A couple of weeks ago I was in a local cafe. The man who was standing at the till kept looking over and my friend kept telling me he was looking at me. When I went over he was very chatty and friendly and eventually said "it's astra isn't it? We matched on tinder a few days ago". I was a bit taken a back that he remembered me as I didn't remember him but he seemed nice so we chatted for a bit. I added him on Facebook when I left and we spoke a lot over messenger, sending a lot of messages over the week from morning til when we went to sleep. I was really liking the conversations which were actually about social issues we were both interested in. We arranged to meet on the Friday (a week ago).
He seems to know me from a while back. We're from the same area and he said he used to see me on the tube where we live and thought I was beautiful etc., but lacked confidence to come over. He also said he wanted to speak to me in the cafe before but his anxiety wouldn't allow him to do that. He's really insecure but in a similar way to me. He's very attractive but you can tell he doesn't think he is.
Now we both shared that we had had similar childhoods in relation to alcoholic parents etc. I was really nervous on the date and kinda spoke too much. He said he enjoyed listening etc and next time I should just ask him more questions. He left after about 3 hours.
We messaged a bit this week but I have been unwell so not a lot really. I really enjoyed spending time wirh him but I think I messed it up 😔
It's a massive shame because we are a great match, but maybe I am destined to be with losers all my life.
We spoke yesterday after me being ill since Monday but messages are a bit short and sweet.
I really want to see him again. I arranged the last date. Aibu to text and ask him if he is free this weekend?
