Making my way home. Are you home yet?

[Inexperiencedchick]

Just that really.
How should I understand this question?

We are exchanging messages via OLD website. I haven't given my number yet and he hasn't asked to meet up.
This question is from today... Am I right to be cautious or should I accept it as normal. Am I overreacting?

Does he have your address?

It sounds as though he's texting his wife, tbh.

It's a completely benign question- unless I'm missing something? What are you worried about?

No, he doesn't.
I haven't shared any personal info.
Just showed him my pic yesterday, as I don't keep my pic on my profile...

Am I right to be worried?

The second part of the message pushed me back a bit.
And I'm asking just to know that it's a normal question.

It's just general chat isn't it?

That sounds like a message meant for someone else

I'm fine if it's just a general chat.

For me it came across like I'm already his wife...

I think just general chat too, maybe trying to start a conversation?

Perhaps he means if/when you are both home it will be possible to continue to chat? So nothing sinister!

Just sounds like chit chat, a way to start a conversation. I really don't see anything sinister in it.

I just hope he is nice and not rude...

We started chatting lightly, and I'm okay with one text per day for now...

Don't want to rush into anything...

It's a perfectly normal question thing to talk about when getting to know someone I think. 'I'm on my way home at the moment, have you got home yet?' As in is your working day over (if it's relevant) and could possibly be followed up with 'what are you up to tonight? I'm meeting my mate for a beer blah blah blah'

I guess I panicked then...

Take a deep breath, and stop looking for things that aren't there.

He's on his way home after a (presumably!) long and tiring day, and is searching for a way to make contact and start a conversation.

I think its General chit chat.

It's like "I'm making dinner now, have you had dinner yet?".

Sounds fine to me, what were you imagining?

Are you sure you are ready for this dating lark ?

One text per day? And his was to ask if you're home yet? Slow down guys all that excitement isn't good for you!

poldarks

Also think general chit chat

Those saying meant for someone else /wife possibly if via text but if via the app then I'd doubt he's accidently message you on their a message meant for say his wife via a text iyswim

I would take it as 'are you free to chat' or general chit chat. I don't think it's anything sinistet

I got used to be single so much that I get stressed out when people ask some personal questions...

AF I thought I would give it a go... But OLD is really soul destroying...

And I did get advice here to seek old style way of meeting men. But it's difficult as I'm reserved and don't go out much...

Aww. DH used to text me that when we were first chatting before we met in person. He'd ask if I was home yet and how my day was and tell me funny stuff that happened to him, to make me smile.

It's nice. Enjoy it for what it is.

I'm confused by your one text a day, if he asks a question do you reply? Or do you save it for the next day? What's even the point in one text?
