I do not mean to be disrespectful at all when I say this..
Isn't there a better way to meet someone then online? Or is this the norm these days? Holy MOLY the horror stories I have heard from people doing this. Has life really gone this bad to where you can only meet people online?
My advise, go out and meet someone. Get to know them and then deal with it that way. There are better ways to meet someone then online. If you are intermittently talking to someone.. you have no interest in them period. You are stringing them along.
If you can live without a man.. do it.. date when you feel like it.
Is it weird that That much contact freaks me out. The intensity of it.
It's not weird. It's just who you are. Not everyone wants to text that much. But you need to be up front about that with guys.
And you also need to decide if you actually want to date someone in person, in real life, or if you just use texting as something to do.

Very quickly? Nothing about this sounds quick.

Well, maybe you don't need to be talking to guys on DATING apps.
You want him to be on your inconsistent and unpredictable timeline and he refused to play that game. Meeting someone for a coffee or a meal isn’t “taking it to the next level”.
No not been here before. First time user
This is why i was surprised at the negativity
Here i was thinking most guys don't want to be bothered too often.
I guess ill have to tell him i do want to meet but it may be difficult with the restrictions n 2 metre distancing.
I just dont know if he would wait.. he may end up meeting anothrr girl who is more willing to break the rules and is more obvious.
I have lost out to more keen women before. The type who won't even let the man breathe
You have strange assumptions about how others do their thing. What rules do you speak of that others apparently are willing to break but you're not? Being clear and obvious will always help you, people are not mind readers.
I think he's waited long enough and it's time he finds someone else he has an actual rapport and engagement. If you're going to be "too busy" that you can't really keep in touch, why bother going down that route? Why should anyone have to keep waiting if it appears you aren't that interested? This is, IMO, the case where the ship has sailed.
Let it go. I agree the ship has sailed. The best you can do or ought to do is learn from this experience.
Life is all about balance. There is a time and place for everything and believe it or not, there IS enough time to do everything. You just have to practice prioritizing your life better or culling or removing items that are no longer important.
Whether you choose to make someone a priority is ultimately a CHOICE you will make.
We all have choices. Every day there are choices.
Just learn from the experience. When you are ready or have your life prioritized or can manage your time a bit better, this will come more naturally. For now, maybe it's a case of wrong time, wrong place. Dust yourself off and keep moving.

That way there are no expectations either way.
To be honest its the norm now. If its not on an online app. It will be on instagram
Ive experienced some horror stories of my own.
This guy is at least halfway normal. Who knows when ill find that again.
On the apps..i will probably go through about 200 rubbish profiles to find one kind of decent one. Arent people embarrassed to put up these profiles.

I just want people to go at my pace.
He is more like wanting everything to go on his schedule..otherwise forget it so to speak.
If i explain myself he probably wouldnt get it...i mean his exes were the opposite always on his case about not calling them enough..and him not meeting their demands.
And then he comes across me...more a free spirit
