[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree this is probably about his ex or prior relationships generally-- you may just be a better fit.

I do think it's worth it to ask him though. I have dated guys who praised me a lot for being "chill" or easy to get along with, who then bailed at the first disagreement. Only he really knows what he means by this. Could be he likes how self-sufficient you are. Could also be that he has no conflict resolution skills and likes that there's no conflict. I'd ask.[/quote]

This is what I was thinking too. He’s praising it because he likes things to be easy, which, fair enough, who doesn’t. But if you combine your life more it may not stay these easy so I wouldn’t want a relationship dynamic that was largely based on me making someone else’s life easy. I don’t know that there’s much you can do besides keep being yourself and really pay attention to how he handles situations where you aren’t “easy” or possibly ask something of him, which is part of being in a relationship that is more serious [/quote]

This exactly! It’s always easy in the beginning. The fact that he’s saying it may mean he’s expecting it long term. Relationships get hard, no matter how “easy” a person is. I would worry he’s conflict avoidant.[/quote]
