When you don’t have a history of talking to guys for hours on the phone, there is a justifiable reason to believe that you actually like this guy.
That said, be sure you aren’t overanalyzing this instead of acknowledging that this guy is merely a welcome relief from a long bout of loneliness and boredom.
It’s possible that if you have been lonely and bored for a while, the first guy who is capable of engaging in fun conversation with you could give you a false impression that you actually like him.
When in fact, the reason for the hours-long conversations has more to do with finally having met a guy who doesn’t bore you in conversation.
A man usually takes 2 to 3 years to propose to his long-term girlfriend.
Keeping this in mind, be careful that you aren’t assuming he is taking too long to propose, when in fact, the time frame is still within the average time it usually takes for a guy to propose to his long-term girlfriend.
Usually, he already knows he wants to marry her well before this time frame has elapsed.
Nevertheless, he waits to propose so as to accomplish some financial, professional, or personal goals to put himself in the best possible position to get married to his girlfriend.
