So I met a man online we spent a week or so messaging on the app before swapping numbers.
I was keen to meet quickly but he wanted us to get to know each other before our first date.
The compromise was we would have a chat on the phone and if that went well would arrange a date.
We spent 8 hours on the phone and it felt like no time at all. We spoke daily on the phone (2-3hrs easily). So we arranged a date for the following weekend. It was just a casual walk, but he asked to see me that evening too. I was keen for this.
We went bowling and had a few drinks, neither one of us wanted the date to end so I invited him to mine. He was a total gentleman the most we shared was a kiss but again spent hours talking. Since then we have spent more time together and when not together are messaging or speaking on the phone.
On paper it's only been a few weeks since we started chatting but it feels like it's been much longer. We are taking it slow physically, we both want it to be right. We've also mentioned we're not chatting with or dating other people but not labelled anything.
How do I know if this is genuine or if it's love bombing? How soon is too soon to know if it's going somewhere?
