Should I text him first again or wait?

[Anonymous]

We matched on bumble so I had to be the first to message (the app only allows women to message first. Men cannot do that). So I did, he answered a few hours later. It was middle of the night. He was open and talkative. I was sleepy and probably he was too. So I answered his last question and fell asleep.

The thing is, when we matched I was in his city, on work trip and now I am not anymore. I had my flight this morning and now I am 7 hours away from him (7 hours by car, not by plane LOL). I really like him and felt a connection. Should I message him again if he does not answer or wait for his turn? I think maybe he will lose interest when he will see we are so away from eachother. I do not want to bug him, but I would like to try again. We flirted a bit.

You’re worried about him losing interest over the distance, but how realistic is it for you to even date? 7 hours is slot of distance, a big commitment and who knows if he’s interested in investing in something like that...

I honestly think message him , why not indeed? What's the worst thing that can happen? Talk a bit more , then see if you want to catch up.

the problem is we do not live in the same country. I live exactly at the border of his country so I am not that far, but still 7 hours by car is a lot.

What are the two countries? Its still not that far

He is from Czech Republic and I am from Romania. But my first language is Czech as my mother is from there.

How far apart are you? Is it at all possible that one or the other of you could move? Don't waste time on a "never could be"

[Asker]

As I said, 7 hours by car

Why would you go on a dating app when you're on a work trip 7 hours away from where you live? Unless you were looking for a one-night hookup, that doesn't sound like a smart choice. It's just setting yourself up for an awkward situation.

Just straight up tell him where you live. And see what he says. Maybe that's not an issue for him.
