The ‘slow fade’ after a date

😫

Just a whinge really.

Been off the dating apps for a while (years actually!) but got myself back on them recently.

Met a nice guy and had what I thought was a really good date last Thursday. But apparently not because now he’s doing the all too recognisable ‘slow fade’ out.

So back to swiping I go. Ugh, I hate dating!

You should have been swiping anyway

don’t put all your eggs in basket- they certainly aren’t

I can’t multitask well 😂 And I only have enough chat for one person at a time!

But yes you are right.

Tell us about the date! Need more details :)

It wasn’t very exciting, just casual drinks. But we were chatting from 8pm-ish until 2am!! You know when you can just have a giggle with someone and it’s not difficult at all, it was like that.

Anyway, on to the next one!

What was the plan after the date? Not much need to chat if you have met for real.

You could always speed up the fade by sending a "had a lovely time and wish you all the best" message.

On to the next three!

2am? I reckon he was hoping for sex.

2am? I reckon he was hoping for sex.

That would be my guess too.

I find best to try keep first dates shortish. Even better if you can do them in the daytime.

Definitely hoping for sex and not because you had an amazing connection 🫣
