I have been seeing a guy for just over 3 months, we see each other weekly (due to the distance we live and work etc) and text every day all manner of things from photos of where we are (both been on holiday separately since we met), selfies (normal I’m in the car or out with the dogs etc) to sexy talk, work, whatever we think of really.

Sometimes both of us leave large gaps between replying but usually due to work/commitments etc only hours not days etc. we have messaged everyday since we met.

We share reels, memes etc and today i see a reel - something like ‘the universe gives you the person you need’ - he replied ‘tell me more’ so I took this as an invite to kinda state my feelings (not love!!) but how I really liked him, great sex felt we have a good connection and I’m excited for the future!

so far, message not seen and no reply - we are 2 hours out - first time Iv sent a text bricking it in years 😂

wish me luck ladies!

Good luck!!

It's Friday night - is he out with friends and not checking his phone so often in company?

Or might simply be digesting the information and needs some time to formulate a response.

Is the first time either of you expressed how you feel?

Sounds like you've really fallen for him. I hope he comes back with an equally positive message...

PorkPieForStarters · 07/10/2022 22:39

Ooh exciting, good luck, promise us you'll share an update!

Pumpkinpatchlookinggood · 07/10/2022 22:39

Good luck op.

Narwhalelife · 07/10/2022 22:40

Thanks everyone!

@Devon01 I really like him, but I know it’s early days still but no harm in saying it how it is - nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose - we have said lovely things to each other, we say ‘I miss you etc’ so hoping not a total shock but still nothing in a whole paragraph 😂😂

I'm excited and nervous for you. Nothing like the beginnings of a new relationship and you're right, absolutely nothing wrong with laying it out there. Why keep it a secret

CourtneeLuv · 07/10/2022 22:45

🤞

Trees6 · 07/10/2022 22:51

Wtstever the outcome, you’ve done the right thing in telling him how you feel.

pictish · 07/10/2022 22:52

I’ll wait it out with you. Friday night with a cup of decaf going on here. Hope you get a great response.

Still unread, but know he is busy tonight - hoping he gets in reads it and loves it but really trying not to overthink it 🙈

Bellagio40 · 07/10/2022 23:11

He will love it OP. Don’t worry

plumpeach2 · 07/10/2022 23:23

Aww this made me smile. I know I’d be bricking it too 😭😂 I so hope you get the response you want!!!

Narwhalelife · 07/10/2022 23:28

He has replied - but literally too nervous to open it!!! 🙈

Off to pour a gin - have a look and will report back!

PinkPrettyAndPointed · 07/10/2022 23:30

Here for the update!

I'm sure it will be good @Narwhalelife 🙂

RosalindsAFuckingNightmare · 07/10/2022 23:31

Shamelessly placemarking to see his response!

Narwhalelife · 07/10/2022 23:34

‘I couldn’t have said it better myself, maybe you can read my mind?’

‘we need to live properly and we do it so well together’

happy dancing 😂

**must resist the urge not to ask him to marry me 😂😂😂😂
