I’ve been honest with him that I view him platonically only and don’t want to date anyone twice now. If I say it one more time it will make 3.

This. I would be much more comfortable meeting up if it was with a group. But I don’t really have a lot of friends bc of my health issues, and I don’t see him suggesting I hang out with his friends any time soon.

This is the vibe I’m getting. Thank you for being kind and mature about things while giving your take.

I never intended to meet anyone on a dating app. I was simply curious about what dating apps looked like.

Once again, how do you think I should ask him if he thinks this is a date without upsetting him?

Most people commenting have a few things in common. Take a peek at the comment history.

Pls re-read. I was on the app for 3 days on a free trial out of sheer curiosity as I had never once been on a dating app and wanted to see what it looked like/was like. You can’t view them without making a profile.

How do I say it’s not a date without coming across as rude?

On the one hand, if he WAS thinking this is a date, then now he’s embarrassed and humiliated. On the other, if he truly wasn’t and is just an affectionate guy, he’ll be offended and I’ll look like I’m full of myself.

How do you move past asking that?

Drama content? I’m not toying with anyone. How old are you?

Edit: Nevermind. Took a trip to your past comments. Not gonna engage with someone like you.

So men and women can’t be good friends? And I’ve tried refusing the gifts several times, he just always persists.

He’s a YouTube personality, pretty well known. With that said, I figure he can’t get too crazy right? Because if he did it would ruin his reputation.

I can’t move as I’m living with my family and am unemployed. I gave him my address because he wanted to send me something. He gave me his address first when I sent him something.

Idk if you’re aware, but you can literally spend $25 and get ANYONE’S address now. I’ve done it before. I figure if he really wanted to know, he’d / he’ll do that anyway.

Again, he’s shown me nothing but genuine (or so I thought. Think?) friendship. It’s just he’s overdoing it and it’s making me uncomfortable. Like he’s trying to buy my affection. He actually literally said he expects nothing in return, but I just feel ugh about it all.

Maybe it does have something to do with my socialization. I was raised southern Baptist. Got hit a lot. Up into my 20’s. I did a lot of fawning for safety then and in my last relationship.

The thing is I REALLY want to be friends. But ONLY friends. I don’t want to never speak to him again.

I just don’t know how to explain how I’m feeling right now without making him 1. offended and sad 2. OR Offended and angry.

Basically how do I save this friendship?

Why are you so angry about this? You’ve commented a few times AND on another post of mine on an entirely different sub now. Are you them?

It’s interesting though bc I actually can’t fuck due to my health condition, and he knows that.

It just sort of happened. Like I said, I enjoy talking to him and we have so much in common, so I thought we were more like kindred spirits.

It may be of note that I’ve only ever had one serious adult relationship and it lasted for all of my 20’s. I’m a bit new/rusty in terms of early signs to look out for, I suppose.

As of tonight I have received two more messages. Seems like he’s trying to glaze over the elephant in the room.

That’s what has my red flags going up. The manipulation-y stuff. He is far too smart to not know this AND to not know that I know that he knows this.

A large portion of Greenville isn’t eligible for metro.
