Hi so I’ve recently decided to hop on some dating apps, been talking to a few guys but one of particular has really got my attention. We’ve been talking for about two weeks, get on really well conversation really flows but he can be a bit inconsistent - and I can’t help but be that girl who checks when someone is active on social media, so I’ve seen that he’s ignores me sometimes when he’s clearly not too busy to reply - not a major problem just a bit annoying :/. Anyways we were talking quite consistently this week and he asked me when I was next in town (I’m inbetween cities atm), saying he’d like to see me - I said I that I’d be there this weekend but was unsure so I’d let him know.. So turns out I am in town this weekend so I messaged him to let him know and he’s ignored my message for two days now. I was very prepared to get over it and move on to the next but he’s still been interacting with me on Instagram (he liked my story lol - a selfie). So it thought this was my way back in but surprise surprise he’s no replied. What I need to know basically is does this seem like he’s now uninterested? And would it come off weird if I were to double text him? I’m just so confused because it seemed like we were hitting it off (which is a rarity over text in my experience) and I’m now questioning everything about myself. And if you think it wouldn’t be weird to text again, what do I even say? Pls and thanks help a girl out x
I really don't understand why anyone gets so involved in anonymous conversations with strangers. I know it's compelling, but when it gets to the point where your checking their info-grams, or other social media to see if they are too busy or not busy, that's just such a burden on your self-confidence. You're not the only person to gets snared into faux-relashionships or relashionships with people on-line. I wish you good luck with these systems, but maybe it would a great idea to join some clubs (maybe a political group, or pet group, or anything that interests you) and actually meet people in person. I suppose that's an antiquanted notion, but actually meeting and working with other people (hobbies or work) widens your interests and expands your opportunities.
@glitterbag,
I concur. The thing too is that it should just happen naturally and if it doesn't, it's not the right thing for you. Why should you have to check all the other social media to see if he's online and just ignoring you? Drop him and meet someone in person, as GB suggested.
@Ninamina2000,
I am in agreement with glitter and mame, try to meet someone "live" instead of a dating app. I know it's the preferred method nowadays, my daughter has been the recipient of it too, it's such agony. So many of these people - both men and women - string along these poor souls and make it a game how long they can keep their attention. They will like your posts or text you just to string you along for a while longer and they never have any inclination to get into a decent relationship.
My daughter got burned out fast on these games and met her match the conventional way.
