A quick update on developments with me.
Mr Slow Texter - date zero tomorrow afternoon, walking/coffee local to me.
True to his name, we haven't had much communication at all and I was starting to think he had forgotten about me or had changed his mind. We finally confirmed time and place this morning.
We have an interest in common, he can spell and punctuate, he looks good in his pictures and is quite tall. He initiated the date, albeit slowly. That's pretty much all I know about him so I'm keeping my mind open and expectations low.
Mr Nightshift - marched and started chatting earlier this week. Initially seemed keen, and texts were warm and friendly. Two texts a day which felt manageable and not too demanding.
Late in the week his location on Bumble shifted to 70 miles away so I think he may just have been visiting my city and lives somewhere else 🤔 He's also not responded to my last message sent yesterday, when I asked whether he works here and commutes to work as a possible explanation for the sudden location change.
I'm starting to suspect he may be looking for a penpal, or be married or in a LTR. I'm going to take a wait and see approach, bit not feeling very hopeful.
Mr Breadcrumbs - I've agreed to go with him to the event he invited me to in 3 weeks time.
I'm not sure if I've made the right decision tbh. We met for lunch last week, sensibly decided that we're looking for different things and then spent the next hour or so sitting on a park bench together talking, snogging and holding hands.
I feel like my head and heart are doing the right thing but my body keeps letting the side down. I feel like I'm sliding into FWB territory which is exactly what he offered 3 months ago and I turned down. Also, I think my own unavailability is making this going nowhere situationship feel like quite a tempting prospect.
