder to get then he might try even harder. But if you don’t then he’ll put you off and it will be too late to do anything. That would be a real shame if you do like each other.
Some people need constant reassurance that all is going well and they are worried they might lose momentum if they don’t show they are interested. However, the adoring puppy look isn’t a sexy one.
My advice is just to be honest with him. Tell him you really like him but he needs to back off and give you some space. Set boundaries and make sure he sticks to them.
If he does this properly you might even find that you have the urge to contact him more. Absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder and you’ll miss his constant contact!
Good luck,
