This depends on how much effort you have been putting in, and the weight of expectations that you have of him.

Are you the one who is putting out the bulk of the effort?

In that case, it’s natural to wonder about whether you are expecting too much from this guy.

You are the one who plans out the dates and initiates contact the most.

Asking deeper and more meaningful questions of him, in your attempt to get to know him better as a person is a frequent occurrence, without equal reciprocation.

Additionally, you are the one who is consistently open and expressive with your feelings.

There are lots of examples where you know that you have been the one putting out the majority of the effort to make it work, and he hasn’t returned the same effort.

It’s no wonder that a woman in this predicament would wonder whether she is expecting too much from a guy.

In a scenario like this, you have been doing too much and need to slow down.

Give him an opportunity to match the effort you have been putting out.

Let him plan out dates and initiate conversations.

A guy that has been dating you for a short while, is naturally going to be methodical in how he courts you.

He isn’t in a hurry.

Keeping this in mind, don’t get ahead of yourself.

Although you like him, your emotions mustn’t take over.

Emotions that take over, trick you into believing that you are already in an exclusive relationship with him, which is premature.

Once you have this mindset, you are presumptuous in your behavior, and this is what leads to you having premature expectations of the guy.

You expect him to behave likewise, so that you get to feel good about the matching energy.

This puts undue pressure on him far too soon.

The harder you push the relationship in a direction you want, the greater the noose he feels around his neck.

Your are suffocating him.

But you don’t see it, considering that your emotions have taken over your common sense.

You become overbearing.

This is a recipe for disaster.

Slow it down.

As long as it is still early in this courtship, there is no need to force anything.

A budding relationship is better served when it moves at a natural pace.

Take time to get to know each other.

Give him the space to take the lead and set up dates.

Practicing patience and discipline works in your favor.

After all, you want to know whether he is a suitable prospect for a long-term relationship.

Taking the time to get to know him gives you much greater insight on whether he fits what you are looking for in a relationship partner.
