Me and this guy have been talking for months causually and light flirting. We met up a few times... its hard to meet up when we both have kids and work a lot. He planned the first two dates. Then asked me to come over.
I finally got the time, and told him I could come over. I had the date and time set. I'm not going to lie, I am an insecure person. With the 2025 hookup culture and social media, I question men's intentions all the time. I'm not into hooking up.. I want courtship.
I was honest and told him nicely that id love to hang out, but Im just not wanting to hook up. My insecurity got the best of me too, and I said I didn't want him to feel obligated to hang with me. He responded with, "If you had plans just say so." I said I didn't have plans, and that if I didn't care about him then I wouldve ghosted him tonight. He then deleted me.. I'm bummed, I'm not going to lie.. I was hoping for a little reassurance such as, "We can do something! We dont have to hook up."

ASSUMING you were as straight to him as you seemed here, then I wouldn't worry about it. But speaking from a guys point of view. Most courtship in today's dating, goes nowhere for a guy. A woman doesn't get from me unless she gives. And I'm not talking sex, I'm not even talking physical affection (although that would be nice). I'm talking SOMETHING! Something that shows you have any GENUINE interest at all. Something that shows you could give a 💩. Something that shows I'm not just guy number 12 to you.
I'm not saying that's the case with this guy. Even anything it sounds like he did you a favor (whether you're bummed or not right now). Just understand there is the other side. Not just your side.
I totally get what you mean by woman showing that they care. I did show him I cared when I offered to cook for him, and was even willing to drive out far to see him.
He just wanted something casual for sure. Better off not going further as that could've turned out sloppy.
He just wanted to hook up
