I went to a speed dating event last night.
im really proud of myself as it’s the first time and I went alone and actually it was quite fun. Some interesting people and a few slightly odd ones.
I am annoyed with myself as when it ended, the very last person I was talking to asked for my number. You don’t actually need to exchange numbers as you can do it via the website afterwards by choosing who you liked. I wanted to say ‘I’d prefer to do it via the website’ but then I felt uncomfortable so I said ok, and I’m sure he saw I was hesitant. But anyway I gave him my number and I’ve been annoyed the whole evening. It’s showed me I need to work on my boundaries and people pleasing.
anyway this morning, I did send my matches back and put on there no match for him but he’s just messaged me saying “how are you? Did you get back ok last night?”
I know it’s pathetic to ask but what should I reply to shut it down. I feel weirdly exposed by giving my number, and also he was very shady in the 5 min chat about what he did. I’m just feeling quite aggrieved with myself.
