I have been dating this guy for a little over 6 months now. He told me that I am the first girl he's liked this much since he was a junior in college (he's 26 now). He's introduced me to his close friends, his roommates, and has told his parents about me. I'm apparently the first girl he's ever brought around his friends. One night we were out at a bar, and he told me he knew he loved me. Later that night when we were back at his place, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was shocked, because he brought it up! I didn't say anything to make him ask me. I saw him the following week, and I reminded him about it. I wanted to make sure he wasn't drunk and remembered. And he kinda freaked out. He told me he has a fear of commitment. I told him it's perfectly fine if we take a step back. But he interjected and said "No. I want you to be my girlfriend. I want you to be my girlfriend."

This is where the confusion comes in. For most of our relationship, I see him about once a week, or every two weeks. We text throughout the week, but I get very little effort on his end to make the time to see me. I feel like I am always the one initiating trying to see him, and its gotten to the point where I'm scared I'm going to come off as clingy (I know i'm not, but I feel like I am!). We haven't texted in 4 days, and I was the last one to send a text. What gives?

Please help me get some clarity.

Seeing each other once a week/every two week and barely communicating in between that is hardly a relationship. Also him never initiating is a big red flag and shows his level of interest.

Stop initiating and see what happens.

I would also not agree to be his girl unless my needs and terms are met.
