He stopped planning dates after last time so I tried, not much reply what now?

saw this guy. I met him 6 times and we were really slow with progressing. He kissed me on the 3rd date then walked to his car, I didn’t get why. We continued conversation as normal after. And he just grabbed me and kissed me that time. Then 4th date we go out and he holds me more romantically, and I kissed him. Ok cute. Much of the same.,

In the 6th date I made a mistake. I took us to a hiking trail that was more desolate. I didn’t know it would be. And he asked me to kiss him. We did and it was a full makeout he gave me a hickey and was kissing on my neck and put me on his lap. But the progression didn’t make sense. We went from regular talking to this. And after I asked if we could make plans before we both go away for the next month. He said ok.

Later I text him out of confusion and said hey what’s going on here. Like what is your intention with me. And he says his general intent is LTR with being serious and married as the goal. So he said we can discuss this. And I said could we? And he said ok. So I ask when. He said which days hes free. So I tell him which day. Then I ask where? He says where do you want. I said idk. He said ok he’ll find a place. So I said tell me if you do, or do you want me to? He continues our small talk but doesn’t answer about the place.

I feel devastated and like this is ending. I went to a bar alone tonight and some people tried to talk to me and I told them about this? Idk why I’m so heart broken about a guy who’s still on the dating apps and clearly doesn’t want to make plans with me our plans are supposed to be tomorrow and he’s just messaging me random stuff. He literally told me the lore of his light saber fights with friends? Or sends me videos of the solar system and how it connects to the Star Wars universe

I feel like interest dropped after being more physical and now idk what to do?

Last time I saw a guy for a date and I’ve been seeing him for about a month. Most times I saw him all we did was kiss. He was telling me about his hobbies or interests and I thought he was really nice. I never saw Star Wars and he told me about how he does light saber fights with his friends or they choreo it. And he told me he’d send me more info about Star Wars so I can learn.

But most recently he went from talking to me to just full on making out with me. Then giving me a hickey. And I was taken aback. After that he didn’t see interested to make any more plans. I got so confused and followed up about it. And in the past we both collaborated for plans. Now he’s texting me and last thing he said was asking what I want to do, and I asked him which day and time works. But we don’t have a place set. And our plans are supposed to be in like a day. So I don’t know what to do now.

He was hardly messaging me these past days and now said he had to stay at work. But idk. I feel like if I continue to press these plans it’s not gonna lead me anywhere good. I already feel like he was just trying to hook up last time because we went on a hiking trail and this time I picked one that was more remote. That’s where he was doing that much kissing. And then I felt the switch up of not really wanting to make plans. Do I just let this go?

He has some work thing coming up but he didn’t seem to urgently wanna make these plans with me and I just don’t know what to do now. Our plans are allegedly for soon and he hasn’t confirmed anything or picked a place. Just talking about other stuff

Colored contact options?

The only ones I know of are air optics and I have blue eyes so I want something a bit different, I tried green but they look a bit fake but all the other lenses I’ve seen online don’t seem to be regulated? I have a prescription so this isn’t purely cosmetic, I usually stick with clear but I wanted to try something new for fun. Like brown.

Did i mess up asking dating intent over text and what should be next?

And we both said we’re looking for relationships on there. A few dates in he goes in and grabs my arms and kisses me. Then back to talking like nothing. The next date I kiss him and we held hands, yet we still never flirted. But the date after, so most recently, he asked if we could kiss. And he shifted me to his lap and then started just kissing and kissing and then down my collarbone. And we did that in public. It’s like he changed from being shy around kissing to just full on doing that. We walked to our cars and I just didn’t feel right. He was standing next to me before and leaning on me and just holding onto my back and it was a nice moment but the kissing and walking to sit down while kissing, then directing me onto him just felt different.

When he said bye we didn’t even say we’d keep in touch or go out again. He texted me about something unrelated after. But before leaving he kept trying to go in for kissing. Then I pulled off and he hugged me and he went back in. I think the reason I felt confused is because how quick it changed. I think it would’ve felt better if we flirted before or did some touching, like romantic?

The kissing the first two times or figuring out how to hold each other was a bit of a learning curve but I just don’t understand what happened this time because it moved very quick.

I feel like looking at the actions here it leans to looking as if it’s a hook up. I asked if that’s what he wants and said I don’t, but I texted this. He just said his goals lines up with wanting a serious relationship and having a partner. But I can’t help but feel confused. Look I get people can be intimate in dating I just think it’s a lesson for me to talk about it before? I can’t tell what we are or where this stands too

He has been far slower in replying to me after my questions and he said he was open to plans but it feels different, like I’m the one who’s trying to make it happen

I feel like looking at the actions here it leans to looking as if it’s a hook up. I asked if that’s what he wants and said I don’t, but I said it over text. He just restated his profile lines up with what he wants. But I can’t help but feel confused. We were in public so I didn’t expect him to do that and it just felt a bit intense and different from our last kiss.

He usually is excited to plan the next thing with me. And we have been seeing each other for over a month. Yet this last time he changed a lot. I just wanna get over this

If a guy suddenly stops planning things, do I give up?

I’ve been seeing a guy from the apps. He’s been fairly consistent in texting, we don’t have emotional talks, and we went from acting friendly to suddenly kissing out of nowhere. There was no progression or flirting. It just happened. No build up exists it’s either friendly or touching. We’re in our late 20s.

He was the one to ask me when I’m free and he’d send me plans. When we had a few dates he began asking me in person if I’m free, and I’d tell him yes: this day, this thing we should do. Or vice versa. Recently that changed. And I’m having trouble.

We’re both in our 20s and he has to go to a family graduation then some family events back home. I am visiting my siblings too, and this leaves us with several weeks where we won’t see each other soon. We’ve known each other for 2 months at this rate, but because of work we didn’t meet right away we texted. I’m also in school now and working so we work around that. And he seems busy too.

The most recent time I saw him, we spent a lot of time just kissing. Probably the most we’ve done. The escalation or change from last time where we did just a bit of kissing felt different. After that, I tried to ask if we’re doing something before I go? And he said I can hit him up basically. I got a bit confused,

I ask him like what is going on between us? And he told me hes looking to be in a relationship. And I asked and he said he wants a GF or is very serious. he didn’t say what he sees between us. The still being on the dating apps plus I won’t see him till early July if even that. I feel like this isn’t good. So idk if I should plan this or let go

I’m confused and I don’t know if I should move on? No exclusivity talk

I’ve been seeing a guy for over a month, he initiated all the dates until now. He’s been fairly consistent in texting, we don’t have emotional talks, and we went from acting friendly to suddenly kissing out of nowhere. There was no progression or flirting. It just happened. And even now we switch from talking to holding hands and then kissing.

(West coast, late 20s, I’m studying nursing, he’s in finance)

He was the one to ask me when I’m free and he’d send me plans. When we had a few dates he began asking me in person if I’m free. ( I’d tell him yes: this day, this thing we should do. Or vice versa) Recently that changed.

he has to go to a family graduation then some family events back home coming up in June. I am visiting my siblings in mid June. and this leaves us with several weeks where we won’t see each other soon. We’ve known each other for 2 months at this rate, but because of work we didn’t meet right away we texted. I’m also in school now and working so we work around that.

The most recent time I saw him, we spent a lot of time just kissing. Probably the most we’ve done. The escalation or change from last time where we did just a bit of kissing felt different. While still together, I tried to ask if we’re doing something before we go? And he said I can hit him up basically. I feel unclear if he wants to continue seeing me. He’s still on hinge. I know I am too but I’m not seeing anyone.

So I just ask him like what is going on between us? And he told me hes looking to be in a relationship. he said he wants a GF, and is serious. he didn’t say what he sees between us. I said can we discuss irl. He said: ok, I went to the gym and had a fun day.

I don’t understand what’s going on. I’m trying to make these plans now but he seems just neutral about it.

The still being on the dating apps plus I won’t see him till early July if even that. I feel like this isn’t good. There’s also a shift from him planning with me to just saying i can plan it out. He’s not giving me much to work with. And it feels confusing.

Do I text this guy and ask if he wants anything serious or let it go?

Met this guy OLD. He had dating intent as long term. We met up about 6 times over the course of a month and a half. About the last few times he asked me to make the next plans on the spot before we left. The last time I asked, and i told him which day works. And that’s when we met.

Things were really nice but we didn’t ever speak about our dating intentions. We had a lot of jokes or fun conversation. But I feel like we actually hardly know one another or our ambitions, goals, etc. he was acting like my friend till suddenly we walked to our cars and he began kissing me on one date. The next time we kissed again and held hands. But the following 2 times he progressed it and began giving me hickeys or touching me more like my back, etc. At first he acted very shy or awkward around touching me. And I did too.

When we were leaving this last time, he goes in to kiss me. And we’re just kissing so long, so I pull away and he says ok good night! And I ask if he wants to make plans again. He said umm sure. You know when I’m off work.

So now I wanna text him. Because he has a work thing coming up, he’s a doctor and works in emergency medicine. And after he’s gonna visit family for a graduation. I get he’s busy but it feels like we’re so undefined and still on the dating apps. Or it feels like a casual thing. I don’t want to have sex with someone I’m not dating, that’s my thing.

I just want to write out a text and be done with the wondering. I don’t know how to fully write out what I said as we didn’t ever communicate much. So I want to. But I don’t know how to form it so I don’t sound insane. Before we went home: he said um sure when I asked if he wants to meet again, or was vague. When usually we make plans together on the spot. So I feel very confused but text also isn’t the place to dump this on someone

But I don’t know how to form it so I don’t sound insane. Before we went home: he said um sure when I asked if he wants to meet again, or was vague. When usually we make plans together on the spot. So I feel very confused but text also isn’t the place to dump this on someone

AIO- would a I don’t want to be casual text be ok to send in this case? Or let it fade

I met a guy from a dating app. He had dating intent as long term. We met up about 6 times over the course of a month and a half. About the last few times he asked me to make the next plans on the spot before we left. The last time I asked, and i told him which day works. And that’s when we met.

Things were really nice but we didn’t ever speak about our dating intentions. We had a lot of jokes or fun conversation. But I feel like we actually hardly know one another or our ambitions, goals, etc. he was acting like my friend till suddenly we walked to our cars and he began kissing me on one date. The next time we kissed again and held hands. But the following 2 times he progressed it and began giving me hickeys or touching me more like my back, etc. At first he acted very shy or awkward around touching me. And I did too.

When we were leaving this last time, he goes in to kiss me. And we’re just kissing so long, so I pull away and he says ok good night! And I ask if he wants to make plans again. He said umm sure. You know when I’m off work.

So now I wanna text him. Because he has a work thing coming up, he’s a doctor and works in emergency medicine. And after he’s gonna visit family for a graduation. I get he’s busy but it feels like we’re so undefined and still on the dating apps. Or it feels like a casual thing. I don’t want to have sex with someone I’m not dating, that’s my thing.

I just want to write out a text and be done with the wondering. I don’t know how to fully write out what I said as we didn’t ever communicate much. So I want to. But I don’t know how to form it so I don’t sound insane. Before we went home: he said um sure when I asked if he wants to meet again, or was vague. When usually we make plans together on the spot.

Is this normal for a 6th date, I really need help as a first time dater?

I had my 6th date with a guy from the dating apps. We didn’t kiss till our 4th date. He kissed me so quick like randomly decided to do it. Like he walked off after. should I say he ran away? He went to his car and not a word to me. Since we made plans before then, it was easy to follow up, he did. 5th date goes good. We kiss and it was actually good. We hold hands and he holds me waist. We were both shy about it. When he grabs me he squishes me a bit. And it feels like we get awkward. We were acting shy kissing and stuff. Almost like confused teens. But we’re both in our 20s.

6th date. Goes good. We talk. We get food together. Then we go and take our cars to this beach area. Then we both get out and walk. We talk and then halfway through he holds me. We sit down. The area is more secluded. We hold for a bit then he asks me: so you wanna do this? I say what? He said you know. So I ask if he knows how to do this. He said: um ofc I do… and he made this face.

And then he starts kissing my neck. Then actually kissing me. he’s giving me a hickey. He doesn’t tilt his head, so like our first kiss we hit our faces a bit. But I tilted more, I pull away a bit. Because he was all over my face. I didn’t tell him this is my first experience. He put my leg over his. And was touching me. And then when we went back to our cars he kissed me then hugged me then went back in but he was hardly kissing my lips more just my face. And we still didn’t talk about being exclusive. Hes still on the dating apps ofc so am I. But I just don’t get this. Idk what is going on. And when we were by our cars he didn’t ask me to do anything again, so I did. And he said: sure I guess why not.

We both expressed wanting a long term relationship so idk. I’m not sure if this is all he wanted. Idk if I should follow up or leave this situation alone. Is this normal for dating? I feel so confused because I’ve never dated and I don’t want a situationship. Yet I can never use my words :/ he didn’t ask me to make plans again which he usually does. So I did. And I feel like he wouldn’t have. What do I do?
