Are you still planning to meet her after work tomorrow?

I've been through this before with dating myself. It just is what it is. Sometimes a person is bored and they want to window shop, but then someone messages them, they strike up a conversation, but then it dawns on the person that they still JUST want to window shop. When you create a dating app, you can essentially be whatever you want to be. I mean your goal is to describe yourself to where you're presented in the best light. I don't think any party has really done anything wrong here. Just have to chalk it up to those are the breaks in the current dating climate.

This is so true. She wants him, but he's lukewarm on her. I've never known a woman to backburner a guy she was into, but I have known a woman to backburner a guy to pursue someone she was more into. You can ride this one out if you want, and honestly I probably would, but I would keep my options VERY open.

Good point. Thank you, I will do that and will see what happens.

Wow, thank you for that! You are so right and I didn't even stop to take a moment to notice that. I'll ride it out while I talk to others.

At this point, I would just wait and see. The fact that she is talking to someone else, too, doesn't mean anything more than she's talking to someone else, too. It doesn't sound as if she's made a commitment to anyone at this point (and it would be silly if she had.)

You lucked out to have an insider friend tell you what's going on. It's always good to have a few female friends on your side that are just friends.

After knowing about this, I would not pursue her anymore unless she came back pursuing me. Fom what your friend said, you are runner up because she is more attracted to the other guy who is probably not that interested in her to be called "iffy".

If you dont mind being runner up go ahead but I'd have some dignity to not be chasing someone who cant see how special I am but that is me. Good luck.

At this point I'm not going to chase her. I'm not someone's placeholder or second place. I'm backing off at this point. If she texts me I'll respond, but as of now, I am going to keep it moving.

Hey guys! So last week we started talking again. She apologized for being a bit distant and has just been really busy with work, family stuff, and recovering from a cold. I went down to Florida for a few days and we kept in touch the entire time, and woke up to good morning texts each day.


We are going to go on a date this Saturday. Wish me luck!
