Overthinking? No response from date

[Splendidsun]

Would appreciate some advice, met a guy from Match, three excellent dates, coffee, drinks and dinner, third date at mine and dtd...this was last Saturday. Messaging and chatting every day.

Date set up for tomorrow, I messaged at lunch to confirm via WA and no response. Message has been delivered and not read. First guy in four months of dating that I really like. Should I just assume for whatever reason he isn't interested now?

I know I mustn't message again but it is hard, thinking how could he have changed his mind about me in one afternoon plus if he has I find it rude that he hasn't messaged me to tell me. Keep checking my phone, this is crazy, I am a grown woman of 46! TIA for sane advice.

Awwwwwwww

@Splendidsun

So glad last night went well and you are smiling today

Thanks for the info about Match and how funny you are the same age as me. Maybe I need to try it again!

Result!

Oh I love this thread! I miss the early part of a relationship when it's almost nerve-wrackingly exciting! Glad he messaged back! He seems a gooden!

Glad you enjoyed yourself, the difference in your posting today is palpable

Yes , glad you had a lovely time @Splendidsun

Ah lovely to read this thread and see all has turned out ok! I met my other half on Match. He lived a 2 minute drive from me, and it's crazy to think I may have never of met him if I wasn't bored one Sunday evening and decided to sign up!

We've only been together 3 years, both in our 30's with 2 kids under 2 and getting married next July.

When you know, you know!

Good luck with everything! Keep us updated I'm rooting for you x

Thanks Elmo - love to hear positive stories. I do have such a good feeling, part of me is wary but I'm just going to try and enjoy the now and not overthink everything.

Gorgeous day here on the South Coast and jumping on bike to work. Wishing you all a great day

Love a Match happy ending! I met my DH on there three years ago, we now have a bouncing ten month old :)

It's tricky in the beginning until you learn the ropes of online dating, but if it's fun, and makes your heart happy, then go with it!

@summeryet
Please share your tricks of online dating as I fail miserably every time!

@Lulumush haha! No tricks... you'll get there :) just keep it fun! I met my DH for breakfast as our first date, and had forgotten that I'd walked the dogs earlier that morning, and appeared with one of their leads looped round my neck! Sometimes less is more ;)

I believe personally that you were overthinking as sex changes everything when it is so early days. Glad though that you both seem to be on the same page.

I met my DP on Match Affinity 8 years ago and we met at a nice pub by the river. Got chatting about books, films, hobbies... as you do... and then realised that it was 10pm before we knew it. We hadn't even noticed the rain falling around us as we sat under a small pagoda getting on like old friends. It's nice when online dating works

@msmith501 would you recommend match affinity? I've never tried it.

Quick update. Just back from spending the day and night at his, really good actually amazingly good!

I would recommend Match, it has been time consuming but I wouldn't have met him without it.

Early days but happy for now and who knows what the future has in store!

Aww what a lovely thread. I did laugh at how you went from assuming he'd met someone else, to being exclusive! haha.
I totally get your insecurities because that is what OLD is like. Things can change at the drop of a hat and people can disappear just as quick. When you've had it happen many times, you kind of expect it.
So lovely to hear that things are working out for you!
