If you take a moment, and be honest with yourself, what about this guy is making you anxious?

My past experiences. If you go back and read my posts from January 2018 you’ll understand. I posted a lot so the short version is basically that I got completely blind sided to the point where I questioned my own sanity.

 

Also, we have a age difference now of 8 years so I guess our texting habits are different just as many other things that I’m Learning right now. When he is with me I have his undivided attention and he doesn’t even check his phone unless he wants to show me a pic or something.

I am confused. What do you want from this guy? You are concerned about him not texting you, yet you pursued him after your first date together because he didn't ask you out for a second date. You had to ask him to meet up with you. Then, you told him you didn't want a fling, yet you slept with him on your second date.

 

I think you are sending him mixed messages and should be very careful moving forward. You slept with him on the second date that you actually, technically, set up b/c he was "too busy" (see: not committed to see you again or he would have asked you out immediately after the second date). He didn't text you every day while he was out of town for work, which is only what a boyfriend in a long-term relationship does; not with a woman he had one date with.

 

Now you are waiting for him to initiate a 3rd date, yet you were the one who pursued him to meetup with you at his place, where you two had sex on the second date. Do you just want a fling with this guy while you casually date other guys?

 

This is exactly what I don't miss about online dating; all the game playing.

 

I think you need to decide what you want, have better boundaries, not sleep with every guy on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd dates, and let them pursue you.

 

Chasing men who online date to date you, is essentially you telling them, that you don't really value yourself and are ok settling with whatever crap they throw at you. Men do not respect women who chase them. They just don't.

 

If that's what you want out of online dating, ok. But if you want to get a serious relationship, this is not the way to go about it.

I agree with Watercolors - also because he's already made a point to tell you he's not looking for anything serious.

He didn’t say that! He says he’s in a neutral space and open.

I agree with Allupinit. He told you he was only looking for a casual fling -- and that's exactly what you gave him, by sleeping with him on the second date.

 

Look, if you don't want to have casual flings, and you tell guys that you don't want to have casual flings, then don't have casual flings by sleeping with guys so early on.

 

There should be no confusion in your mind now, that he is not interested in pursuing anything serious with you. You've gone and taken all the work away for him now anyway, having slept with him; having' initiated the second date he was not interested enough to make himself with you.

Still OP, you didn't answer the question. "What Do You Want"?

Then you should have cancelled and waited until you felt better to go on a proper date. Your suggesting to stay in pretty much said all you wanted was sex, he delivered so be it. You are already a FWB.

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

 

yeah I know... thats why... its just dumb to sleep with someone so fast and then ask around why it did not work out!

If he "couldn't stop thinking about you", why did he wait 2 days to continue to think about you as opposed to communicating with you?

 

Sounds like lip service.

 

Genuine compliments are backed up by action. Words alone are what snake-oil salesmen rely on.

 

Buyer beware.

So he tried to take me out tonight but I can’t because of another commitment. Then I suggested Friday but he has these get togethers with his co workers once a month but said he would be free after that. Would you guys give it a go or reschedule?

He may have not wanted to appear clingy hence the two day wait. There's always that chance that he isn't interested, but should you not hear back from him about a second date, try to make plans with him instead. Initiate.

Did you contact him or did he contact you for a date? If he's getting together with his co-workers Friday that would mean you wouldn't see him until later that night around the booty call hour. If you are looking for more sex go with it if not; you should wait for him to contact you and ask you out on a date.

He contacted me for the date! But he asked initially for a day where I’m busy. I like the brunch idea! Our first date wasn’t til 9pm either and we were out bowling etc til pretty late so if he’s free at around 9 and has something planned I’ll give it a go and if not I’m gonna reschedule

I'd turn down Friday night, and brunch on Sunday would be perfect. But I have a feeling he doesn't want to meet you during the day.

To be honest, I do not regret the sex part or think that there’s something too early. I wanted it too or I wouldn’t have slept with it. I guess I have a different opinion about that than most people in this forum.

 

Since you are also dating other guys this one might think you have sex on the first date with them too. What made this guy different?
