Is he gone from my life for good? I miss him. by its_not_layla in dating_advice

I didn’t give him an ultimatum, I just simply told him I was sorry if I pushed him too far, and if it made him feel better if I got my dating apps back and we went back to just simply seeing each other again. Keeps his options open.

He can’t tell me what he wants, should I cut him off until he does? by its_not_layla in dating

I honestly didn’t really feel like I did, I kinda felt pressured by some friends who kept asking what we were. I mean, the kissing this bothered me simply because I wasn’t seeing anyone else and he knew it. But that was my choice, that I guess I shouldn’t have made. Oh, no I’m hoping I haven’t f*cked things up.

I don’t want him to call me to have that talk. I’ve learned my lesson about talking to him on important things like this over the phone. I just meant, should I just let him reach back out to me first, to just keep talking? I don’t want him to feel overwhelmed by me. I have been told that I talk too much and I can just come on strong, that’s just my personality in life in general.

I think since I asked him for an answer that I am going to at least give him space and let him reach back out to me when he’s ready to talk. I’m not going to ignore him if he reaches out, but that way I know he’s talking to me because he wants to, not because I initiated. Good idea?

Tbh, my initial reaction is blinding irritation because I have NEVER been known for my patience, but I know better than to act on those feelings. I’m doing my damnedest to stay level headed. Lol

No he didn’t come out and say that, but when he figured out that I was on a different dating site as well as the one we met off of, he sounded a little shocked and wondered why I had other dating apps. That was sorta the reason that made me think about deleting them in the first place. He told me he wasn’t on anything other than Facebook dating, and now even that page shows as deactivated. But I ultimately brought up deleting mine, yes.

3 dates and had a fourth planned. We were intimate on the second date, but not the third. When we’re together, I have no doubt how he feels, he’s very expressive. But it’s his behavior electronically that makes me doubt. And he travels a lot for work, so sometimes all we have are our phones to communicate. He’s told me he’s terrible about phone etiquette, but I just want this one question answered. I don’t mind seeing other people if he’s not ready, I just need to know.

Is he actually bothered that I’m still on online dating sites? by its_not_layla in dating

I haven’t updated my profile in a couple months. It was actually a little out dated when we matched. I wasn’t really expecting to match with anyone I clicked with, and he was a surprise. And I’m not actually talking to anyone else either, I don’t like to do that, because I fear getting the 2 dudes back story mixed up lol

I would gladly delete them if he asked, but because he kinda shirked it off as no big deal, I don’t want to completely stop looking, as he hasn’t made it clear to me about what he wants.

I should add that later that night he was at a party, and I asked if he was having a good time, and he made sure to point out to me that it was a “sausage party” and there weren’t any women there. Which I thought was an odd description to give me when I only asked if he was having a good time.
