It sounds like you're headed into girlfriend territory, and you have to make sure you have that talk pretty soon. You know the one- where you agree that you're exclusive and you officially become a couple.

If you're a "dateable girl", it won't be long before somebody else asks you out, and that might force the issue. If you don't want to wait for that, you might have to bring it up because he seems to be cautious and patient to a fault.

I strongly caution you against just letting things slide for too long if they're making you unhappy. Before long, things become habitual, and you're with a boyfriend who never calls and doesn't take you out, which sounds pretty crappy to me.
