So I met this person online on Monday. We texted, and texted, and texted every day since then.

We talked about everything from family, to her growing up in Japan and attending university there and moving back to the states when she was 24, to favorite songs, movies, etc.

I did ask her yesterday evening if she would like to meet up this weekend for a date. Nothing special but just to see each other in person.

She mentioned she wasn’t ready and was very cautious because she had been abused by her last boyfriend several years ago. (I get it but if that’s the case, why even be on a dating app).

Then today we talked some other topics like sports and finances.

Then she said she’s going to be out of town for two weeks for her job.

At that point I was like it doesn’t seem we’ll probably meet face to face. I don’t want to text back and forth for two weeks.

So I politely thanked her but I just said I don’t want keep on texting for two weeks and not ever meet. We could have meet this weekend for some coffee, etc. just to say we met.

We didn’t even have a phone conversation within this last week.

I rarely date but I felt this would lead to a pen pal situation then anything else.
