i (20, F) and met the only guy in my life who has checked all the boxes i’m looking for in a man (21, M). we met on hinge a month ago and we have been staying in contact. last week, we finally met and i drove 2.5 hours to him since he is working out of town. i spent the weekend with him and we had a good time. he is a very busy person studying for the mcat and having a summer research job, so he’s always been slower to reply to my snaps and messages. i notice sometimes that his snapscore will rise but he hasn’t texted me back. well, after our date, i was a little paranoid he seems distant and wanted some clarity in if he’s still interested in me. he took 24 hours to respond to my message when he’s been active online, but i do believe he needed a lot of time to think about it. when we were hanging out, i asked if he was fully ready to commit to a relationship and he said he had to think about it. i guess i forced him to think even more. he goes to a college 7 hours away from me so we would be long distance for most of our relationship until he comes home during breaks. he did say he has a scholarship that covers his flights back to his home state so he could probably see me every month or so. thoughts on this situation? after sending the last message, he has not replied but i assume he needs some more time to think upon it.
