Should I ask to talk or move on?

[Anonymous]

I was casually seeing someone for 6 months. Would hang out every other week but texted everyday. It felt like we formed a genuine friendship and He knew more about my day and life than anyone else really.

I never saw him as a future relationship tho due to our age difference. I’m 37 and he’s 23. But was enjoying the companionship and thought he was a really good guy.

Recently it seemed that maybe he didn’t view me the same as I viewed him. I would try to initiate getting together other than sex but he would kinda blow it off. So I ignored him a few days and then message him that we’re on diff pages and I’m gonna look for something else. He said “no hard feelings. I respect your decision and enjoying hanging with you. Good luck rest of the summer”.

Now I’m just feeling like this doesn’t sit right with me. 6 months of talking everyday and that’s the end? Would it be wrong to ask to meet and talk or is that too much and I need to just move on and get over it?

Ask to meet and talk

Get over it and move on

Well it seems like he was already losing interest in hanging out with you. You say that’s the whole reason why you sent the text about you being on different pages.

This seems like it was a very casual thing, like just someone to text with. I feel like this is no big loss and now you’re free to put your time into someone who there’s real potential of having a relationship with.

It wasn’t that he was losing interest but it was pretty much like that our entire relationship. He only wanted to hang every other week. Seemed like he kept a strong boundary between what we were and any relationship type stuff. Yet he messaged me everyday. I think that’s what threw it off for me. Felt like we were actually friends but think he just thought of me as a sex toy.

How do you feel about him, in terms of potentially having a long term relationship?

[Asker]

I don’t see that but I was hoping to continue our friendship. Just feels strange not having him in my life anymore.

He is being a jerk

It does feel like that or maybe in his personality. He’s very go with the flow so maybe didn’t want to question? Just sad at how it ended after feeling like we were friends at least.

Wasn’t right …. Cold

Right? That’s what it felt like. Like was this the same guy I was texting everyday for 6 months. Should I say sometbing on that or let it be?
