Search Results: meeting new people relationship

Hi, I just joined marching band and I didn't know anybody because I'm usually very shy around meeting new people and I make new friends very slowely. I started talking to a boy in the band and I could be myself around him and we really connected and we talk all the time. He helps me with a lot of stuff and we are pretty much together a lot. I would consider him a good friend at this point. We have been talking for about 4 days and I know a bunch of his friends now too. He made me less shy and helped me open up around people because he made me comfortable around a bunch of people I didn't know. It's the first time that's ever happened to me. But now I think I am catching feelings for him and I really don't want to because I dont want to screw up the relationship we have now. I'm not good at picking up on if people are flirting but there is a possibility he was flirting with me, and I have no idea if I was doing it back. 😂 but I'm scared to even accept that I have a crush on him in the first place because when I like somebody I'm always nervous around them and I get shy but with him I'm not and I don't want that to change. He's becoming such a good friend and I don't want to screw that up in any way. But when I am around him and we are close I just feel a connection and I've never felt it before. I know it sounds VERY cheesy but I am not making it up! I don't know how to explain the feeling other than that. It's so weird! I don't know if any of this is making sense but if you read this far and have some clue on some advice to give me please do. Should I just ignore it? Wait it out? I'm so lost. My best friend told me I should tell him but I don't even think that's a possibility right now. What do you think?

I am pretty fed up with all this.

I am single, 30, with a job that has barely anytime to go out. I don’t have much friends and the most time I spent with is my dog. I decided to be on dating apps. I am looking!

I met a handle full of people through Tinder and Bumble. I always made myself clear I am not looking for friends with benefits, hook ups, or booty calls. All the guys the came across with which I am interested, is supposed to be on the same page as me. I realized a trend with Instagram and dating apps. Usually guys will ask for my Instagram and we follow each other. Then we start chatting through DM on instagram. The biggest red flag is, they follow a whole list of chicks besides me on Instagram. I see them active online most of the time and sometimes, my messages gets ignored. I’ve been seeing this guy for a few months and he won’t make the next step. I find myself wasting time and he on the other hand, follows new girls on Instagram from the city every day!

I decided to move on, matched with someone on Tinder. We were very interested. Once again, the instagram thing came up, he asked me to follow him... and the same thing... he has a bunch of chicks on there. We chatted on the phone last night, he asked to meet me today. He did mention that his grandma was dying at the hospital and it’s just the matter of time. So, he never messaged me this morning, I was the one who messaged him. I saw him ONLINE on instagram a lot. So I texted him how was his job interview and he got the job. He did not mention about his grandma passing away. After confirming if we’re still meeting up... he said “his grandma passed today and he’s heading back to his city”! Once again, he is constantly on instagram.

I told him if you’re not interested, just say so. But he just said “Things just got really real really quick today. I was genuinely looking forward to meeting with you but these are not circumstances I had control over”...

Is he full of it?
