To think I was just convenient for him at the time

I was seeing a guy who lived on the same road as me and things were going well. We had a few dates but mostly I went to his and he went to mine. I’ve now moved 3 miles away and he drives but he his response ‘have you moved away from me and my corruption then’. I didn’t know how to respond really. Then he put ‘well at least you enjoyed it and I didn’t disappoint’. Is that him ending things? So he’s not prepared to travel the 3 miles to see me?

Did he really say corruption? He sounds a bit cringey

Curlyywurly · 03/04/2024 12:51

Yes, corruption. Not really sure what he means by that. I guess he thinks he’s not good for me or something I’m not sure

In the nicest way possible OP, it sounds like you were friends with benefits at best. Spending time together because you lived on the same street. He wasn’t putting in any effort before either (if you were just going to each others houses rather than actually on dates), so I don’t know why you expected any effort from him now you’ve moved.

Sounds like he's joking?

Ponoka7 · 03/04/2024 13:24

He's hinting at an invite to your new place. Do you ever gave proper conversations? Have you replied that you can still meet up or anything?

Message back with:
I guess you weren’t too bad.

Does sound like it was just a casual thing

If you want to see him invite him over. Or suggest actually going somewhere together. If he declines then yes it was convenient because he could “walk over for a shag”
(and vice versa) If the shag was good but he doesn’t want to continue then try to accept it was fun while it lasted and enjoy your new home and find a new friend or boyfriend. If you want more than a walk over shag this time try to date as in doing things together going places together I had a neighbor shag and I remember him quite fondly.

Does sound like it was just a bit of fun for him to have someone cute on his doorstep. I don’t think he even realises there is a relationship to consider over.

Sounds like he was joking. Though have you spoken to him about whether he wants to carry on seeing you? If the two of you are having sex why can you not have a conversation?
