I (25F) started talking to 29M on hinge (now text) a week ago. A few texts a day and the aim was for a coffee date early this week. 4 days ago he stopped replying. Yesterday I got a text saying he hadn’t forgotten about me, he was just busy and he would reply soon.
The radio silence is neither here not there, I can also ghost as I have a crazy job and do shift work. For me the issue is, the times I have said I would be available for the date have come and gone normally I’m a text today, date tomorrow person. And tbh I feel put on ice and I don’t like it at all
I was ready to block and unmatch days ago. But I have had a bad year with dating, and being black in a majority white area is proving difficult on the apps. My girlfriends say that I need to give him a chance because he matches everything I’m looking for career, attractive, values, age etc… and he was pretty passionate in the replies at first and planned the date himself. Am I being too strict? I rarely date so this is all weird to me.
