Thoughts on tinder date

28 replies

I’ve met someone on tinder and they seem really nice we went on a date for coffee on Tuesday and then went back to his place and just cuddled and watched tv which is bizarre I know but after they date which lasted 9 hours when I was leaving he said he would like to see me again. The day after the date I messaged him to say have a good day and thanks for the previous night he said he would like to meet up again but later he messaged to say he didn’t want a relationship at the minute as he was going through some grief following death and traumatic experiences which we did touch upon whilst on our date, but said that he liked me and fancied me. I’m confused about the situation and asked if he would like to get to know each other more maybe go for a walk next week and he said yeah he will confirm tomorrow when he gets his rota. Am I overthinking things here I get the feeling maybe he isn’t being honest and can’t tell me he doesn’t like me?

Shag yes - relationship no.
That is the long and short of it basically.

Yes I have to agree.

This sounds like a complete bin fire tbh

‘bizarre’ - no he was building up false intimacy and hoping for a shag out of it. Why on earth would you even go back to a bloke’s place after coffee?

then he trauma dumped you, and wants to take you for a walk around the park like you are something from Borrow My Doggy, before he hits you with the ‘come back to mine’ for some pity sex

It’s just all tragic. nothing about this is charming, romantic or thoughtful, and he sounds pretty mentally unwell at best, or trying to ‘open up to you’ as a tactic. Why do you WANT this man to like you? Don’t you think you deserve better than this?

move onto the next one, and expect better

This.

Online dating is brutal you have my sympathies.

He is happy to have some company and intimacy whether that involves sex straight away or talking about personal stuff, but doesn't want a relationship. He couldn't have been more honest really. Up to you if you want to play counsellor and eventually shag him but he's let you know the score.
