Does he want to date me and be in a relationship with me?

Tagged:

Being in a relationship ultimately boils down to being willing to adopt roles that the other person wants them to play, and following rules that both parties agree to.

You guys need to start talking about these rules and roles so that you can get on the same page about exactly what is it meaning for you both to be in a relationship with each other.

For example, you said he gets jealous of your guy friends. One of the rules of the relationship might be you can’t talk with your guy friends on the phone after a certain period of time. It’s something you talk about and make a compromise over. After talking about it you might realize you don’t need your guy friends anymore anyway and so distance yourself from them.

If he’s willing to play the roles you want him to play, and work out compromises to things you want him to do or stop doing, then you’re in a working, healthy relationship. You don’t have to ask Quora.
