Guy (26) and I (f/24) have been chatting for around 2 months on bumble. I actually "knew" him off tinder a few months prior, we chatted daily for weeks, tried to get him out for a date but he was too busy and seemed too busy to chat as well, conversation waned until he just stopped replying.
I'm quite an anxious person when it comes to dating and rejection so I felt like I needed to unmatch him to get it out of my system.
Then we matched on Bumble surprisingly, I must have swiped him ages ago, and the same thing has happened again, only we have actually met up twice now. Both times nice, we slept together on the 2nd date which was very good but both dates were so stressful for me in the run up. He only confirmed around 2 hours before I was supposed to meet him. He is really bad at organising, he says, but to me it comes off extremely inconsiderate. Like it's a Friday night and you're telling me you "maybe" will meet me for a drink. Same thing has happened again, messaging constantly for weeks, and now replies are less and less frequent
Anyway over Christmas conversation dwindled until again, no messages. I messaged on NYE to which I've got no reply. insert I know he could be busy comment but I'm anxiously looking at his profile and I keep seeing that his location is updating all the time, which you have to go onto the app for it to do? I can't tell if he is just bullsh*tting me. He's said in person the last time we met he wanted to see me again but then why would he ignore my message after 3 days.
I just hate feeling like this, and like I've repeated my mistakes of getting lead on on a different platform. I want to unmatch to stop myself from checking his location because I know it's bad for my mental health but then I'm worried that I'll come across as a bitch or that it's all just an overreaction and I'll have cut communication entirely. We haven't exchanged numbers also, a bit off?
I'm just weighing up the pros and cons of cutting communication and don't know what to do. I like him when I'm with him which is why I'm so conflicted, but hate every other aspect about how communicating with him makes me feel.
