Matched on a dating app. Both late 20s. I work in UK full time whereas he is in the army. Talked for 2-3 months every day while he was overseas, mixture of message and video chats.
I enjoyed our conversations. He’s a cool guy. And although some life goals we have in common, our social, lifestyle, family background, are so so different.
my family background is kind of higher net worth, early retirement, and networking , (networking all the time…) whereas his are going to the pubs, night out, chilling out, walking, hiking…etc.
I’ve been on dates with guys in my circle but I just can’t. Just the similar lifestyle, I found it boring and most of them are.. well not nice. He’s the first guy I thought was quite genuine.
anyway due to a family bereavement, I was going through a tough time so I chatted less. I was really sad at the time. Anyway we continued talking but my head just wasn’t in the right headspace.
after a few weeks, I felt better and got back into my routine with family support. But I just felt like I something isn’t right. I’m no saint, I’m quite materialistic so I don’t know if my lifestyle and his align. So I called it quits. Unfriended him.
however since then, I think about him a weekly basis. Sometimes even daily. Wondering what he’s doing. Today wearing a poppy I think of him… ughhh what should I do? I feel like just move on.
we had first dates all set up. Was gonna mail him a box of well being stuff to his military base. I feel like a horrible person for calling it quits when I wasn’t sure then now months later I’m maybe regretting it.
