Just wanted to check to see what people's views on my current dating situation are.

I met this guy on hinge and we hit it off really well, probably the best connection I've had with a guy so far based on our situation with our kids, both having neurodiversity and general compatibility.

However, I may have overlooked some red flags, his relationship with his ex and mother of his kids ended due to him having an affair with a work colleague, his explanation of why this happened I could relate to and was prepared to accept this as at my age (45) I feel it's becoming more unrealistic to meet anyone without any kind of baggage, whatever that may be.

But he did have a relationship with the woman he had an affair with after his separation but explained it was very toxic and that's why he ended it.

He has been super attentive, maybe a bit intense sometimes but does admit this is his personality and I can be equally intense myself.

Anyway things have been ticking along ok, I've been away on holiday with my kids and he's been constantly checking in on me to make sure I'm coping ok. We were meant to see each other this past weekend but he said his ex is giving him some grief about seeing his kids. But now, he's gone AWOL, my messages on his phone aren't delivered for 3 days now, I'm not blocked but it just seems like quite bizarre behaviour. I have no way of contacting him now and I'm just not sure what to think? Is he still alive? Why would he have his phone off for days?

I wouldn't waste even one second giving a shit where he is or what he's doing. Block him and move on with your life. Consider yourself lucky for dodging a bullet.

It's just so disappointing but also very predictable, I think I need to take a break from dating 😭

First response nails it.

Dont give this dickhead any more head space. The red flags you disregarded were real

He doesn’t sound like much of a catch he cheated so he’s a liar as well and he is unreliable… sorry OP best to move on

Gah, and I thought my gauge was good on this one, back to the drawing board 😭
