Lame reply from new man ?

[gardencreations99]

long story short - met a bloke a few weeks ago, I took his number he never had mine, I messaged him, said something like 'Hi how's your day going, hope the rest of your day was good after we chatted' His reply 'hi, yeah day good, did X/Y/Z have a good day xx' and then left it at that. A very closed response. He was all over me when we last spoke he seemed really keen.
Am I reading into this too much ?

😂😂

Op could you take it this has highlighted a need in you ? Look at what your behaviour is telling you?

You desperately want male attention and a relationship. This guys not it. And chasing after scraps and snogs and bullshit lines isn’t it.

Leave this man be now, if he fronts uo on sat fair enough, don’t sleep with him, you’ll feel like shit after. Don’t invite him back, he’s not going to do your self esteem any good.

Can you try on line dating? Habe you tried it before?

So this sounds ageist, but as I'm 65 myself I'll say it - A 58 year old man is not a good bet to hang your future on at your age, quite apart from the utter lack of real interest from him.

There's a school of thought that says a woman should only text first 20% of the time, leave men to instigate contact the other 80%.

A lot of men are put off by women seeming too keen, you need to let him chase, men like that.

You need to be a challenge, most men don't like women that come too easy, they like to feel like they've won something special.

Leave it now, don't text him again.

If he's interested he will be in touch, trust me x

This is a friends with benefits situation sorry. It’s not a relationship

If he's thinking about you all the time, how come he can't think of any questions to ask you?

And btw he'll be retired in the next few years while you'll have 20 years of work. That's one thing in a longstanding relationship but why on earth would you get involved with someone so much older in your early 40s?

Only a few weeks in and he’s already talking about when you will go on holiday together, and if you two lived together. Too much too soon. He’s low level love bombing you.

Be wary but I’d pass on this one.

I think he just wants sex and can’t believe his luck. Don’t contact him anymore and see if he reaches out.

Oh I think he can, he can’t even be arsed asking her questions or properly responding to texts.

I'd say he was with someone or possibly several someones.

OP just try to keep calm and see what happens. People communicate differently. Sometimes these things work out and sometimes they don’t but do try to enjoy yourself in the early stages of a possible relationship if you can.

Sometimes your gut is telling you that something is off but equally that can just be anxiety.

Ignore the MN psychics. Those who somehow know for a fact that he’s ‘not interested’ and is seeing loads of other women etc etc. Some on here love the idea of the desperate woman/uninterested man scenario and will insist they know what he’s thinking just to twist the knife.

Guard your heart, relax, keep in touch with friends and nurture your other interests x
