He runs a social group

I met a man through a social group that he runs. As time has gone on he has devoted a lot of time in running the group and putting events on. He said he created the group as people were lonely in lockdown without any real friends and coming out of lockdown they can make friends.

He recently said he does not feel sad or happy but feels empty so don't know if he is using the group to fill a void. I think he suffers from low self esteem and has felt threatened by some of the guys. I think it's good he is making a difference in people's lives.

He said he likes that we share the same vision trying to raise people - I never said that but believe people should be kind. The only thing is he likes me romantically but if we were to become a couple would he be obsessed with running the group still and not have time for me. He said his exes were not happy and banned him from running the group as they felt threatened by the other women.

I don't know why he is so fixated as most people are too busy with their lives to run a social group.

Some people are fixated on their work, or football, or am dram....

if you want to look for someone with loads of free time, that's up to you, but there is often something. I think it's good to have things that really matter to you.

How much time can it possibly take to run one social group?

I think I will find someone who actually has time for me. Last night I was getting abusive texts from an ex 'friend'. This guy asked who I thought it could be. I replied and he has left me unread but he is messaging and commenting to others about pointless things in the group. The incident shook me up and he knows this yet isn't bothered. I think I need someone who has more time and is not a socialite.

Abusive texts? Yikes, sorry to hear that.
