MissCanuck 1,065 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I have no idea why you're still bothering with this. With respect, do you have many friends to talk to? People in your real life that you engage with? (even digitally, given the pandemic) Not men that you talk to online, but real friendships and connections of substance? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My whole life I've dedicated to friends n work n everything else other than dating. And most of those female friends focus more on their other halves now. So actually im doing the same...focusing on the dating aspect of things. As disastrous as it may come across I don't really understand the assumptions made.

Personally, I would have ended the conversation right here. Then unmatched, deleted and blocked him from ALL your social media and messaging apps. Don't chase uninterested people. It's nerve-wracking and wastes time you could devote to talking to and meeting interested men. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough and i usually don't but given the context and all thats happened before i don't think hes uninterested....maybe more wary/untrusting thinking im not real etc etc. Because if you see all i replied to that was. You were fine a day ago.. and why is that...and then he asked what do you genuinely want (i.e what im looking for). Because he always assumed i was wasting his time before. N when i told him i was wanting to meet before lockdown happened but didnt get round to getting in contact etc...his tone changed. Edited January 7 by nicole92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jibralta 1,191 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Well, good job making contact. Looks like you survived. 38 minutes ago, nicole92 said: You do need to get in touch with your feelings a bit more though. ( because he usually never says how anything makes him feel..hes very just matter of fact). I think he has told you how exactly he feels, and I think his feelings are appropriate and proportionate to the situation: He prefers phone calls and would like to video chat. He thinks you're a nervous person. He thinks doesn't know what you want from him. He doubts that there is a future between him and you. What more do you expect from him in terms of feelings? You've never met; he's probably not going to open a vein. Edited January 7 by Jibralta Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well i want to turn the situation around and not have him view me with side eyes all the time. He clearly noticed i wasnt around as he kept bringing up how i went off the radar and basically had a go at me. Edited January 7 by nicole92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't look like he's going to budge on that. But keep in mind, there's no guarantee that anything you do will "turn this around."

I really dont like video calls as catfishy as that comes across to him. 🤦♀️. I hate how hes equating that with im automatically a catfish. Ive met up with people from the app before with just one or two simple photos and a phonecall..even just text messages Edited January 7 by nicole92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boltnrun 1,450 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 You interrogated him about whether he's dating or talking to anyone else. Why do you feel you have the right to know that? You two are not dating. I would presume that's why he stopped responding. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because when we would talk back in the day he would ask me questions like that ALL the time. Also of people are going to invest their time into someone i dont see the problem in asking such questions. And he did reply. He asked me the same question back to me before answering...i said people want to get toknow me but its not mutual..i asked him and he said obviously people want to know him too. 😂 even though earlier he said he was busy with family and hadn't focused on dating. And i then asked anyone he would put a ring on He replied no. And asked me why i chose to speak to him above the others. And so the conversation is continuing Edited January 8 by nicole92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cos of everything that happened before like him thinking i was using him as a texting buddy etc...but then when i asked him why...he was like what do you want from me..and then i explained how my intentions have always beenn legitimate ( because he didnt believe it before) to which he replied he always thought i just wanted to be messaging mindlessly..as in i was a timewaster. So i sort of am trying to change it for the better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SooSad33 424 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Alrighty.. well is your choice... go for it. But if he distances himself again.. for his own reasons, will be a clear indication, he's not into it. Just be ready, since this all seemed like a rocky start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nicole92 2 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 (edited) Hes been messaging me frequently and in an engaging way the last few days. Yesterday night he asked me how i am and how my days been at 9pm. And made a joke like I've got great senses ( as i had a good insight into how he is as a person etc).. I didnt message till this afternoon and said hi my day was good hows your weekend? He replied pretty quick.... Out of nowhere his tones totally changed and he's said hes finished work now. Anyway i dont want to take this any further goodbye. Its like he just came out of work and decided to message me that? He was probably stressed from work i dunno and fed up maybe...and then sees my message joking around not taking anything seriously. But still. Wow. I am definitely disappointed. I've still got his number but i don't want to call him... and annoy him further Edited January 9 by nicole92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
