Man with insecurities

[Achica123]

I went out on a date with this guy, who was super nice to me. He treated me well, we had a good time. We continued still talking and all seemed fine until this morning when he sent me this long winded message about his fears and insecurities. He mentioned that he’ll always worry that he’s not good enough for me and that will make him block at times, etc...

I am really confused as to how to understand this letter. Shall I move beyond it and continue talking to him to see if we can be together? Or shall I take this as an warning sign to run away?

Way too much after one date! I definitely think you should move on.

And you don't need to give him any explanation for not seeing him again. Just a "Sorry,we're not compatible. Good luck."

Run! And don't look back. He's way too much hard work.

Sounds like the script from one of those tedious Woody Allen films he use to 'star' in.
Drop and move on.

He sounds awfully insecure, I feel a bit sorry for him. Still, I say run for the hills - or at least a brisk walk for the hills.

Sounds like he aims to work out, at an early stage, who is ripe for manipulation. Like a test, if your not put off (as you should be) he'll be able to manipulate some more, if you've got sense and enough self respect, you'll move on and he'll look for another one that might be willing to compromise themselves. Quite twisted really, stay well clear, you pass as a sorted, together person by giving him a wide birth. To continue would be to fail yourself.

What Bottomchops said. He's setting you up to be treated like crap. The hills are that way...

He sounds too invested too soon. Not normal for a first date so yes, big red flag to me.

One date? Nah, not worth analysing...move on

Too heavy. He has serious insecurity and intimacy issues . He is a controlling man as he may have been severely hurt during his childhood or/and Adulthood. He needs long term therapy. You'll end up really hurt if you continue to date this man. Move on now whilst you are healthy in your mind!

Maybe you'll never be good enough fir him as he is secretly gay? Happened to me.

I wonder what's happening to decent men! I am despairing in finding one that I can have good time with without having to worry about being insecure or thinking that he's God given !
Where did the good decent men go to?!

no need to phase out, don't meet up again...it's headfuckery.
