Dating : Am I overreacting – how do I manage disappointment?
For the past few weeks, I’ve been speaking with this guy online (met on tinder). We spoke constantly, everyday. I would say we get along extremely well, he’s always encouraging conversation if this is any indicator. He’s expressed attraction to me and so on. About two days ago he shared with me that he went on a date – I have absolutely no problem with this as I have gone on dates as well. However, I’m a bit disappointed as he never expressed a desire to actually meet with me. We live quite close to one another so I can’t say that could be the reason.
Honestly I never brought it up, however as he has always been the one pursuing me so I assumed he would at some point. So I’ve greatly reduced the amount of time I spend talking to him because I feel as though I am wasting my time. He has continued to try to talk but honestly I’m not feeling it anymore because it seems like it is going no where to me – no point in talking online all day with what seems to be no desire to meet – so I rarely respond.
Is this the wrong way to go? Should I hold out longer and see if he ever brings it up or just move on? Thanks.
Why don’t you ask him if he wants to meet?!?
