Hey all,
Hope everyone’s doing well.
I met someone at a convention a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve been talking constantly since then. I’m trying to take things slowly because past relationships haven’t gone well, but I really vibe with this person.
I suggested grabbing a drink last week, but it didn’t work out due to medical reasons on their end. I have a flight coming up and would like to see them before I leave. I asked if they wanted to hang out on Friday or Monday. Friday would have been drinks and maybe a walk. Monday would be at my place, since I need to pack, but we could hang out, play games, watch anime, and I’d cover supper.
They chose Monday. I want to be clear—I offered my place for practical reasons and to share some time together, not because I expect anything sexual. We haven’t said “I love you,” and they don’t know I have feelings yet, so I thought this could just be bonding time.
Have I misstepped by inviting them over? How should I approach this visit—strictly platonic, casual first-date vibes, or something else? Any advice on keeping it comfortable while letting our connection grow would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
