Matched with someone on Hinge who listed “long-term relationship” and we talked consistently for about a month before finally meeting.
The date itself genuinely went well — good conversation, respectful, chemistry seemed solid. But at the end of the night he mentioned he was actually only looking for something casual/FWB.
I was mostly confused because his profile said otherwise and our conversations didn’t feel casual at all.
For people who’ve experienced this before:
Do you think some people use “long-term” more loosely just to keep options open until meeting in person?
