Today, I tried to hold my new boyfriend's hand while on a date. He let go quickly though, letting me know that we aren't at "that stage" of the relationship yet. We've been having sex for two weeks now. FML

Hate to be THAT person on FML, but I would seriously consider leaving that relationship. If he's ******* you but can't be bothered to hold your hand in public, that's a bit of a red flag. Then again you could always talk to him, but this just seems a bit suspect to me. EDIT: And to the comments before me, using sex as a weapon is immature.

OP, that shows a serious disrespect and I would either walk out of that relationship or let him know firmly that his behaviour is not ok. Men normally only value what they have had to earn, and it does not seem like he is valuing you.

Red flag! If he is fine with you in private but doesn't want to acknowledge the relationship in public, that may mean there's some reason he wants to appear single or is ashamed of you. He also may just not be a fan of PDA, so don't dump him yet, but take it as a potential early warning sign and be on the lookout for other bad behaviors.

Just talk to him and ask him why? Looks simple but I think this is the best way to know.

I don't think he sees you as a girlfriend at all, and sex within 2 weeks into the relationship? Really? YDI for lack of judgement.

OP never specified how long they have been dating for. She simply said they have been having sex for two weeks.

It doesn't say they've been in a relationship for two weeks, it says they've been having sex for two weeks. We don't know how long they've been dating.

Who cares if they've been having sex two weeks into the relationship? It doesn't make any difference except that he considers sex as less intimate than hand-holding.

You know why you should try to be non-judgmental when making comments? Because when you misread what they say because of poor reading comprehension you look foolish.

I think you're one of many and he don't wanted to be known

It should always be hand before handy, not the other way around

sounds like he is only interested in ******* you and not in a romantic relationship. which isn't very fair on you if you were under the impression you were dating. unless you talk to him and he says he's willing to embark on s romantic relationship with you, I'd break things off with him and go find someone who wants the same things as you do from the relationship!

YDI for having sex before holding hands.

I hate to break it to you but you should stop calling yourself his girlfriend because you are definitely his f*ck buddy! Sorry OP but you need to move on.

Different people have different comfort levels. Some people don't like PDA at all, others don't like holding hands until they feel very strongly about the other person. Some of those people don't mind having sex, though. I don't think it's a huge deal, but you should probably talk to him about how you feel. That is important.
