Amazing first date but then he sent me this message.

I met a lovely guy on Hinge, and had the most wonderful date. It ended with us saying we’d like to meet again. There were a few messages back and forth afterwards, and then he sent me this. My friends are divided on what he means. I think it’s the start of breadcrumbing.

“So I need to be completely open with you and I hope we can align our schedules but this will probably require a bit of patience so I apologise in advance. I typically have a very busy schedule, with kids, work can often very demanding time wise, varied friends and I tend to be an active individual. I’m sure you do to, which I think is great. Now I personally don’t see this as a bad thing but people have struggled with it in the past so I think it’s only fair to tell you. My good friends tease me about it. It’s just who I am, life is full of adventure. Now I’m happy to be patient, we’ll definitely find windows of opportunity.”

Good riddance to the twat

downfall or bullet dodging, OP, with a dose of amusement and learning about ego-dimensions and self-importance? Unless I'm under-estimating the magnitude of adventure in golf, running and Care Nero?

Good luck with the next.

I realise texting is the modern way of communicating, and I see you've resolved the situation, but it's a poor way of communicating. Perhaps in future, if you're unsure of the meaning of a text, you actually speak to the person instead? It's so much easier to clarify things that way.

This wouldnt be appropriate when they have no relationship, he chose to t3xt her and spent a long time over the t3xt. He wanted to carefully construct his message and press send. He didnt want to ring her to relegate her and who would appreciate that being done over the phone.

OP did the right thing not ringing this guy. He wouldnt have picked up i suspect.
