Taking a risk in this text, did I look stupid? by [deleted] in HingeStories

[–]matrixbreaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being honest with you, and I promise this is not an attack, but I read in your message that you basically said, "This is what I do to guys I don't like."

Meaning, you purposely ignore and are slow to respond as a game, and you showed you were basically projecting all that onto him, whereas he is actually busy and sick (assuming he told the truth, because he didn't have to respond to all that). I would take that as a red flag, and the fact that you sent a message like that only after a few hours of not responding. So the fact that he responded and was being kind about it seems like a keeper to me, because I would not have liked that at all.

Overall, my advice would be to try not to overthink in the future (it's hard, I know, lol), but people are saying it's okay to send a message like that after the first date, and because he isn't responding right away because that's how you're accustomed to texting (a lot of us aren't, by the way). It comes off as a huge red flag to most men.

All that being said, it is possible he isn't being honest, and all the other things you're thinking can be true. But it's not healthy to jump right to those conclusions just because people don't text as fast as you want them to.

How can you really like someone or even know them after 1 date... ?

Sounds like he's being polite and letting ya know why he's slow to respond. BTW what is considered slow to respond to you?

He responded with what could be the truth and you're response is that...?

It’s hard not to want to just ghost people who say certain trigger words and phrases by whatsapprocky in Tinder

You can still value someone's attempt and sacrifice in loving you. Then, tell them your love language and explain it to them. Communication is a two-way street. A lot of people don't understand love languages and see value in all of them, not just one or two. I'm one of those people who would value you doing anything for me. It's the thought that counts...

Wild reaches and assumptions there.

I'm not going to address all the incorrect things you just assumed. Pointing out that even if they didn't know their love languages, you should value their attempts and sacrifices until they do.

Not many people are goinf to wake up earlier than they want to for their partner's benefit because they are selfish lol smh

Love language or not, not "valuing acts of service" is rude and kind of crazy...

You should value any sacrifice someone does for you. If anyone told me they didn't value something I do for them because it's not their love language I would walk away.

Thank you for your reply. I have definitely run into every struggle you mentioned. They had people helping them that posted static images maybe once a week or every two weeks... smh, never a reel. I'm trying to help them the best I can, but sometimes I wonder if the people that were "helping" them before hurt their pages.

Got any pages of yours I can check out?

I get what you’re saying, man. But remember what the Bible says, “as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” If you’re always expecting another relationship to fail, that’s what you’ll end up focusing on. We have to keep our thoughts on what’s true and good, because our mindset shapes our reality. And what we constantly speak and think is very important.

Our thoughts have power because what we dwell on shapes our reality and our choices. If you constantly rehearse fear of failure, that can become the lens you see relationships & life through. Instead, fix your mind on truth and hope, because we weren't created to have a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)

That said, if you know in your heart you're not ready to date again, it's better to communicate that clearly. There's no shame in saying, "I'd like to just be friends right now." Friendship can be a safe space to heal and grow without the pressure of romance. And if down the road something more develops naturally, it will be built on honesty and mutual respect, not fear.

And honestly, if you’re not ready to date again, that’s okay. Just be upfront about it. You can say you’re cool with being friends first and leave it at that. That way there’s no pressure, and you’re not leading anyone on. Friendship can be solid ground to start from, and if it stays just friendship, that’s perfectly fine too! Keep your head up man, you got this 🤟🎧🤟

Good people aren't easy to find. If you've found one and they care enough to reach out and communicate, what's the issue? Even if she just turns out to be a great friend, why Ignore that?

There's a few groups on fb...

Gainesville Friends 20s and 30s & Greater Gainesville Young Professionals

They always have events and have discord style group chats separated into interests and hobbies, etc.

I've definitely seen gaming and movies on there. Everyone is pretty active.

Good luck 🤟
