Hi all.
I've been on my own for a very long time and been very happy, but thought recently that I would like to try a relationship and went on an OLD site. Been on a few dates but weren't meant to be. Had a first date with someone this week and he seems very down to earth and I was very attracted to him. We talked about a second date which I was happy about.
Prior to the date, we messaged through Whatsapp and a few times I had to hint about the amount of texting he was doing as it was ALL the time, although the content was absolutely fine. He seemed to acknowledge this OK.
Since the date, if I was to message back to every text straight away, the messaging would have been all the time. Was getting early morning texts too. They were getting pretty heavy, in my opinion, more like texts you'd send your new girlfriend of a couple of months. I felt a bit love bombed. This weekend he was going away with his friend (which was planned before our date, and I was pretty relieved to be honest as I hoped our 2nd date wouldn't be until next week) but he text me saying my friend said he wouldn't mind if I didn't go...I was like what?!! (in my head) so I replied with no you can't not go, seeing you in the week and maybe next weekend is fine.
So I text him yesterday saying that I really like him and that I think he is lovely but I was feeling a bit uncomfortable as his tests were pretty heavy considering that we've had one date. He replied with OK that's fine and sorry xx
The texts have since stopped which is fine and this morning I was going to message him to say how his weekend had been, but on reflection it's made me think that maybe I don't want a relationship after all.
I don't know if this is the case or that he's just put me off, and I don't know if I should go on that second date!
