Met this guy on OLD. Been talking for a few weeks now and have met up once, plan to meet up next week too. Prior to meeting the first time, i feel we got on really well via chats etc otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered meeting him if I didn’t feel we clicked. We both speak and understand Sarcasm fluently lol. I noticed his honesty early on which i like.
We chat and talk a few times a week. However during our last conversation, he mentioned being worried about me, another conversation led to this. He feels he might “corrupt” me. After asking him to explain what he meant, he said he felt as im religious he uses swear words, that i might find offensive. Fyi this is not him hurling abuses at someone, it’s more taking a jab at himself so far that ive seen which to me is fine and he hasn’t even used words like that a lot. He wants to be able to be himself and not be overly conscious of what he says and pick his word carefully. Then he said he secretly feels i might not see it as a problem, but just worried. I dont think I’ve given any vibe that it could be a problem, i mean i use swear words but occasionally and not in his presence yet.
He seems interested as he would still check up on me and we still talk but Im of two minds. Is he secretly trying to let me down gently, or not? I feel he might be trying to self sabotage as he’s made comments in the past that makes me think so. His last relationship was a LTR.
I like him but of course I still need to get to know him better. It would be a bit premature to “throw this one back, no?”.
