Am I the drama?

Am I the drama?

I (29F) recently started dating this guy (35M), and he's the best man ever, the kindest person I have ever met. He ticks almost all my boxes. Almost all, because I'm still getting to slowly know him, and I love how devoted he is towards me. We've been going out for a month now, but he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet, said he needs time because once he's in, he's all in, which I understand because I also appreciate getting to know him first.

However, I'm kind of feeling bored. I have to add in my previous relationships, the guys were avoidant and terrible at communicating, and I'd normalised that, so I'd do all the work. I would call, set up dates. They would pay for sure, but I'd be the one doing 80% of the work.

Here comes a man, who.i don't have to think when I am around him. He is committed, makes all the effort you'd want a man to make and our relationship is really just progressing normally, but I am bored. After years of having my nervous system get used to fluctuating and confused signals, I don't think I know how to respond to a green flag.

To put it very clearly, I really like this guy and I'd like us to go the distance. How do I get my mind to stop treating this as boredom? How do i get past this phase?
