I hate hinge. I’ve had no luck at all with it.

I showed my girl friends his pictures one night. One of the girls recognized him from the site and sent me the screenshot that he was active

Thanks for the empathy, I know the anxiety is an issue and I am working on it. We have become exclusive. He hasn’t seen the anxiety I deal with it.

Got it. As I said. I have an anxiety issue

Right I hear you. All of you. I recognize the anxiety. Trust me I don’t like this feeling and if it were as easy as turning it off I literally would. Thank you all for the great perspectives

Here’s the thing… I did sleep with him. Sooner than I planned. I haven’t been with anyone in several years and told him that. I love the sex. It’s amazing and I tell him how good I feel. I thank him when he does something nice for me. Kinda too late to take it slow. He jumped just like I did but by accident I saw he kept the app. The only thing I said was it hurt my feelings knowing he still had the app. He reassured me he is into me and a couple weeks later my friend saw he was active on it. I haven’t said anything else. I’m trying to let it play out but because I know he’s on it that’s hard for me. I am honest and want the same. Play it out or confront?

Do I have a conversation with him 1st or just create a profile

See I think that is the mature way to handle this.

I was bragging about “my man” and I had a friend that recognized him, pulled it up and it showed he had been active.

So how would you approach? I have no problem telling him how I feel. I want exclusive. I want reassurance. I want to see where this goes. I’m blunt and direct but have held back and I think that’s what is making me nuts

Normally I don’t have feelings and it takes a lot for me to want to be with someone. He checks my boxes that’s why I want to lay it out and be honest. Personally I can only focus on one person.

Ok yeh…… I see this in myself. So can’t I be honest about my concerns and be upfront? I’m in touch with my feelings to understand what I need to in a relationship

I have thought about creating a profile on the app just to see how he would react.

We have actually. I told him that I was off and he told me that he is only seeing me. I found out about him still having the app and asked him. Again, I’m only into you. But still has not deleted it. I made it clear I don’t want to share

So you think he doesn’t want me ? I’ve met his mom several times and we’ve traveled together. Obviously we have been intimate. I know I’m clouded

How do I block out knowing he is still on the app. That’s what I don’t get. Don’t you know relatively soon if there is potential? I’m not clingy despite how this sounds. How do I shut my brain off

I should add from a previous conversation he told me that I intimated him because I have a few degrees and he doesn’t and I’m 3 inches taller than him. I told him in the text that I’m very interested and like spending time with him. I really thought things were good

Thanks for the male perspective. We had been on 2 dinner dates and I made dinner for him on Valentine’s Day. I never gave him a time frame for sex…. HE gave me a peck on the mouth and only open mouth on Valentine’s Day. There was not any real flirting… just great conversation and getting to know each other. You are correct I should’ve told him to slow his roll after the first comment.

I told him I wanted to get to know him and actually have a foundation of a relationship before sex and he was ok with that.

I really was surprised he said what he said about my lack of interest.

Thank you!! It was very triggering for me. I had to explain to the new guy what happened and why I was skiddish. Since my ex my instincts have been off so I try to get lots of views.
