I’ve got a question about dating that’s been on my mind. Why is it so hard to find a solid partner these days?:(
So recently I matched with a guy on a dating app. We texted a bit and he suggested we meet up right away. I figured, why waste weeks messaging if it might not click in person? We went for a walk around my neighborhood, talked for hours and honestly there was a spark.
Second date he invited me over for dinner, which felt too soon, so I told him that. He was totally fine with it and suggested another walk instead. We ended up in his area, stayed out until late just talking again. No intimacy yet, except some looks, but good vibes overall.
Last week he had family visiting, so we didn’t meet up, but he texted me every day with updates and pictures, which I liked. Now his family’s gone and I asked if we want to see ea h other again this week, to which he agreed. He suggested we meet in a couple of days after work (he’s a lawyer working in Court and has a big deadline). around 8pm. He was sorry that he couldn’t make it earlier due to his deadline. I just said that’s fine with me bc I don’t expect anything big and he told me about his deadline early on it’s nothing new and I know since his family stayed for the week, he couldn’t work on it. I just want to see him again and spend some time with him.
Here’s my thing: I don’t just want to be someone he casually fits in between work and life. I’d like us to actually do something and get to know each other more intentionally, not just walk around all the time.
He’s been consistent with sharing about his life, but he doesn’t ask much about me I usually share something aswell if he does and that keeps the convo going. Not sure if that says anything, or if I’m overthinking.
Was it a mistake to agree to another date this late? Or should I’ve said no and wait until his work is done? It’s due on the 8th of September btw. and I don’t want to wait until then. If he suggests to go on a walk again I will ask to go for a coffee instead or to the movies.
