    Mod update: Thread closed.

    Talking to a guy for 3 months on a dating app and we haven’t been able to meet due to the lockdown. He’s started only sending one message once a week to check in, but frequently expresses interest to meet up.

    i noticed that he is still active frequently on the app, and more often than he messages me.

    Do guys Arrange dates with multiple women at once, or one at a time? Would he mention meeting me if he didn’t know he definitely will after lockdown?

    when we go on our first date, how long do I wait to hear back from him? What if I really like him and he has other dates lined up?

    You can’t predict your actions, or his.

    1. Yes, guys arrange dates with more than one woman. You should be doing that, too! when I was internet dating, I always had messages with like 5 guys at once. This stopped me from going ga-ga over any one man before I’d even met him just cos he’d been sweet through messages. He does not owe you exclusivity, nor you him, unless you’ve agreed to it. Which would be silly if you haven’t even met.

    2. He may have every intention of seeing you IRL. Doesn’t mean he will – I fully intended to meet every guy I stared talking to, but some of them eventually just didn’t look like we’d be compatible, and some quickly looked like pricks. it sounds like he really does want to see you, however it’s not impossible for a guy or gal to lose interest.

    3. Once a week isn’t a lot – I messaged guys daily or every couple of days until I could meet them (which might be up to a couple of weeks, given I work weekends sometimes) – maybe try talking a bit more often to see if you guys have a connection.

    4. He will probably want to meet up with you. After the date, he will either ask you at the end of the date if you’d like to meet up again, or he will message you. You’re free to message him yourself, too. I tend to let guys say what they feel first, but if I know that we’re not compatible, I’ll message them first to tell them I really enjoyed it but that we should keep it platonic – to avoid their embarrassment if they wanted more.

    It’s hard for you, because you’ve probably gotten a bit attached because it’s been 3 months. But take it easy, you don’t know if you’ll have chemistry IRL. And he may well have other dates lined up, you should too! Until you both agree to be boyfriend and girlfriend (exclusive, that is), there’s nothing to say you can’t date other people. I highly recommend it, in fact. Don’t try to rush into a relationship with somoene after like 1 date and ignore all the other options out there until you’ve gotten to know them a little bit, and really know you want to know them better. Too many girls insist on locking down after like 1 date (the shortest I’ve seen in my friends is after like 1 or 2 weeks, it never goes well) when they don’t know a guy. At first, you should be autidioning him to work out if he’s good enough to be your BF and if you’re compatible – not already assuming he’s the one because one date went well.

    Why don’t you also talk to some more guys, if you have the time? It sounds like you are putting a lot of hope on this guy before you even met him.

    Yes it is common for both men and women to be speaking to a few different people on dating apps such as Tinder etc. You haven’t met this guy yet so I wouldn’t get so invested this early on. At this point he has no obligation to you. You sound quite young and fairly new to dating?

    Let him initiate the first date. Do not chase him! There is nothing worse than a girl chasing a guy especially in the very early stages of a relationship. If you go on a date I’d wait two weeks max for him to organise a second. If not his interest is obviously relatively low. If he doesn’t text you etc after the first date DO NOT bombard him with calls and texts. Continue living your best life. If he initiates a second date great. If not move on. You’re entitled to speak with a few others as well until you’ve gone out with one guy exclusively a few times.

    I used to go on 2 dates because sometimes I couldn’t always tell on the first if they suited me. Sometimes I could tell by the first. I never went beyond a 2nd date if I didn’t think there was anything there. If I went on 3 or more dates with one specific guy I wasn’t seeing anyone else. Everyone has different ways though. That was just my way of figuring things out. Once you’ve been dating for a few months and he is showing the same level of interest and effort as you are you can absolutely start to initiate dates.

    No Dani, Newbie is right. You’re not posting for the first time on this forum – you have posted multiple times before. The suggestion that you have not posted here before is false and provactive.

    Newbie can’t even see the hidden information that an admin can see, and knew it was you anyway, because it’s the same rehashed subject. The whole purpose of this forum is for women with relationship issues to reach-out to a community and gain clarity from people with different life experiences and opinions. You’re not learning, and now by posting over and over you want us to be complicit in your shenanigans. We’re done with that.

    In one of your recent threads, I responded to you (here) explaining why this is not acceptable in this forum.

    I hope that, if you actually read any of the threads you posted (including this one), you find helpful advice. But this will be it – don’t post here anymore.
