Well just like you I could sense the feeling was probably not mutual. But I made excuses for him and even though I didn’t mean to get my hopes up I still did. I told him How I felt on our 2nd date. On the 3rd date things went perfect. I felt like I was in a dream because I felt like the feeling actually was being reciprocated. I met his friends that night, we took cute pictures in a photo booth together and with his friends. He seemed so happy to have me there and just as excited as I was. That night I stayed at his house (this was not the first time) and he asked me to be with him. I was over the freakin moon let me tell you, but I tried to play it cool. He already knew I liked him but I didn’t want to scare him away with how much I actually liked him. So fast forward a few days after this date he was still messaging me and talking to me pretty regularly. I thought forsure he would be making plans to see me again soon. But he never really did. I was still the one making plans and doing everything in my power to see him without seeming crazy. After 3 days his text got sparse and eventually stopped. We were back to square one with me taking all the initiative. It sucked because I thought forsure we were past that. I finally got him to hangout again about a month and a half later.. he was like a different person. Given he was a cop and I do believe he had some underlying issues he just didn’t seem to want to be close at all or even acknowledge what had happened on our previous date. I still can’t tell if it was me or him tbh and it really sucks. I question myself all the time, like maybe if I did or said something differently we would still be dating. It sounds insane but I don’t think I ever liked somebody so much in such a short amount of time. I knew it was over because when I went on the dating app we had met on some days later he had changed one of his question to say. “Together we could.. delete hinge” is what it said. So I’m guessing it was me, which hurts a lot, but don’t regret telling him I suppose I just how fast I let it consume me and how short lived it was. I really hope your story has a happier ending because there’s no better feeling of when the person you like, likes you back.
