I've been exclusively dating someone I met on Bumble for a month now. Problem is, he behaves differently, depending on the type of communication or, time of day, or location. For example, when texting, he is such a sweetheart. Funny etc. Daytime talking on the phone on work breaks, he's lovely and polite. However, when face to face, he comes across blunt, miserable and a bit angry. We spoke about it and I put it down to nerves. He often tells me he gets nervous before we meet. We speak for hours on the phone and I can't get enough of him.
I can't help but feel disappointed after meeting up because I looked forward to seeing him so much. he ends up being slightly offensive somehow or says random things, just for the sake of saying it.
I think spending more time together would help but we both have children so we don't see each other alot..... A couple of evenings once or, twice a week. I hope his face-to-face social skills improve or he learns to relax. He returns to normal after we've DTD too
but we can't just be doing that to calm his nerves each time! I used to be an awkward person when shy and say silly things, so I'm hoping this is purely what is happening here. Flipping hard work trying to smile through his moments of ignorance though. Anyone else met someone who is so nervous they seem to say all the wrong things but have a hear of gold?
