Matched with a guy on tinder three weeks ago.
We chatted and got on great.
We were meant to meet up but then lockdown happened.
He would send me Snapchat's and texts now unless I message he doesn't.
This morning I sent him a snap and he just replied "ha"
Normally he would start a conversation
Would you even bother to continue trying to start a conversation?
I'm assuming he's chatting to others or just can't be bothered anymore.

No, leave it

Windmillwhirl · 13/11/2020 10:10

I'd leave it. He doesn't seem overly bothered so you shouldn't either

gamerchick · 13/11/2020 10:11

I'd leave it. Couldn't be bothered with that.

itsxmas · 13/11/2020 10:14

I can't be bothered tbh.
He started off full of conversation and now it's clear he can't be arsed.
At least meet me before you sack me off Grin

No leave it. Tinder is not the best platform either if you are after a 'proper' relationship.

KylieKoKo · 13/11/2020 10:28

I would leave it for now. It's unfortunate timing but you haven't even met so it's hard to maintain a conversation. Maybe you can get back in touch in December, assuming you're keen to meet him.

itsxmas · 13/11/2020 10:30

It is as you run out of things to talk about.
You having a good day?
Work busy ?
I can understand why it becomes mundane

DianaT1969 · 13/11/2020 10:33

Interesting that neither of you suggested a socially distanced walk outside? Why is that?

itsxmas · 13/11/2020 10:39

@DianaT1969 he lives a 30 min train ride away plus he works mon-fri till 7pm

Blimey, internet has changed things. I used to live 1 hr 40 minutes away from DH and we still saw each other every weekend and at least once during. A 30 minute train commute for a date would be nothing.

But anyway, he doesn't sound keen, so best let him go.

itsxmas · 13/11/2020 11:34

How can people not be keen when they haven't even had a date yet?
Is this what happens ?

People are flaky nowadays and it’s instant gratification or nothing sadly. Don’t waste your precious time on them anymore op!

notsurewhattodo22 · 13/11/2020 11:56

Oh my don't go there, sould destroying.

My ex took 3 months to meet me, was a complete mindfuck and makes you feel awful to boot

Bigjohn0 · 13/11/2020 13:57

@itsxmas leave it, it's his loss

PandemicImpact · 13/11/2020 14:54

@itsxmas yes, this is exactly what happens.

You / the guy are speaking to say 5 people. They get put into a pecking order of sorts (let's say in this case you were top of the pecking order). Then a new person comes along - chat starts to dwindle - this is because you aren't top anymore.

Its at this point you move on. Each and every time.

DianaT1969 · 13/11/2020 14:57

Yes, a man who can't be bothered with a 30 min train ride at the weekend is never going to set your world on fire 😂

Captnip500 · 13/11/2020 15:37

OP I have done quite a bit of online dating and in my experience this is extremely common. I can’t tell you that the amount of men I have started a conversation with only to have it phase out after a few days, it away absolutely standard online dating behaviour. I have been on both ends of it and generally it’s because one of you has started talking to someone else who they they find more interesting/ has more potential. Just move on and start looking at others, it’s always good to be talking to a few different guys anyway do you don’t get too invested in one only for this to happen.

DrDetriment · 13/11/2020 15:42

@Requinblanc I met my DP on tinder and we now live together so it can work.

In this case OP I'd leave it. He doesn't sound that bothered.

itsxmas · 13/11/2020 16:31

I think I got too invested.
Maybe it would have been different if we had of had a date.
Nevermind

OP posts:
Bigjohn0 · 13/11/2020 16:35

@itsxmas he's not worth a date if he can't be bothered to travel 30mins

itsxmas · 13/11/2020 16:52

Would you ask him why he isn't chatty ?

OP posts:
Bigjohn0 · 13/11/2020 16:54

@itsxmas no just leave it and move on x

LaurenTom · 13/11/2020 17:14

Def not be asking him he's made it clear he can't be arsed. Fuck that not worth worrying about

itsxmas · 13/11/2020 17:16

Yeah true plus don't want to appear desperate do I.
His loss.

OP posts:
HollowTalk · 13/11/2020 17:18

No, don't ask him. I'm a firm believer in letting them reveal themselves as the person they really are, not the one that you want them to be.
