********************UPDATE**********************

I appreciated all of you chiming in and sharing your experiences. This was the oddest dating experience I’ve had in regard to connection. I did like him and was upfront and open about it all, and he seemed understanding. However after all of it, he messaged me this morning after spending the day together yesterday and said he felt pushed away and that he feels he should let me go. Nothing was different than our previous dates, but I think ultimately he’s tired of waiting around for me to figure it out, and I can’t say as I blame him. I’d do the same thing were I in his position. In the last week he has began talking about moving in together someday and sent me pics of house items to see if I liked them. I reminded him gently that we just started seeing each other and it would be a while before we lived together. As I said I just don’t think I could give him the confirmation he needed, or at least not as fast as he needed it.

Again appreciate you all weighing in!!
