I think this will be too long but okay. I've recently discovered this sub and I love it even though I'm starting to hate men.
I'm 25 y.o. finishing my masters and I've been single for about two years now. I have been very satisfied with my love life so far although I have lately found it hard to find someone worth my time. I often meet guys and get asked out but we just don't match so I cut it off.
About two months ago I met through mutual friends a really nice guy during a group hangout. We talked for a while (nothing too romantic- just favorites, common interests, jokes etc). I really liked him and felt there was chemistry there, but didn't pursue anything further. He is close friends with a friend of mine and I saw traits in him that I liked that I discovered both from talking to him and from hearing what others said about him.
The next day, he added me on Facebook and we have been texting ever since. We've had both interesting and fun discussions and I've texted him first like once or twice? (ugh) I like talking to him and I like that there was rapport. He kept a healthy amount of texting without coming off too strong or being too aloof. He is focused and career driven and expressed his interest in me in a nice way. I find tiring though that even though he has mentioned a few times we should go out, asked me about places I like etc he hasn't set a date yet. I've agreed that I would like to go out with him as well so there's clarity on that, and no way in hell I am gonna nag him into setting an actual date. But as I said, just talking through messenger has gotten really tiring for me. I would just rather he outright rejects me even if it hurts than just keep chatting and never meeting face to face. I've gone out on other dates during these months and (allow me to exaggerate a bit) I have had a better time during a chat with him -tragic I know. As a result, when he texted me yesterday I started overthinking it, forgot to answer, then texted him back this morning and now he is not talking to me lol now that I think about it he may ghost me so there's no point in writing this...oooops.
From what I know through him and our common friends, he broke off a very serious relationship about six months ago and he has not dating or pursuing anyone else since (unless it's all lies, you never know).
I don't know how to handle this because what I reaaaally wanna do is be sentimental and confront him and be like YOOOO WTF ?! or block him, which both make me look like a psycho BUT I also kinda don't wanna cut ties?! He's just not that into me? Hell I don't know.
To those who actually read it, I'm sorry for the rant my dears. PEACE!
