Hello! I (25M) redownloaded Hinge for the first in a while last week and I’ve matched with a good handful of people already. There’s one person I matched with that I thought things were going pretty well with after exchanging numbers. We’ve texted for a day or two and it seemed like we were hitting off. Had things in common, she seemed interested, was making conversation, etc. Then on day three I noticed her energy seemed a bit different, but I chalked that up to her being at work (she works weekends). She was still texting and everything, something just seemed a bit different.

This morning, I asked what she was doing on her next day off and if she wanted to go out that day. She ended up telling me that she doesn’t think that we click yet and wants to keep texting before we go out. I asked if there was something in particular that made her feel this way and she just told me it’s just a “vibe thing” and that she can’t place her finger on it. She assures me that I haven’t made her uncomfortable or anything, she just wants to keep texting first. It just seems odd to me because she seemed really into me the other day and I’m not really sure what happened.

She’s still continuing to text me, but the energy seems different from the other day still. I guess I just don’t know if this is really worth continuing at this point? My gut is telling me it’s not. I’ve asked her out and was told no, but now she wants to keep talking for a CHANCE she might change her mind. For the record, I know I’m in no way entitled to a date if the other person is not feeling it yet, but idk this just seems odd. Does anyone else operate similarly? Should I just cut it off at this point? I’d like to hear others’ perspectives. Thanks!

EDIT: Thank you all for the replies. Typing everything out was probably what I needed because I realized pretty quickly that things were gonna nowhere fast. I ended up texting her this morning and told her I didn’t see things progressing to anywhere with where we’re at and I cut things off. She thanked me for letting me know and told me that I’ve been “very kind and sweet”.

Reading through some of the comments and everything made me realize how much online dating just does not work for me. I’ve had very few good dates from when I’ve had the apps installed previously. Every good date or relationship I’ve had has stemmed from someone I’ve met or known irl and grown that way. More power to anyone who uses the apps, but for my own mental sanity and for me to not be jaded on love, I will no longer be using them. Thank you all for helping me realize that!

So about a month ago, I finished the second draft of the script I’ve been working on for going on a year at this point. I took a month’s break from writing it because I felt I was going super hard on it and organized a table reading for this weekend so that I can hear the script out loud for myself.

I know the second draft isn’t perfect. It’s much better than the first draft, but I’m still unsure about a couple things with it in its current state. My goal is that once I hear the script in it’s entirety out loud, I will be better able to identify the uneasiness I have with certain beats and/or dialogue and iron all of this out.

I plan to have a post-read discussion after it is over and I want to ask good questions that will help me get an idea of how certain things went over with people. I don’t wanna ask questions like “Was it good? Was it bad?”, but instead ask questions that really helps me understand how and if people are connecting with this on a thematic level, what their takeaways are, etc. I was looking to see what would be some good questions to ask in a post-reading discussion? Also just any general advice to calm the anxiety I’m kind of having going into this? I’ve worked pretty hard on this and it’s a pretty vulnerable story for me and I know that certain elements of it can be fine tuned, but I do not want to be discouraged. Thank you for any and all advice!
