We have been emailing since beginning of March, have had several 2 hour chats on the phone, lots of text conversation, both getting on very very well.
We have Been on two dates, first one was eating lunch in a pub followed by a walk very nice too. We enjoyed a few kisses.
second one was picnic which he insisted he made.
It was a lovely, very relaxed. Though we had to eat the picnic in the camper van due to the rain.
Lots of talking about our mutual interests of Art, theatre poetry music and motorbikes.
He has talked about his Daughter, he hasn't mentioned his Ex.
I think that's fine, that the early dates are about getting to know each other slowly
I do feel attracted to him, but I don't want rush things.
but my acquaintance A, thinks that he should have mentioned her within the last month, she says that he his hiding something.
And that if we fancied each other we should by now have gone further than just holding hands and kissing,
i think she is or was a MNetter as she mentioned red flags.
Should I ignore what she's saying, given that she's never met him. I know she has my interests at heart, she's been a huge support since I was widowed. Another friend B said she wondered if acquaintance A was feeling left out so trying to discourage me having dates. I still see A just as much, just now I feel a bit like I shouldn't talk to her about seeing him.
Is it odd that he hasn't spoken about his Ex with me
Is it odd that we've no plans to jump into bed together just yet.
I've been out of this dating lark for a while, have things changed so much?
Or are there red flags that I've just not noticed?
