Any advice would be hugely appreciated. I’ve been single for a year, two dc, spent year getting my head together. Was finally at the point when I was thinking of dipping my toe into OLD when I went to a local pub with friends and met a guy who seemed super keen. We texted loads and went on a few dates. We weren’t an obvious match but it was fun and we got on really well. Loads of flirting, constant contact, really fun, but then on date 4 we slept together and he had a few issues keeping hard, but it was fun and fine, and I was totally understanding and didn’t make a big thing of it. Since then we’ve had a similar pattern a few times, but we’re still getting on well and there are lots of positives sexually. But the flirting has stopped and he’s texting less and I feel like all the fun has gone. It feels like he’s letting it fizzle out on purpose. I did mention depression at one point, and he texted this week to say I might have a point but he won’t say more than that - when I asked if he wanted to talk he said no, he’s fine. Now if he’s just lost interest then fair enough, but I’m worried it’s all tied up with his insecurity and he might be killing off something with potential because he’s scared. He hasn’t been in a relationship for a very long time. I don’t know what to do! I’m not feeling super confident either and can feel myself slipping into a real low which isn’t good this close to Christmas. Words of wisdom gratefully received.
