Dina
So I met this guy on bumble at a different city than mine. We texted a bit and he said he is cool with long distance and will work on moving to the same city eventually or plan to visit often. Also, I go to his city almost every month for work. I was skeptical about long distance though but he assured me that he will make it work. We went to 2 great dates, tbh on the first date I wasn’t really convinced I liked him or attracted to his personality and noticed a red flag (he was looking around checking out another girl) but he was persistent to take me to this another cool spot and we ended up hitting it off. He said I was a catch and he really really likes me. When I went back to my city he was consistent with communication texting etc and we would facetime every weekend for 1-2 hours, I was taking it slow and was fine with it as did not want to rush into things plus we both were looking for marriage however I was always anxious for some reason feeling something was missing maybe because communication should grow with time. He was a little upset though when I told him that I am divorced saying that I should have told him earlier but he was fine with it. He asked me all about my life, childhood, dreams, if I wanna have kids … things I have never shared with anyone else while dating. I go to his city again and he planned some great dates and saw me 3 days in a row even with his friend visiting him. During of these days, I invite him to my hotel room as I wasn’t comfortable kissing him in public so we just kissed and made out .. he wanted to do more things but I stopped him because thats my boundary. He asked me when I will be okay doing these things 3 months or 1 year and if we will progress physically when we meet next (which is a weird question to me) and I said NO because it was sucha weird thing to answer. I stated my boundary though and made it clear that I do not want to have sex till I am in a committed relationship.He also told me that he is not talking to anyone else. He met up with my friend too who is a local. He talked about meeting up again and this time he will be flying out to my city or we meeting up at a common/mid way location. But after I flew back home I could sense some shift in his behavior also we both got busy with my friends visiting me and he with work however he would still reach out consistently but with less interest.. when I confronted him about his plans to visit me he said he is working on it and then after a week or two his communication started fading and he literally ghosted me. I wanted answers because I spend 3 months talking to him (he shared all about his life, his work, his family, friends, girl best friend – which was a red flag to me tbh but he shared every single detail about his life) and meeting him 5 times, so reached out and we got on a call. He said long distance is not going to work out for him and he wants to see me every week which I know is a bulls**t because he always knew about it and assured me about cutting short the distance at the beginning. I initially didn’t even like the guy and thought wasn’t a good match for me but he was so persistent and with all those intimate talks I started liking him. Its been 1 month now since we stopped talking and I still think about him and stalk him. I feel confused and betrayed and I don’t know how to get past it. Any insights into the situation and what could have happened for him to lose interest would be appreciated… I just wanna get over this situation but I don’t know why its so hard.. I can’t even date anymore also dating in my city is really hard hence the long distance swipping ..I am just disappointed and feel like I am not good enough for anyone to ever like me even if I compromise with my standards … I am just lost and jaded.. please help
RavenSorry Hun, He was only after sex.
Imagine how you’d feel if you had sex with him & then he pulled the “long distance is not going to work out for him and he wants to see me every week” Bullsh!t…
You dodged a bullet.
EwaAgree with Raven, he was only after sex and he pretty much didn’t make any effort to see you, you were the one flying to him.
MaddieThis has nothing to do with you and definitely has no reflection on your value or you not being good enough! He liked the fantasy of distance plus you always having sexy vacations to visit each other. That has nothing to do with actually wanting a real relationship, no matter what he said, but it can take time to determine someone’s intentions. Good on you for sticking to your boundaries because you learned as soon as you said “not yet” to sex, he bailed. Good, always let the trash take itself out. Don’t blame yourself, this is the point of dating and finding out if the other person is a good match. He wasn’t, so block him and stop stalking him.
TallspicyA couple of things:
A. You are grossly over invested in someone who was not real because you were not exclusive
B. Many people think they can do long distance, try it and then bow out. AMD men do not bond by text and phone, but women do.
C. I dont think it is fair to slap him with he only wanted sex. Men dont mind not having sex, but do want to know it will happen at some point.
You both got ahead of yourselves. This is on both of you.
KayaIt’s totally fair to slap him with all he wanted was sex. Asking if they will progress physically the next time they meet and then backing off and breaking it off when she was clear she wasn’t comfortable with that along with pushing a time frame was too much. Good thing he showed his hand so quickly.
Ewalet’s be clear , there is nothing wrong with only wanting sex, but what is wrong is not making yourself clear that you only looking for a bit of fun.
KayaSame thing.
AnonThe only thing to help you down the line is probably more in person intimate conversations rather than texting or phone. You mentioned how well you knew him, but you really didn’t know him after all. Agree with others, he showed you who he really is and you didn’t waste any more time. Consider yourself lucky- many people waste years of their lives ignoring some warning at the beginning of the “relationship”- you didn’t.
