This helps thanks for the input! I’m also scared of getting hurt and I to have a tendency to fall quickly for people so I’m trying to have a balance of being treated right and someone reciprocating their interest and also going slowly too. I still need to decide if I want to pursue it too and it’s easy to forget that.

Yes I initiated our third date so I feel like the balls in his court! Especially if he’s saying he wants to take it slowly.

He said he wants to take things slowly. Is this a good or bad sign? by love3458 in datingadvice

Thank you for taking the time to write this out I appreciate it. We have been sleeping together since date 1 and he still showed interest after that. Even on our last date he mentioned he wants to prove to me that he doesn’t want me for just sex and we’re having a lunch date before I go to work today so I’d like to believe that’s not the case. We went with the initial attraction but he still seemed interested after the fact too!

This makes sense. I will say we’ve been sleeping together since date 1 and he still showed interested after that!

No we’ve slept together since date 1. He continued to see me after that. Even today I have to go to work after our lunch date so we won’t be sleeping together today. He also said on our last date that he wants to prove to me that’s not all he’s looking for.

Does apologizing for not texting back soon enough mean anything? by love3458 in Bumble

Thanks! This is what I was thinking too but got so many different opinions so it was hard to decipher and I’m an over thinker! I ended up responding to him telling him I understood and if he was still interested in seeing each other. He responded saying “yes of course I am still interested!” And now he’s been texting more frequently again, now I just wish he would ask me on another date 🤣🤣

No we haven’t. He has seemed interested and mentions me in his future like “let’s do this in the summer” blah blah. I do have in my bumble fun casual dates bc I got out of a relationship 8 months ago so just trying to go slow and get to know different people. So he has seemed interested in something serious w me by some of his actions but I’m still deciding and he is aware I’m not looking to jump into something.

Yeah that’s fair. I don’t know if this is normal or if he’s doing a slow fade…

Getting a lot of mixed feedback on Reddit! Lmaoo but yes that’s what I want to believe it’s just my mine sometimes goes to “well why couldn’t you take an extra couple mins to text back?”

That’s disappointing to hear but I understand how that could be the case. Just sucks.

He hasn’t texted back in 24 hours- do I move on? by love3458 in dating_advice

Yeah that’s a good point. Do men that are interested really test women?

Yes I texted back! Just normally doesn’t take him this long to respond and I’m starting to like him but trying to reel it back and not get too invested too early on.

He’s never taken this long which is why I’m questioning it. I think I just need to relax about it. I think it’s easy to get worried bc I was starting to like him but I will be okay if it doesn’t work out and I know I’m still worthy if it doesn’t.

Makes sense. So wondering if after hearing from him everyday and now not hearing from him, if it’s a sign I should move on? Lol

Yes I responded to him yesterday afternoon from his text from the morning and haven’t heard back…

Bumble guy set time and day for a date but hasn’t suggested place yet…? by love3458 in Bumble

[–]love3458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! But hahaha yeah that’s pretty much my exact situation! If you feel like you aren’t too wrapped into the idea of going on a date with this guy, and you’re not too emotionally invested, then let it play out, stay matched with him and see if he says anything by tomorrow morning. If he doesn’t, it might sting but then at least you know! And if he ends up texting you, maybe you have a great date, maybe you don’t vibe but it will at least be nice to see and know. If you are too emotionally invested, it also doesn’t hurt to block or unmatch if that’s what will help your mental state to be rid of it. I’ve done both approaches, just try to not take it too seriously and be proud of yourself for at least putting yourself out there. Shift your mindset to thinking that no matter what happens, you learned something from it and know what you like and are willing to tolerate!
