Man I’m dating asked for a break/time to think and now is mad I am on dating apps?

[kuanggg]

I was dating him for 3 months and then he said last week that he thinks we’re moving very quickly and he needs time to think things through properly. He didn’t give a timeline or anything and in my mind, that’s a line you use when you really want to break up with someone but don’t have the balls to actually do it. I said okay and I would think about what I wanted too. He’s not contacted me this week at all.

we have some history and dated two years ago for around 6 months and he ended things in the same way then.

Ive redownloaded Hinge and have been speaking to a few people on there. I got a text from guy I was dating today with a screenshot of the profile saying “my brother sent me this, wtf?? Seriously??”

did I do something wrong?

I bet money on him looking for dates in Hinge rather than his “brother”

He obviously doesn’t want to commit so you should take control and end things. I can’t believe that you’ve let him do this twice. Fool me once etc

Nah.

He's just pissed off that he found you on there instead of weeping and wailing and waiting for his return when he was trying to sort out some action for himself this weekend.

A man says things are moving too fast?! So you have to have a break? Yeah, no. Unless you turned up to dinner in a wedding dress, he’s dumping you but keeping you on the back burner for a shag. If he really cared for you, he would do everything in his power to keep you as his partner. You deserve someone who wants you, wants to be with you, and makes that clear. This guy is a waste of time.

All of this

He wants everything on his terms. Chuck him back.

He ended it and is now telling you off …. Errrr no.

I had a dude I’d been dating finish with me, immediately message an ex to try and hook up (literally the same day) tell me he’d done it and then met up with her …. then got upset when he found out I’d been on a dating app and met up with someone else 4 weeks later.

Men are just gaslighting sometimes.
Bin him off with his fake morals.

You'll never know because you decided to move on with your life and never, ever to communicate with him again, right?

Make a promise to yourself that this person will never again worm his way into your life.

What?

You see being played.
He is a player.
He is blowing smoke up your ass.
Just thinking what other ways there may be to express this...

Dump, block, move on. Forget he exists.

Oh what a tedious twat. He was testing you, he wanted you weeping and wailing. Tell him to sod off and mean it.
He sounds a entitled pathetic specimen. He seems also to be punching above his weight.

I’m answering the person who told me I shouldn’t have assumed that it meant I could date other people.

im saying there’s not a “relationship” as he ended it with both this statement and his lack of contact

😂😂😂 this me me laugh. Nope, apparently meeting once a week for a date was too fast. Ah well, we live and we learn

This.

The only thing I'd change is that I'd put 'your brother' in inverted commas, because as others have said - we all know it's him that has found it.

I’d appreciate it if both you and your “brother” would MYOFB.
Lose my number. Savvy?

Don't waste your time with him
