Advice on “the ick”

Finally dipped my toe in the dating pond and got chatting to a guy I thought was lovely. We really clicked and everything seemed to be going well.

We met up a few times and the last time we met something changed for me, I’ve gone from acting like a love struck teenager with him to feeling disgusted every time he messages me. The sad part is he’s still acting like a love struck teenager and it’s putting me off him even more. I feel so bad.

After our last date he wanted to meet up the next evening which he knew I couldn’t for childcare reasons so he tried to invite himself to mine.

He then started saying how as my plans had changed for the weekend could he see me then. Also then wanted to know what I’m doing in a couple of weeks for my birthday and could he take me out.

These things all sound sweet but I now feel like I’m suffocating, I’m finding it way too much 😂😅 I’m now dodging his many calls and messages, he’s definitely noticing.

Anyone else experience this? How do I let him down gently, I feel so bad as he seems lovely but I don’t think I can get back the attraction and this is too intense too soon for me.

I know what I need to do I think I just hate upsetting people

You need to get over feeling like this. It isn’t you “upsetting” someone, it’s you ending a very short relationship, which you have every right to do. He sounds annoying and there are possibly some warning signs, like moaning about how far away you live. Use the words a PP suggested above. He isn’t going to be heartbroken and cry for a month. If he does, it’s his problem.
