Search Results: meeting new people relationship

I began speaking to him on a dating app earlier last week. I didn’t answer consistently at first cuz he wasn’t asking questions and was basic. I was blunt with him about it going no where and the conversation picked up. We are scheduled to have lunch this weekend and meet up.

He told me at 1st that he was looking to meet new people and see where it went. I said I wanted the same but I don’t like hookups. And he said he’d prefer to not hook up either but isn’t opposed to it if it ever came up.

He has bad relationship history (cheating ex’s) and I mentioned that I have trust issues too (as a joke). And he said he hates dating and isn’t in the state of mind to date. And I asked him what he defined as dating. He said having a girlfriend.

So I asked again if all he wanted was a hook up and he said no. He is open to meeting someone to date/be in a relationship with. He is taking it as it comes apparently.


We have spoken via Snapchat everyday and he has never said anything inappropriate or implying he wants sex so far. The only thing that stands out is: he has 2 shirtless pics on his dating app AND goes to bed super early on the weekdays. Like 9:00 AM. For “work”. I’d say it’s because he probably has a girlfriend lol

I met this guy a few months ago. Everything was going so well and we talked online for a whole month before meeting and he seemed so keen. We had two dates in person that went really well and on the second date we kissed for a long time. He told me afterwards that he was scared of commitment and didn't want a relationship. After our dates he wanted to meet as friends to see a movie but I decided it would be best to have some time apart. He thanked me for being so understanding and I went no contact for a month. Then one night I noticed he'd changed his status to in a relationship with someone. I was so angry because I thought he had commitment issues and now he's in a relationship? I finally contacted him to say I was happy for him and he blocked me!!! So I texted him a few times as I was panicking... He said if I contacted him again he'd call the police! So I went no contact again and it's been two months now. I thought about him on Christmas day and new years eve. Still no messages from him. He's still in a relationship with someone else and it hurts so much. I've tried to move on and I've been on dating sites talking to other people but no one compares to him. He was perfect to me and I don't feel like I could ever be happy with someone else. What do I do? Can I do anything to get him back?
