Relationship Megathread

Oh, I wouldn't mind starting a conversation about my current relationship.

I've been hooking up and hanging out with this guy for the past three weeks. Lots of getting to know each other, lots of similar interests, lots of fun sex. The good ol' stuff. It's been really fun, and on Sunday we shortly discussed our relationship, simply stating that we weren't 100% sure what we wanted (since to me, an official relationship screams too much responsiblity and obligation) so we would continue doing what we're doing and discuss the subject again at a later date.

I recently moved countries and started a new job at the beginning of September. All the changes have really started to affect my physical well being, and after a work meeting, I ended up fainting and having to go to the hospital. It was my first time needing an IV and I was really, really scared.

After I got home, I text him because I was still feeling very anxious and asked if he would come over to keep me company, because really, I just wanted someone to spend the night and hold me and stroke my hair and comfort me yada yada (which was a little too intimate to ask my friends to do haha).

And his response was "Sorry! I'm going out drinking!"

And I don't know that really hurt me, which I'm sure he didn't mean to do, but it makes me think, to him, this really scary thing that happened to me is less significant than him having a fun night out.

Today did help me realize that now I know that if I am going to pursue a (possibly?) romantic connection with someone, I do really want someone who can support me and understand when I need them there when it matters most to me. I'm thinking of bringing up this ultimatum next time we see each other, but I'm also extremely tried, in pain and apathetic about a lot of things so perhaps now isn't the best time for me to make decisions.

I'm sorry for the long post, but I guess this falls under number 4, and I wouldn't mind everyone's opinions on what would help me feel better about this scenario?
