Is It Time For Nexting???
I met a man 10 days ago, through online dating, we had a first date and everything was great, we said to meet again before i.went on a short holiday.
I texted him on the day of the date for good morning à nd we said to meet at 8 pm . Then around afternoon i found that this place that i had chosen to go unfortunately was closed today and if we could go somewhere else.
He answered that he got stuck on a job and said sorry he couldn't be there at the agreed time and hopefully i would let him take me out after my holiday or today.
I told him that if he doesnt want to meet that night, that's fine and he said he was looking forward to this.
He did apologise many times and said he wants to make it up to me, take me out after i am back and give me a neck massage .
He said he feels bad and i said that these things happen sometimes so no need to worry.
Throughout my holiday we have been texting, amd he mentioned many times to hopefully meet soon when i am back.
I told him i will be back from holiday today when he texted me in the morning and he said that he thought i would stay longer, asked him if he was working and said he took 5 days off because his dad is in the hospital and said to speak when im back.
Of course i said that i hope its nothing serious and also that i hope he is ok.
For the background, he is a single dad, he told me he is 8 months single and his last relationship was with the mother of his kids with who was engaged. He also told me that he is in reality two yrs over with her.
Also for the second date he texted me one day prior to confirm if we are still on.
Im not sure to be honest if the guy wants to meet me or stringing me along for whatever reason. The other question is, is he really as single as he says?
This is from online so its a bit difficult to trust 100%

One suggested change to this. Don't do nothing, exactly. Keep moving forward and meeting people. Don't get invested in people you've only met a couple of times. Keep putting yourself out there.

So just keep living your life. If he really wants to go out again, he'll ask to make concrete plans. You're thinking about this too much.
In one text while we were exchanging texts over the holidays, i said i am looking forward to seeing him and he said "Are you now? That is good to know" with a kissing emoji.
So i guess you are right at this point i wont do anything
I was wondering if 'nexting' was some new thing. Maybe more than texting but less than 'sexting'
Haha no nexting means giving someone the next exit
