    I met this guy on bumble in mid December and we really hit it off. Within that first week we went on 4 dates and slept together on the 3rd(it felt right at the moment). Then we both had to travel to visit our families over the holidays and were texting/snapping constantly during our entire trip. He wished me a merry Christmas but I was upset that when the clock struck 12 for NY he didn’t wish me a happy new year.

    Well after we came back from the holidays we hung out again every week and I met his friends who even made dinner for us. He also invited me out to meet his coworkers and boss and he was very affectionate and touchy with me in front of them which made me think maybe he was getting serious about me. They even told me they heard a lot about me and they liked me and told him to keep me around cuz they loved me. Well after they left we had dinner and went back to his. He got a little jealous because I was teaching him some words in a different language and he assumed that another guy had taught me that and got a little upset. (He was right, my ex was from that country but we never had the ex talk).

    We went back to his, slept together again and then he got upset because my sister called and said she was picking me up. He begged me to stay but I told him I couldn’t since she was already on his way and that was that. Also, every time I see him he gives me a big hickey on my neck even though I always tell him not to. I finally asked him if he did that to mark his territory and he was like “is it working?” Which I thought was a weird response.

    Well after we hung out one more time (7 date) but it was just a sleepover on thurs night since I promised I would due to leaving abruptly the last time I had seen him. When I got to his place he was on a work call so left a key under the mat for me. We went out for dinner, then came back and watched a game on tv with his friends. We slept together and the next morning he told me to sleep in and I could stay as long as I needed and gave me an affectionate kiss goodbye. I stayed for a little more then I decided to be nice and made his bed before I left. He sent me a snap and then I texted asking how to turn his lamp off and then when I drove by the bar we first met I texted him that and no reply. Ever since then he’s only been sending me messages and pictures on Snapchat but no texts, which I guess I was fine with since at least he was still communicating.

    He would send me messages everyday asking how my classes were going and said he was so busy and stressed since both his roommates moved out and he had to find people fast. He also said work has been stressful since he’s been working over time. This is where I got upset, his birthday and Valentine’s Day came along and not a peep or text from him. He also updated his pictures on bumble. He replied To my story on Instagram on his bday where I was at a game and saying he was supposed to go and it looked like fun! I ignored it and didnt reply and then I stopped opening his messages on Snapchat.

    I was very upset at him and know this was immature but on vday i posted a pic on my story of a bear and Valentine’s basket and flowers to make it seem like some other guy had given it to me. He watched my story on both IG and Snapchat and from there he stopped trying to communicate with me until last thurs he messaged me and asked how my classes were going and if I liked what I’m learning. Then out of no where he sent me this big apology saying “sorry for being radio silent on my end btw, I’ve just been all over the place with finding a roommate and work had been hard, just been really hard on myself lately”. So then I replied saying it was nbd because I was also busy with classes and work and seemed like he liked having online pen pals but hope he’s doing well. To which he replied “I’m doing okay right now lol. Lmk if you are in the area ever!” Which I read and didn’t respond to.

    It’s been a month since I’ve seen him and I’m hurt by all these games but I do still like him a lot. Idk if I should just let it go and move on or give it another chance. Although I’m kinda upset he told me to let him know when I’m in the area instead of just asking me out on a real date. Should I go out with him again or should I just let it go?

    Haha I didn’t realize how many times I used the word “upset” in this post! I guess that’s saying something… thanks for that raven!

    I guess I just feel some attachment to this guy since he’s the only guy I’ve slept with besides my ex and the only one I’ve been seeing since my breakup in October. I also don’t know if I’m being irrational or too harsh on him or if I have a right to be, since he did apologize after all…

    It’s over. He’s pushed you into the ‘friends with benefits ‘ category. U may hear from him again, but it will only be to catch up (hook up). I mean come on, when your guy doesn’t acknowledge Valentines Day, there’s the first clue. Sorry Demi, but u can do better.

    Thanks for your honest advice Betty. I did start feeling that he was just trying to use me as his FWB especially when he didn’t even tell me his birthday was coming up and didn’t acknowledge or try to plan anything for Valentine’s Day.

    There was also this one night where he was out with his friend visiting and he texted me at 11pm asking me to come hang out with him to which I replied “I’m not a booty call” and he said “I know you’re not lol just wanted to see you” and I replied “well you can ask me out earlier next time”. Which the next day he did ask me early which is when he introduced me to his coworkers.

    Ugh I really hate this guy now and wish I would’ve never started seeing anyone after my breakup. Just made everything worse
