Saw my online match in person - too late to reply?!

It has been almost a week since I replied to this guy I matched with. His messages were great & really interesting, I just got app fatigue so quickly and also wasn't sure if he was really my type.

Just fyi my status is 'long term, open to short' and his is 'short, open to long term'.

Anyway I haven't replied for 5 days and last night while at a concert he appears next to me with friends. We both just looked at each other like 'is it...?'. In person he is way better looking and also a great dancer! But I don't know what he thought of me.

Is too late to reply from my end?

just go for it. You have nothing to lose!

I would definitely write to him and be very very honest with him.

@determinedtomakethiswork what do you mean very honest with him?

well - I stopped texting because I got bored of apps, and backed off from them. Then I saw you at the concert and really liked what I saw!

But maybe determined meant something different!

I did that @steppemum and he said 'no pressure or rush at all, I understand.'

And yes, it was him at the concert and were chatting lots now 🙂 I honestly think if I hadn't seen him last night I would've have bothered to message again.

He was better looking and there was a bit of chemistry when our eyes met. Just goes to show how many connections are missed because it's hard to convey flesh and blood over an app!

Hope it goes well!

Sounds like it's meant to be!

Magnoliainbloom · 13/06/2023 12:16

Oh wow!! So neither of you knew you were attending the concert??

janeseymour78 · 13/06/2023 12:43

Absolutely none @Magnoliainbloom he just appeared next to me.

I was just thinking about not taking the connection forward because I'd been talking to him and one other guy who turned out to be a sex pest which got me down and I was fed up.

I got to see what an a amazing dancer he is, that he's better looking in real life and the nice way he interacted with his friends. If he hadn't shown up I don't think I'd have kept it going online.

Looking forward to a proper date now! 🙂
