He does message every few hours, but the messages so short, is he interested?

I started talking to this man on Tinder (had no other successful matches). We've not managed to arrange a date yet, hopefully will next weekend.

I've no experience of dating like this. He does message every morning, usually once around lunchtime and in the evening, but it's 'hey'. or 'nice day?' I feel like I'm doing all the talking.

Am I being daft? Typing this out made me think I really am being daft and he is stringing me along. I'm hopelessly nervous if you can't tell.

At the very least he's lazy, but it sounds like he's messaging you when it's convenient for him.

What happens when you ask questions? Does he give proper answers?

I wouldn't focus on the messaging before you meet him. Don't put anything on to it. Once you meet if you like him and he is still flakey don't bother with him again. You haven't even met yet.

My DH texts like this. When we were dating I found it frustrating at first, but it’s just the way he is. I suspect he’s actually dyslexic, but undiagnosed.

He does answer and then usually asks about me. I'd like to meet up with him so hopefully he's slightly more chatty IRL.

My Dh is dyslexic...but hewrite a lot more than that

Have a look on the “ dating thread 155 spring lovin’ “ to speak to others who are using OLD as a way to meet people. It’s a very supportive and helpful group.

I've binned one who does the same; 'hey babe, looking gorgeous' after sending a pic, or 'hey, now I'm here in ... speak soon'. It's all empty words, no real conversations. And we've had two very successful dates. It feels like he's set a reminder in his phone to text the woman. I complained about this today and he just sent me a series of pics from his holiday in Italy. No conversation. I also suspect I may be one of many that's he's dangling. No thanks.

yeh, i'd suggest a time and a place and cut him loose if he doesn't at least suggest an alternative time and place. No point being ''simmered'' for six months. It happens

I was also going to say dyslexia. It's hard for my mate to type much as she finds it exhausting trying to make sure it's correct

Have you exchanged numbers? As it's Tinder I would presume he is probably messaging several other women. It's quite normal. I wouldn't get too invested until you meet up.

Arrange a date. All the chatting online is really bollocks until you've physically met them in person.
Don't get invested in the messaging stage, remember with online dating it's likely he'll be chatting to others too so getting attached at this stage isn't very healthy.

I must be old. I really wouldn’t give any stock to how he answers texts or the number of times he texts.
My DH isn’t dyslexic and I only get one word answers on text. It means nothing.

Sorry as someone who is very dyslexic if I like someone my diagnosis doesn't stop me for texting!
There is a lot of ignorance about dyslexia and seems a lot of men use it as an excuse and women accept it!
