Should I tell this guy before our date on Friday that I'm waiting for marriage?

[Anonymous]

We met today in a dating app. We only exchanged a few messages. We were both very flirty and straight to the point. We set up a date immediately. But the thing is I'm waiting for marriage and I don't know when to tell him. I was thinking asap but I don't know?

yes. say it as soon as you can. it'll weed out those only wanting a hook up and those who don't believe in waiting. saves you both time.

I'm texting a few other guys on the dating app. When should I mention I'm waiting for marriage? If it don't mind giving me advice, please and thank you. We've only exchanged a few messages so far. One of them I'm having a funny amusing/flirty conversation so I don't want to put a damper on it. by the way is it slutty to flirt? It's crazy but I always thought I never knew how to flirt but these flirty ideas are coming to my head out of no where and it's really fun. But I'm not saying anything sexual but you know I feel like the guy could make it go there because my flirty message could be taken in anyway. Like the last flirting message I sent was, "You get an A for effort. But what is my reward? 🤔" I wanted to see what kind of witty reply he would come up with. But then when I looked at that flirty line I realized that can be taken sexually. I wasn't thinking about that just having fun and being playful.

Can a girl waiting for marriage flirt? I feel like it doesn't go hand in hand.

If you don't mind giving me advice*

I wouldn't be telling him that , he will be running before it starts , none waits for marriage anyhow , even if they say they are , lighten up and just go on the date.

Good idea to get that out of the way let’s see if he sticks around

Will it ruin the date? We have a hike and picnic set up to watch the sun settle at theis nice hiking spot

If it ruins the date then it’s not meant to be is it because he’s just looking for sex if he cares he’ll hang around

I told him last night around 12am. It's 1pm now and I still haven't heard back from him. Is it weird that he's taking so long to reply back? Why does he need to think about it for so long? I feel hurt just by the fact he hasn't replied and he's taking forever to reply.
