Dating : (F18) Tinder match blocks me out of nowhere. Could someone tell me a possible reason as to why he did?
I was talking to a guy for a couple weeks and it seemed to be going fine.
In the beginning, he was skeptical of me being a catfish so he made me send a live selfie. I didn’t have a problem with that since he said he had been catfished before.
The biggest highlight of our conversations was when he straight up said that he wanted to get to know me since we had similar hobbies. Never mentioned sex, hookups, or anything of that nature.
We didn’t go a day without snapping each other and he always seemed to know what to say next after me messaging him.
However, I’m on the autistic spectrum which can make me a bit awkward when trying to carry a conversation with a potential date. I didn’t want him to tell him that and had hoped to wing it instead. There were times in which I could tell he was weirded out by the way I talked. It made me anxious, which made me randomly apologize to him for being “bothersome.” He said “no not at all” which got my hopes back up.
I thought what I had been doing was working, since he expressed how keen he was to meet up for tacos in order to get to know me further.
On a separate occasion, someone at work commented that I look younger than I am so I thought it was funny. Being the genius I am, I had the brilliant idea to make that a subject of a conversation with my Tinder match. Yeah, not so smart.
On the day after, we had our usual conversations about our hobbies/what we did that day. Then the day after that, it happened. He had suddenly vanished from my snapchat list of friends and his username was no longer searchable.
I was very upset, as I jumped to the conclusion of him rejecting me out of fear of seeing me as an embarrassment. Perhaps he also could have been suspicious of me being underage.
I feel like the world’s biggest noob at dating so I’ll appreciate anyone who’s more experienced who can clear this up for me.
Sorry this happened. But don’t get emotionally attached to anyone you haven’t met in person yet and who has shown consistent behavior in person for a couple of months. He could be married or have a gf for all you know.
Might’ve ended up dating someone else off a dating app or in real life. Unfortunately you’ll likely not know for awhile
Dogmoma has it right. It could have been something totally unrelated to you (like getting back with an ex). I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you.
I know a lot of guys use tinder while in relationships, his partner may of caught on and he could have deleted for that reason?
Probably not related to you. It happens. People don’t care much about people they have never met irl. That’s the downside of dating apps, very minimal investment and commitment initially.
It could also be he realized you guys are probably not a good match. In which case it is good for both of you, he was just rude about it.
You honestly, probably scared him with that age talk. And I don’t blame him for jumping ship. No one is trying to catch a case from tinder and have their life ruined.
