After two dates to expect this

[Lovechildp]

2 dates with a guy -
plan for a third when he gets back from working abroad mid May (lawyer in france)
texts most days one or two messages - nothing heavy
have not had sex and I do not plan to - no sex before monogamy for me (thanks Patti S)

friend says its laughable how uninterested he is in me and ‘how can I put up with that’

AIBU - he should be dumped because it will not go anywhere
YANBU - this is normal communication for a stranger

Someone away with work after meeting twice in one week I would not expect even daily texts tbf, you barely barely know each other, it's clear he's keeping you "warm" so to speak to continue dating when he gets back.

You said you didn't feel comfortable talking on the phone because he's French, I think I'd not feel comfortable talking on the phone at all with someone I'd met twice!

Hope your date on Friday goes well, and get rid of the batshit friend

Excatly!!! He doesnt even know me!!!!
