I’ve been on three promising dates with a guy from one of the apps. He seems very taken by me and quite full on. He admits to being intense etc which has made me cautious. I’ve been very honest about wanting children and a husband. He has a teenage kid. Last date I told him about my timeline and said I would understand that if it’s too short for him etc that would be ok and we can part ways. He said he is open to a baby with the right partner. Marriage he doesn’t want to rush etc. all fine. We agreed to date and see how things go.
He messaged the next day to say he couldn’t stop thinking about me. We arranged a date for following weekend. Tonight we exchanged a few naughty flirty messages and I jokingly invited him over with a winky face. And he didn’t like this. He said when he suggested Netflix and some alcohol the other week, I didn’t take to it kindly - to be honest, all I did say was I wasn’t looking for just sex. He spent a long time reassuring me he didn’t want just that either. Anyway tonight he said he couldn’t believe I was asking him over etc. I said I was flirting / teasing and not yet but if we continue then definitely he can come over. He then said he was confused. Then he randomly dropped into conversation ‘remember you want kids’ and I said ‘yes?’ And he replied ‘I don’t want kids.’ I said ‘ah ok thanks for letting me know.’
What on Earth happened?
