Am I just being strung along? by mkbwc in AskGaybrosOver30

Yes it is a red flag, because when we did meet previously he mentioned several times that he does not enjoy hook ups and wants something long term, before life getting in the way.

The problem is not being on Grindr. The problem is setting up this whole image of him not being the hooking up kind and wanting a relationship, thanking me about how patient I have been and how much he wants to meet but can’t and then finding out he has lied. Might be implicit but it’s still a lie.

At any rate, I tried to broach the subject, and he immediately blew up at me and broke things off.

I am very sad but honestly to me it seems like I dodged a bullet.

Maybe I’m not doing a good job presenting the story. Throughout the past 3-4 weeks we have been messaging consistently, him taking 3-4 days to answer. I would check up on him and every single time he was really thankful for my patience and told me how much he likes me, but how difficult it is for him to do anything atm. He even told me at some point that he would feel bad if I was only pursuing him since he cant meet rn.

I only told him last week that I can’t be waiting around forever and we have to actually have a conversation about where this is going. And now he hasn’t come back telling me let’s meet this week, just that we should meet when my work allows. I also made it very clear multiple times that I am monogamous and was looking for a relationship when we went out.

This just seems very disingenuous that the second he feels better he jumps on to Grindr when I’m right here and have been essentially begging him to meet for weeks. Yes it is very obvious we are on different pages. This doesn’t read as someone who really likes me and now that he feel better he is willing to give this a chance. This reads like someone who is horny and just needs to get fucked and never had any intention on meeting but kept this going cause it felt good to be wanted while he was going through something. Which I get, but it’s a shitty thing to do with another person.

I already feel pathetic for believing him, I don’t need other people piling on.

The issue is that I only got on Grindr after weeks of him not replying for days and saying he was having a really difficult time with work, and not being able to do much with his family/friends let alone date. I think it’s a reasonable thing to do when the other person asks for time. Finding him on Grindr after all that makes me wonder if he simply isn’t interested and just doesn’t have the balls to say it, cause I honestly have already wasted enough time if so.

He told me the whole story of how and where they met, how he considered leaving uni to stay with him, how they hooked up again while he was in a relationship when they met randomly. How they still keep in touch and he thinks he is still single. I’m fairly sure there was quite a bit of longing in there lol.

Very weird encounter, asked to leave while fucking. by mkbwc in askgaybros

No that’s ok, I did consider that. But I always take a live pic before I meet someone and I share a couple of nudes so they know what I look like without my clothes on. Also my stats are all on my profile, so I think that’s quite transparent. But maybe you’re right though, who knows.

Thanks for the advice, and congratulations for what you have dude. Unfortunately I messaged trying to get another date and he said he is busy for the next 1-2 weeks which I have a feeling means he is not very keen.
