I’m autistic so I miss red flags - please don’t shout at me and say I’m an idiot.
Though an unusual set of circumstances I met this guy online. He is not in the U.K. I ended up talking to him - nothing like a dating site or anything like that. I actively avoid all dating sites in the U.K. or otherwise.
anyway we have become quite close from video chatting. I do feel a big connection with him. It’s different somehow. He’s fine when I’m talking to him and he has this lovely expression in his face . We have been talking about meeting but can’t at the moment because of flying restrictions. Although that’s obviously possibly going to change soon.
The time difference means that he might text me at 3am my time so I’m asleep of course, or I might wake up reply & then fall back to sleep. This seems to trigger him into a sulk / depressed mood and he’ll start saying that we’ll never end up meeting and how sad he is. Then he’s posting on social media about how he’s never someone’s priority, only an option. After speaking to me, he’s ok again.
I do really like him and he’s lovely to talk to but I’m thinking this isn’t a good sign at all. He needs constant reassurance. He lost his little girl about 5 years ago so maybe that trauma has been the reason.
