Hi!
I have recently experienced a bad break-up and after some grieving friends convinced me to join Tinder to get my mind of things.
Within the first day of tindering, I had a date set up with a nice and funny guy. The first date went great and ended with a Gn8-Kiss. After that he texted me saying he had a great time. He arranged a second date and we again had great fun together. He drove me home and we made out in his car a bit (nothing too sexual), because he said he wanted to keep the “fine things” for another time. I had to to leave the city for a couple of days afterwards and he was quite sad about that.
Yesterday I messaged him that I’m back in town and if he had any plans for the weekend- but he didn’t respond to that.
I’m not really pursuing a relationship but it’s still kind of weird that he doesn’t get back to me after being so interested.
What do you think – should I be very straight and just ask him out or wait for him to come to me?AmandaI know it seems weird but this happens all the time. For whatever reason he changed his mind. Move on just like him :)
redcurleysueYou already initiated. Let him step forward now.
And if he does not then who cares?
LaneHere’s the unvarnished truth…he’s SINGLE and dating others! Until a man puts his best foot forward and takes you off the market, you continue to maintain your single woman status by living your life and dating other guys.
Honestly you really shouldn’t be dating right now if you jut got out of a recent break up. Take some time and focus on yourself for awhile by learning how to be single and how to have fun. You are in ‘rebound’ territory and I don’t think its right or fair to expect men to spend their money and time with someone who’s not emotionally ready. Where’s the fire?
JenIt was only two dates! Let the man lead. You are already acting gf like by letting him know you are back and asking his plans. That turns men off.
Let him pursue you, if he really wants to.
And he wasn’t ‘sad’ you went away. Lol… don’t fall for lame words.
Unless the man’s words and actions match, words are just a way to keep you interested and available as an option.
JarcomDid you keep contact while you were away?
JenIt’s it good to over text IMO.
This was two dates and a few days away. The guy, if he is interested, will pick up and pursue.
No mystery here. He is meeting others on tinder, dating her, and so goes life.
Men won’t settle for one woman unless you knock his socks off, period. And so the biggest mistake women make is to pick the man BEFORE he picks you.
See what happens, but take no action.
AprilHello. Relax! I know sometimes we cannot really stop waiting for a text from a person we like but carry on with your daily activities. Remember, if a man is really interested to date you again he will straight up let you know and invite you. Just continue seeing other people! :)
MarkDate other people – you seem obsessed by this one person and its creepy
AnnaWow Mark, she doesn’t sound obsessed and there’s nothing creepy about this.
She had two great dates and is surprised he hasn’t reached out and wondering if she should ask him out. That’s not obsessive or creepy, it’s getting used to the ordinary disappointments of dating and reaching out to others for a bit of advice.
Lila, I’d move on and next time let him lead. No matter how promising things seem, you never know how things are for sure from his perspective, and as others noted he’s probably dating around. Maybe he really liked you then met someone else who knocked his socks off. There’s no way to know and it just doesn’t matter.
It’s very hard, but don’t get invested so early on.
NewbieLilanux, dont worry. Youre not acting like a gf and youre not obsessed or creepy. You just let the guy know you were back in town. You asked a question about dating and yes, there is only so much you can do thats in your control and that is: pick the guy that is constant in asking you out. Read the articles here from Eric. They are great and very helpful. But dont ask questions om this forum. Its incredible hostile because pf a few regular posters and they wont help build up confidence in dating. Its a pity but it is , what it is.
DanitaRelax, maybe he will respond at some moment, maybe he has something going on right now!
And I think that Newbie gave you great advice. Don’t take things written here too seriously, because you will only get more anxious.
aliaIf he himself said he wanted to “keep the fine things for another time”, I’d say that was a way of him saying, he is not interested. No man, who’s really interested and available would say something like that. He is either attached or not interested. Lots of men on Tinder are in relationships and are cheating. That is a fact. Any guy you meet on tinder is not real unless you’ve gone on numerous dates with, and developed trust. No man is real until he has made a serious effort to show you he wants to be your boyfriend.
RavenMark may be bitter,
But it’s only been 2 dates…You are seeing other guys?
SylviaI talked to my childhood friend for 2 months now, he asked me to hangout with him last Sunday. We went out to dinner and talked about what’s new with us. So after that night he drove me home. He asked how the night was? I said it was great I had a good time, I asked him if he enjoyed himself which he said he did as well. So then he messaged me and we talked a bit I asked him if that was a date or a hangout?. He says what do you think?. I said I thought it was a date. He replies an says well we should go to the movies on our second date.? I said yes I’m up for that!. So when that day came up we got there an watched the movie, he was poking me and I guess it was his way of a move?. So I decided to kiss him and it got a little heated.. so then he asked what I was doing on Sunday?. I said I’m available. So he drove me home that night an we kissed. Then the other day he messages me, I asked again what did you think of last night? He says he enjoyed it but we didn’t really watch the full movie. I apologized too him and said we should of waited till the movie wasn’t done.. he agreed and forgave me. So I told him that did I ruin everything? Like we can’t hngout anymore?. He said that doesn’t mean we can’t srill hangout. So I said okay well I can’t hangout today because I have my brothers party, so I said to him that if he can hangout this weekend. So then he said yeah I’ll let you know. So I sorta wrote again asking if he thinks I am attracted to him if that’s why he’s backing up abit an that I like to hangout again he seen it but hasn’t wrote back, which was yesterday.
KhadijaSylvia I suggest starting a new post, you’ll get more responses that way.
UmmOmg. I am going to guess you are around 16 years old. You apologized for kissing him at the movie because he didn’t see the whole movie and he’s forgave you? WTH? Then you keep asking if he likes you? And if things you are attracted? Please tell me you are really young and inexperienced. This sounds really juvenile so it’s hard to give a real response.
