Question Posted Monday September 27 2004, 11:28 am
I really really like my boyfriend but he's always doing things on the weekend to do with scouts and his church and things. I don't think he's only saying that to avoid me but I really want to spend time with him. What should I do?

AskMegan answered Monday September 27 2004, 3:22 pm: Respect that he has things important in his life to do. You're important aswell, but maybe he'd wish to do these first.
Ask him if he'd like to schedule a time to spend with you, other than Church and Scouts.
Tell him what you're telling us, that you really like him and you really wanna spend time with him-if he dosn't take the message, kick him to the curb. You deserve time to.

EnchantedSage answered Monday September 27 2004, 1:23 pm: It's natural to want to spend time with someone that you care for, however, it's also important to be well-rounded and to maintain your own identity when you are in a relationship. I think that you should "take a page from your boyfriend's book" and find some activities to get involved with of your own. Also, you could suggest to your boyfriend that the two of you could find an activity or club to join together. That way you will each have your own "things" that will help you maintain your individuality, yet you will have common activities as well.
I know it's hard when you want to be with someone all of the time, but often people get burned out quickly on "too much of a good thing". If you get busy yourself, it will help take your mind off not being with him and not seeing each other all the time could help to keep your relationship fresh.
However, if you find that he is avoiding spending time with you altogether, it might be time to think about changing his status from boyfriend to ex. Best of luck to you.
MFS answered Monday September 27 2004, 1:14 pm: Tell him. Talk to him. He can't know how you feel until you tell him. The scouts part is a bit hard, but there's the option of looking into joining him in some of his activities if any of them appealed to you, too. But the important part is to talk to him.

Roxybabii922 answered Monday September 27 2004, 1:02 pm: Plan ahead of time, like a few weeks in advance so that way he doesnt have an excuse, and if he says he's doing something then suggest the next weekend, and if says he has to do something then, then you seriously need to talk to him about why he never wants to hang out and if he really is busy or just doesnt want to be around you [ Roxybabii922's advice column | Ask Roxybabii922 A Question ]
jbdreamer answered Monday September 27 2004, 12:41 pm: If he has obligations, you can't expect him to drop them all for you. So ask if you can join in. Go to church with him on the weekends. If he is in sports, go watch his games. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
