Dating advice please

[NOTthepinkranger]

I’ve been on a few dates with someone I met on online dating, really good dates each time having a laugh arranging to see eachother again etc. Generally positive

Anyway our last date was Saturday and he said he wanted to see me again but I haven’t been free at all this week and he’s away this weekend, we have been texting though but his texts are getting really short and snotty he will ask questions I will reply he will say ‘k’

Do I ask is something wrong? Do I say to him if you’re not interested you don’t have to message me? Or do I just leave it and see how it goes?

I’m very very new to dating I’m not really sure what to do.

Don't bother messaging him again. Time to move on.

It depends. If he is being rude for no reason, ditch him. If he just seems busy, I'd see how it goes, some people aren't massive texters

Cut him loose. You do not go grovelling for explanations for his rude behaviour a couple of dates in. You're worth more than a 'k'.

Maybe he thinks you're really dating other people rather than being busy. In my experience the men on dating apps seem to think you should speak only to them once you go on a date.

If you feel he's being rude or you're getting a bad vibe, I'd stop contacting him.

Thanks for the replies.

He’s actually text me asking if I’m free Monday saying that he hasn’t bothered me too much because he knows I’ve been busy this week. I think I need to learn to relax and enjoy dating and maybe gain some confidence.

Yes, NOTthepinkranger, you are giving yourself good advice there so do take it.
