Do I chase him?

So, you'd never guess I was a fully functioning adult woman of 48 with a divorce and dating behind me when you read this... I sound like a confused teenager.

At the beginning of lockdown I joined Meetup and kept running into a guy there who I got on well with, lots of cheeky banter on both sides. I was seeing someone which I was open about. Had the odd private message on the Meetup site, but when the pubs closed I didn't see him again for 18 months, I stopped going to any events.

Few weeks ago I get a private message from him saying he'd been thinking of me, hoped I was well and did I want to go to a Sunday Meetup outing with him, he'd come and pick me up. I'm single now. Once again got on brilliantly, and at the end there was a quick kiss on the lips. I sent the odd message about something we'd discussed, and he replied, but nothing flirty. Two weeks later he queried if I was going to the next event and I decided to, and offered him a lift this time. Similarly, got on well, and he invited me in for a coffee. He told me he's too old for me (14 years older, but our kids are similarly aged), but they told me he goes for younger women. And I think he's on Match so looking.

When I left another kiss on the lips, and yes we'll see each again at some point etc etc...haven't had any messages since.

Next Sunday we are both child free but there's no Meet up event planned.

I'm annoyed because we get on really easily and well, and what's with the kisses...

I just have to chalk him down to not interested in anything more don't I?

I sort of “chased “ my dp. We’ve been together 3 yrs now and have plans for the future.

We don’t live in the 50’s anymore.

He can only say no and there is no shame on you if he does.
You then know to move on and stop wasting your time on him.

Fs mate. Stop stressing. Just invite phone whatever.
At least you’ll find out
