Had 4 dates or walks chats with bloke I meet on pof.
His track record for relationship is not great One 2 year one when he was at university ans a 3 month one a while ago . We are both mid 40s.
When asked he said he been too busy with saving and work.
He has a part buy part rent flat and good job and car and a hobby which he admits gives him a social life if nothing else.
Whats worrying me is he has made no attempt or reference to sadly not being able to have a physical relationship at present or even to kiss.me.

When i asked if he fancied me .He said yes but is more into a whole approach of personality and beliefs etc..
He is coming over to mine for a garden bbq tonight so will await to see if any flirting etc happens
Am i over thinking?

I wouldn't write him off with regards to the relationship record. My DP (early 50s) never married or had children and his longest relationship was 3 years at uni. He threw himself into his career and simply didn't find the right person. I know there's nothing sinister about it all because two of his friends are exes who he briefly dated over 10 years ago. They are both married now and he is like a brother to them and godfather to their kids. Some people just don't manage to meet the right person until later in life.

As to whether he should be making moves, it might be that he is very self conscious with the social distancing and also, being respectful to you. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for now as it is still early days.
