So I met a guy on a dating app and I really really like him. We have been talking for a few days but today he has took ages to reply (like hours) I feel like I’m back at school as I really do fancy him loads and I thought he was into me but maybe I am being too needy and should back off.

You don't even know him yet. Calm down.

I have spoke to quite a few men and got bored so easily and it just wasn’t there but I really like this guy and he gives me butterflies and makes me smile. Always the bloody way! Haha

Until you actually meet him he's really just a figment of your imagination. He could be 80, he could be 50 stone, he could be a she...

But if a guy is interested they pursue you don’t they. Feel like it is mr making most of the effort

Wow, you need to relax.

he could have had an appointment, an important meeting, been at work, was sleeping.

you sound needy, a bright red flag to any interested person.

If it's only been a few days and you're the one making most of the effort, he's not for you.

Give the guy a chance! Most people would be back at work today after the Easter break, I was so busy I’ve barely checked my phone today so it’s not unreasonable that it could have been the same for him.

Ablondiebutagoody · 22/04/2025 21:47

He was probably working. You sound nuts!

Angelchick1971 · 22/04/2025 21:51

Tbf I work in a place you can't take your phone in so would take me hours to reply.

😬 way too much this early on. Maybe you gave off needy vibes.

Also if you met on a dating app I guarantee you're not the only one he's talking to. And if he's a charmer then he'll having plenty of women to choose from as most men are so dull on dating apps!

Yes that was a tad dramatic 🤣 I’m not that bad but I do feel something with him compared to other men. Anyway I backed off and he has been sending the goodnight/morning messages

He might have been at work, out driving, dealing with something, phone could have been low on charge/ charging in another room … some people don’t have their phone with them all the time or he could be like me and some of his messages apps are on a separate screen, I don’t check and then people ask me why I take so long to reply!!

Good idea. He’s picked up on your ‘needy’ vibe.
You really are getting ahead of yourself. Calm down.

ScunneredWife · 23/04/2025 09:39

You’ve been talking for a few days? And you’re this dramatic?!

I’m presuming he’s an adult with adult responsibilities; I’d be more worried if after a few days he had nothing better to do than reply to your messages

SeaShellsSanctuary1 · 23/04/2025 09:48

Let him go.....for his sake

JanSix · 23/04/2025 09:51

Jesus, just meet the guy. He might look like Toad of Toad Hall in reality!
