Just matched with someone on Bumble last week after literally going on to delete my account - so considering him as the last person I was ever going to view :) turns out we actually knew each other as young teens as he went out with one of my friends and I was the shy friend always tagging along (12/13 years old so not exactly serious and not an issue). He's changed a fair bit so didn't immediately recognise him but he recognised me....
Been chatting pretty much non-stop and we seem to get on really well, text conversation just flows, it's a little flirty but not too much and we both seem to be enjoying getting to know more about each other.
He currently works down south but was due to start a working pattern from 31st July that meant he would be away a week and at home a week (literally 5 mins round the corner). We agreed to definitely go on a date when he's next home. However... he's just told me that this isn't starting until October now and he may not be back until then, or if he is will be a flying visit (he has kids so obviously I understand his priority would be to see them).
I'm really looking forward to seeing where this might lead... but I also don't want to appear too keen by saying let's keep talking, maybe video call, etc. before then? I've dated someone in the past in his job so completely understand the separation but I'm worried it sounds weird to suggest this? It also doesn't help that I'm travelling the majority of October so who knows when we might actually meet!
