went on 2 great dates with a guy from Hinge last week. We clicked and share common goals. However, he lives where my Dad and his family resides and where I used to work, causing discomfort due to family issues.
After my parents' recent split, I've avoided those areas for mental well-being. Although I briefly mentioned my family situation, we had a second date where the connection felt stronger than any in the past six months. Yet, the idea of spending time at his place, given its location, was a concern.
He lives near my family's workplace, and despite the strong connection, I realized this might pose challenges. So, despite enjoying our time together,
I decided to convey this on Friday morning, saying I wasn't 100% feeling the spark.
As discussing my family/work history seemed complex. After 2 dates. He read my text promptly, but we haven't unmatched on Hinge.
So, I sent the text and saw that he had read it pretty much straight away, but he didn't block me.
However, yesterday I had to spend the whole day on my own, and as I was talking/swiping with others, all I could think about was him.
I can't stop crying, like proper broken-hearted crying, to the point where I just want to sit, watch cheesy rom-com films, and do nothing, which apart from to eat and shower I've done ever since.
I'm really wishing I had never sent the text now. I know two dates aren't much, and we could have gone on more dates and found out we're not the right match, but now I feel like I'll never know.
Do you think I've completely blown my chances with him?
He told me his sister & partner are coming down for the weekend, so I know he's not alone.
But like, what do I say in a text? If he lived in any other area in my city, it wouldn't have been a problem.
It's just the thoughts of seeing family and old work people at the local shops etc & be bombarded with stuff was the only reason I sent the text.
I also get that he might never want to talk me as it was a pretty shit move to make.'
