Confused by text

Opinions please: I got this text from the guy I have been seeing for a few months. Is he being really nice or is this a 'it's been nice knowing you' text?
I had a good time as well. You are really a great person and I am so so glad to have meet you!!!!

I really like him, my instinct is to call him and ask- but I really don't want to come across as insecure.

Sounds very positive to me. Did he say anything else?

HappyGirlNow · 30/04/2015 21:00

Why would you think that could be negative?

Don't call and ask him, he'll think you've lost the plot

lostheloveofmylife · 30/04/2015 21:06

Thank you- I was hoping I was just having a moment. He is so nice, I am totally falling for him.

You would come across as insecure so don't question it- do you think things are going well? Do you think he's a great person and are glad to have met him too?

If so just keep enjoying it

pocketsaviour · 30/04/2015 21:36

He doesn't know the difference between "met" and "meet" LTB

Just kidding, he sounds great. Enjoy!

lostheloveofmylife · 30/04/2015 22:08

Ha, yes I held myself back from correcting the typo. I do think he is a great person and I am overjoyed that I met him. I just keep thinking he's going to change his mind about me! I guess that's what comes from 17 years in a terrible marriage does to you. Thanks for the replies though- Any tips on how to be keen but cool gratefully received!!

It sounds an odd text, tbh. Was it in response to something you sent him?

HappyGirlNow · 30/04/2015 22:16

What's odd about it??! Nothing odd in my opinion. He's just saying he likes her and is glad he met her...

ImperialBlether · 30/04/2015 22:18

I meant, he said, "I had a good time as well." I was asking whether that was in response to something she said.

CtrlAltDelicious · 30/04/2015 22:18

I don't think it's odd at all. Sounds like a text from a man who's really glad he's found someone he clicks with!

Sounds to me like he likes you a lot. Don't call and ask - just carry on as per normal.

lostheloveofmylife · 30/04/2015 23:02

Yes, it was in response to my text saying 'thanks, it was lovely to see you.' after we had gone out for a drink.

OP posts:

ImperialBlether · 30/04/2015 23:12

Well, why the worry, then?

Read them through again:

You said: Thanks, it was lovely to see you.

He replied: I had a good time as well. You are really a great person and I am so so glad to have meet you!!!!

How can you misinterpret that? Just enjoy having a lovely time with him!

ashtrayheart · 30/04/2015 23:16

If he was saying 'nice to have known you but goodbye' I don't think he would have added the effusive 'so so glad'. He sounds too enthusiastic for it to be negative.

mommyof23kids · 01/05/2015 07:10

Keen as mustard.

pocketsaviour · 01/05/2015 14:06

If you want to reply I would just say something like "Me too :) Do you fancy meeting up for dinner next week?"

upaladderagain · 01/05/2015 19:47

Oh, somebody has knocked your confidence so badly that you can't recognise an honest, positive response. What he says is what he means. See him again, like pocket suggests, and have a great time together.

lostheloveofmylife · 01/05/2015 20:29

You are all right. Thank you! I am seeing him tonight This morning he sent me a link to a song he likes. He is funny and kind and very sexy.

Is English his first language?
