Does his “I’d like to get to know you better” reply mean real interest?

[MissSunshine2]

I met a new man on a dating app. I asked if we knew each other, because he looked familiar. The man responded that he wasn’t sure, but that he’d definitely like to get to know me better.

We obviously all know that those dating applications are actually hookup sites and nothing more.

So, anyone on any of those "dating sites" is actually not really looking for a long lasting relationship (10+ years) but more for short lived (less than 5 years) hook up relationships.

If you ask a guy that is desperate enough to be on such a site if you know each other. Of course he will jump at the occasion to find an excuse to get to know you better. Obviously, he not really interested in you as a person but more in what is hidden by your clothing. Once he got you where he wants and that he has used you for his physical pleasure, you can rest assured that you will just join the long list of victims that fell for his scheme.

Where can I meet better men these days?

[SueShe]

If you want to meet better men these days, then dating sites are obviously not the right place. Nothing replaces meeting people in real life rather than on a platform where the information they give are most often falsified just to attract a potential victim.

If you meet people in real life, you can assess them for yourself by asking specific and targeted question and observing their behavior and facial expressions which is something you cannot on a social platform.

Take a hobby or join a club where you can meet people that share the same interests as you do. There you may have better chances because you already have a common interest.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll do that once I’ve finished my studies. You seem pretty spot on about men on these apps.

[SueShe]

Sorry if I came a little harsh on you.

[MissSunshine2]

Not at all. I needed and was ready for the advice. 🙂💕

It's hard to tell what his intentions are

[William7489]

Absolutely. Anytime a guy goes out of his way to talk to you that he wants to see you, spend time with you, get to know you better, etc. He is low-key saying that he sees potential for you two. Don’t be gun shy if you’re interested because I doubt he would say something like that if he was not interested in you at all

[genericname85]

obviously it does. whether that interest is "just for sex" or whatever else can't be said at this point tho.

[MissSunshine2]

I can’t read whether or not people are genuinely interested. It’s confusing. I’m Autistic.

[MissSunshine2]

Does it also imply that we’re already known to each other?

[genericname85]

well we're all in the same boat in that regard. "not being autisitc" doesn't help you know what people want. especially since people may be intentionally missleading about their intentions in order to get what they actually want. so there's big uncertainty for everyone. like take it just for what it litterally says. he wants to get to know you. it doesn't say anything about his intentions beyond that or in "what ways" he wants to get to know you better. it's a vague statement of general interest and nothing more than that. if you want to know more, you'll have to invest some time to figure out his intentions.
