Hai guyz. I have been kind of MIA the past couple of weeks! I've been super busy with work, home, volunteering, and being sick as a dog off and on. Oh and I started online classes again. Blaaargh @ responsibilities! I don't know if some of you care or don't care, but here is some updates to my love life!

Not much! Lol. Still talking to Sugar Lips. Still seeing him about 3-4 times/week. I usually spend one weekend night at week at his place. I am completely IN LOVE with his dogs. They are so damn cute and lovable. I mentioned last week that the prior weekend he kind of asked where we stand, relationship wise. I'm too chicken to bring it up again, but nothing was clarified from that brief conversation besides the fact that we're both wusses.

I can tell he's scared to get into a relationship because of his humor front that he puts up all the time. I'll let him know that I'm thinking of him, or that I've missed him if I haven't seen him in a few days, and he'll say something like awww but instead of reciprocating the sentiment he will make a joke about something. Then again, he already admitted to being scared about getting into a serious relationship, so I suppose we're just taking things very slowly.

This weekend I am volunteering at the Gulfport Music Festival selling beer (I will meet lots of interesting people!) on Friday and Saturday, then I get in for free on Sunday to see Maroon 5 (ADAM LEVINE OMG HUMP)! I invited him to go with me, and he said yes just as long as something else (Marine Corps) doesn't pop up and run interference. I'm 99% sure he's not talking to any other women.

Also, his birthday is coming up in a few weeks. June 11th. Should I do anything? Our first date was on April 11th, I believe, and we talked for a few days before that, so by then we'll have been "casually dating" for about two months. He loves getting different beers, cutting out the logos, and adding them to the beer collage he has on his wall. I was thinking of just getting him a six pack of a beer he doesn't have yet and cooking him dinner. Maybe getting him a small gift that has to do with his dogs (he loves them). What do you guys think?

Should I have "the talk" with him before then, or let him bring it up since he seems to be the one that's more hesitant?

    Hi Cupcake!!! Missed ya!

    Birthday.. if it were me, I would probably bake him a little something then just treat him to a dinner and drinks. I wouldn't buy him anything but maybe I'm a cold hearted snake. I see as buying a gift to be a little serious for my taste so I take it slow on that front.

    And I'm jealous you get to see my Adam!!!

    Look into his eyes. Uh-oh. He's been telling lies...

    Hiya cupcake, missed ya too! :flowerforyou:

    Personally, after 2 months - 3/4 times per week, I'd buy him something and the above sounds perfect! Go for it :bigsmile:

    Where I come from that is called a relationship!! I know you Americans seem to make a bit more of a thing about talking about it being a 'relationship' but from where I'm sitting, you're already in one. So go buy your B/F a pressie!! :laugh: :wink:

    D'aww :blushing:

    Not saying I don't want him to be my BOYFRIEND but I think right now he is just my boy friend that I'm spending lots of time with and having lots of cuddles with. I want him to acknowledge that he is my boyfriend. :P But only when he's ready and comfortable.

    I had been wondering about you. And yes - we care about your updates! I'd go with the bake him something and take him out to dinner. But I don't like buying presents for people. I'm always afraid they won't like it.

    That's why I was thinking of just buying him another six pack of beer that he doesn't have on his collage yet. My favorite beer actually--Yuengling.

    As far as taking him out to dinner, I know he much prefers cooking to eating out, so I think cooking for him would be more special? Not sure.. lol.

    What about "the talk", guys?!

    Then by all means cook him dinner. I'm not a big fan of talking. Sorry. That's why I didn't even touch that subject. I'm all about having fun, dinners, sex, etc. The fun stuff. Not all that yucky talking stuff.

    I think what you have planned sounds perfect for a 2 month relationship and I don't think you need to have the talk unless you are actually confused on what is going on. It doesn't sound like it at this time that you are but his birthday is almost a month awway so things could change.

    Your gift sounds perfect, maybe take your profile pic and frame it for his collage ;) and I wouldn't get into any bf/gf talk on his bday unless he brings it up.

    LOL I wasn't planning on asking him about the bf/gf thing on his birthday. LOL that would be so funny.

    "Happy birthday! I give you---ME! I'm your girlfriend now!"

    Wouldn't be the weirdest birthday conversation I've had... not even the top two.
