Friend but maybe something more but mixed signals?

First off I wouldn't wait a few days to message him back. It won't help your anxiety and it'll just mess with your mind.

Be direct, ask him whats going on and if hes okay. Maybe something has happened to someone he cares about during this difficult time? If this is the case then he knows that you care and that your thinking of him. If not then you gave him the chance to be honest and for him not to mess you about. No one needs those types of games right now.

Lol don’t fret. This literally happened to me as well. Has happened a few times. I don’t have enough info of what you said actually said to him but rest assured that people on dating apps do it all the time. It is common courtesy to tell someone before just ignoring them but when you’re trying to get to know 5 or 10 different people, you don’t really keep up with that stuff

He also may have just found someone else who’s an easier catch IF he’s looking for just sex. Like why get messy if you’re after one thing ?

Or he could just be busy dealing with something else since it’s only been a bit.

I’d say give him the exact attention he gives you and don’t put yourself too much on a limb if he’s not really doing the same.

Also guys seem to like a chase so if you’re giving them too much at once, they get bored or uninterested and move on. I’ve had a guy told me I need to be more mysterious Lol *cue tears*

But yeah I get anxious easily too. I’ve been back and forth on this rollercoaster so many times that I’ve learn not to expect too much

Like normally I'm not fussed with guys but he seemed to take a real interest me in me and called me nice things which I rarely get so the whole situation is just messing with my anxiety so bad

Don’t sweat it. Like someone else suggested, message him asking if he’s okay and leave it at that. Even if he seemed interested, he’s not worth stressing your head over if he’s ghosting you now. And if he really is going through something, he may not have the time or mentally be in the right place to converse with others.

Try speaking to other people. These things do happen, it’s common where they butter you up good and then leave you hanging.

I messaged him yesterday asking if he's alright but I've not heard anything. He's been online cos he's changed his profile picture. I dont know he just seemed really interested and now I'm just kinda deflated because of it

Don’t be. He was probably buttering you up to get into your pants. Sad to say but you might’ve been an easy target because he told you what you wanted to hear like boosting you. Like I said, it happens all the time on dating apps so don’t think you’re the problem. There are a lot of horn balls out there, more so now because they’re stuck at home with no action.

I’ve taught myself to give only the same energy I receive but hold no grudge. If he’s ignoring you then it’s his lost 😊

Like I wouldn't have minded cos I'm always up to go with the flow but I just thought he was genuine. Typical that the good looking ones are ********s. I just get too invested in people and then my mind and my anxiety goes in hand and makes me go crazy with thinking what I did wrong. Just annoying really

Haha yeah, I’m the same. So bad so that I always try to fix whatever I thought I did wrong and end up giving myself the short end. I also prefer directness but a lot of people find that deceit works for them especially if they’re trying to get someone who’s good looking. I’ve had a guy told me straight up I’m a cool girl but he’s literally an F boy looking to get laid and so won’t waste my time anymore since he could tell I wasn’t up for the same😂😂😂 I love that kind of honesty. And it’s not even only the good looking ones. The guys that don’t normally get anything use the opportunity to swing naive people under the guise of looking for something but no one giving them the time of day. There’s really no way around it Lol

Yeah you're probably right. It just sucks cos lockdown is **** and I thought I had somone nice to talk to while all this is going on and have something to look forward to. I'm secretly hoping he's just busy and he is interested. I just need more friends me

Yeah this lock down is getting to everyone. So it’d honestly be smarter to look for friends during this time instead of a relationship. I’ve given up for right now on dating apps. Tired of hearing “send nudes” 😭

Thats the thing! I matched with him on the friend side and it turned into kinda flirty datey stuff. Its too confusing for my mentally messed up lil lockdown mind

Lol same. Would be easier if people were more direct

Lol same. Would be easier if people were more direct

Think I'm gonna give him a few days and I'll fob him off after that if he doesn't reply. I think that's fair

Go for it. Anything with the least amount of regrets

I've asked him when I message him if he's OK and stuff but he doesn't tend to answer back to that tbh so it just confuses the f out of me
