So close to giving up on dating completely!!!!

I’ve been talking to a guy I met on hinge for about a month now. We hit it off instantly and have been chatting every day. More recently we started to FaceTime, chat all day, send pics of our days and what we were up to, and finding out we had lots in common. We had to wait 4 weeks until we met up for a walk and we were really excited to meet. We both made it clear we were looking for something and we both mentioned how well we clicked when we first FaceTimed. It was so exciting!

Finally on the weekend we got to meet for a walk. He was texting beforehand saying how excited he was. And for me the date was amazing!!!! We spoke for hours and hours, the conversation was flowing. He gave little hints about how he liked me and wanted to see me again, such as saying places he wants to take me for a date when things open again. He also mentioned bubbling together so we can see each other again. I’ve honestly never laughed so much as I did when I was with him.
At the end of the date, he said he had the best time and suggested seeing me Wednesday (so 3 days later) and seemed really keen. It ended really really well and he said he couldn’t wait to see me again.

Since then he’d been a bit quiet but he still seemed interested and said he was looking forward to Wednesday.
Last night (Tuesday) we had a FaceTime planned for the evening to watch a film but I heard nothing from him all afternoon/evening. This was really out of character for him, and he didn’t turn up for the scheduled FaceTime, but I wasn’t too bothered because I thought well at least I’m seeing him tomorrow.

Didn’t hear a peep until 12:30pm today, when I was meant to have already left to meet him, and he eventually sends a pretty blunt text basically saying he’s sorry but he’s going to have to postpone because he’s been up with the poorly dog all night and that he’s sorry to bail so late.

I replied and since then I’ve heard absolutely nothing from him which is really really odd and I don’t think this has ever happened since we started talking. I’m completely baffled and I have literally no idea where he’s gone or what’s happened? I really want to believe him but his attitude has completely changed and he’s never not texted me all day. He still indicated high interest after the date and honestly I’m really cut up about this and really upset. What on earth has happened and what do I do here??

It's happened to us all. It's about him not you. Next time though don't chase- those few text messages after the last one he sent can seem to confirm to men to not bother. They are wired differently to women

He’s probably married and got huge guilt. How old is he?

@confused67 October 19 I separated from my ex, but he continued to harass me about getting back together, two weeks before Christmas it got a lot worse, so I let him back so he didn't ruin the Christmas with all the crying and begging etc.

Throughout November and half of December he was talking to other women regularly, while he was living in a Travelodge.

So they didn't have an idea he was still linked to me. Or begging me back etc

He obviously didn't contact them for the two weeks because he was with me, or he lowered the contact.

27th I kicked him out for good, a week later I finally reported him. ( didn't want to involve police etc.)

Obviously mine situation is more extreme, but there is loads of this stuff on dating app.

I actually two months back spoke to a guy for a few days, but something didn't feel right. He then added me on insta, I saw his full name, put it in fb and boom he has a gf and baby.

This isn't about you sadly, it's all them.

You didn't do anything wrong, or act in the wrong way. Continue to look and take this as experience.
