Hello! Looking for some opinions/advice please.
Last Christmas time I met a guy online and we just really hit it off. We spent hours on the phone, had Netflix dates through FaceTime and I felt like we began to like each other (as much as you can without meeting someone in person of course). He asked if I wanted to meet and I said yes but this was during lockdown so we physically couldn’t but we made plans to meet as soon as lockdown was lifted and this was something we spoke about quite often.
However we both live in different parts of the UK and the covid lockdown kept being extended so our meeting up date kept getting pushed back. I found this really tough and after a few months I began to feel things fizzling. Things completely fizzled out and I was quite disappointed as I feel like we never got to meet and see what things could have been like in person.
We didn’t speak for a few months but he has recently contacted me again. He said he has been thinking about me and apologised for the way things fizzled, he said he found the lockdown very tough and also that the distance had started to scare him - he said he felt like someone was going to get hurt. I would like to meet him this time round and just see what the chemistry is like in person but after his comment about being scared by the distance, I’m not sure what his intentions are with me. I don’t want to feel like we are just pen pals. He hasn’t mentioned meeting up and I feel like I am more interested than he is.
I suppose my question is - why would he come back if he is scared of the distance? Is it just for company/attention through the phone? I will only really know if I have this conversation with him - but it would be good to get some opinions on this before I raise it with him!
