Aibu 6 months ago I matched with a guy in line and we really got along , he's the first bloke in 5 years I actually fancied .
We had a date - he lives abkut 2 hours away and came and stayed at a local b&b to meet me . We got on really really well . He asked me to stay the night with him but I didn't and went home . We continued to text - he said he really liked me and fancied me but said the distance was an issue so I left it . I didn't block him and he didn't block me .
We messaged a bit over next few months - just as friends . He then said he had found someone locally and was giving it a go . I left it at that .
I signed up to hinge dating last week and he matched with me .
I messaged asking if he meant to - he said yes of course .
I said you have my number - you could have just messaged ! He said the local girl hadn't worked out . Had issues . He said he didn't dare message me as didn't know what I was doing .
I really really like him . He's absolutely gorgeous looking . But I've stayed cool . He said he feels quite damaged from his last long term relationship. I said no problem- we can just stay in touch as friends .
I don't mind being in touch . I've been single way longer than him . He seems conflicted and confused but he also seems quite decent .
I'm actually at a point I'm absolutely happy alone . I've a great
Social life , going away with a friend in April and again in September and I'm truly ok single .
I have an amazing job which I love and I have loads of freedom in . I choose my hours. I'm well paid . I don't really want for anything.
Would you remain in touch with the bloke ?
If he decides he wants to try a relationship should I ? I do really like him and he's the only bloke I've fancied online in 5 years! I'm ok if it does t progress. I don't mind sporadic contact as friends .
Opinions please ?
