(18F) First of all, I’ve never been in a relationship, I’ve never had a talking stage until now. This is all new to me, I have no clue.
Some context: we matched on tinder a bit over a month ago, things were great. After a while we moved to instagram. He was genuine, sending multiple texts a day, liking/hearting majority of my messages. We plan to meet up next month.
Things to note- we don’t message constantly and instantly (that’s what I like about it) and we don’t really wish each other goodnight/morning, so our messages are basically one long conversation.
I noticed that 4-5 days ago things dropped off to 2 messages a day, but it didn’t bother me. In the last couple days it’s gone down to 1, and he didn’t heart my messages as per usual. He hasn’t messaged today, but I do know he would be at work.
He doesn’t strike me as the type of guy to ghost someone, or gradually stop talking, lose interest without saying why. But what’s confusing me is that his replies haven’t really dropped off in effort- he’s asking questions still.
One more thing I’ll mention. I very recently went on a trip with my best friend (18M). He’s gay and has a partner, but isn’t “obviously gay”. I posted stuff on my socials, so he would’ve seen my friend (he doesn’t know that my friend is gay). Could he be jealous?
Sorry for the long post, I’m just confused haha.
