OLD - to message or just let it fizzle?

I’ve been messaging a guy from Hinge since about mid March. He lives in my home city and I will be moving back soon, which he knew from the beginning.

Because of the distance and both of us being on holiday at different times, we’ve only had two dates in this time. Which is fine but I’m just getting a bit fed up and think he might be too. I would like to see him properly once I move but that’s probably not going to be until September now. He will keep the message convo going but won’t ever ask when I’m going to be home next/make plans to meet, it’s always my suggestions.

Also (this is probably my own insecurities) he follows/is followed by SO MANY girls on Instagram, so I do wonder if he’s a serial messager/dater.

Anyway - I’m not sure how to approach this? I would like to message over letting it fizzle but just not sure what to say/how to bring it up?! 😬 WWYD if you were me?

I'd leave it tbh. I've never done OLD, but if he's not doing the chasing I would say "he's just not that into you"

Also, a man following loads of women on Instagram, without a legitimate business/social reason, would just put me right off him

Thanks - honestly I hate OLD but it’s so difficult to meet organically now! Just feels like constant mind games.

I wouldn't bother, it takes two to keep it alive, if he's not asking questions and trying to make plans to meet you, it shouldn't be just you suggesting to meet, then he's not that interested, the following lots of girls would be a deal breaker. He's the creepy kind that's always on the look out.
