Hi all, just a little unsure about this situation and would hope some of you could offer some advice on this.
Two months ago, I was matched with this guy on CMB and we texted quite okay but the convo died after 1 week. Two weeks after that, I took the courage to message him to ask if he’s still interested to meet me and he said he was.
So, at the 5th week after being matched on CMB, we finally went out and to my surprise, the date went really really well – we could banter and joke quite a lot and I felt like I was hanging out with someone I’ve known for a long time. I could also sense that he was quite comfortable with and interested in me as he would sit pretty close to me. Apart from his nice and kind character, I also liked how he was quite caring and courteous during the date. For example, when crossing the road, he’d put his arm behind my back (not fully touching) as though he’s “protecting” me should anything bad happen or when we walk along a narrow path, he’ll ensure that I’m not behind him.
Back to the situation: what’s bugging me is that, when we text, his replies can be quite short and are at times delayed (12 to 15 hours later that kind). It’s the semester break now, and he’s not working, so idk why he’d be so slow in replies. When I look at my igstories, I could see that he has viewed them but he takes a long time to reply my messages. More recently, he seems to have stopped texting me for 3 days now (my messages are still unread). I even went back to our chat to see if I said anything sensitive, but there isn’t any.
I’m wondering if someone is indeed interested in me, wouldn’t they be excited to reply my messages? Even if they forgot to, wouldn’t they realise all of a sudden and check if they did reply? Though we’ve not set out for a second date, I’m really unsure if I should continue investing into this seemingly potential guy, or just say my thanks and move on?
Please help advise!
Here is what netizens think
The guy already have girlfriend one la, u dreaming
- If he likes you, you’ll know. If he doesn’t, you’ll be confused.I wish I knew this when I was younger. Would have saved me a lot of heartache. No point thinking so much & analyzing his actions. Men are very simple creatures.If he likes you, it will be obvious. Just move on.
- Protecting you when crossing the road could just be a gentleman’s gesture. You think too much already lah.
- Even when a guy doesn’t like you, the nice ones will put up a front and show you a good time when you are out. And yes when a guy is interested and pursuing you, he’s at his best behaviour and you wouldn’t be in doubt if he likes you or not. Pls just move on, stop contacting and investing feelings in this guy cos he’s clearly not into you.
