About two weeks ago I (24f) went on a first date with a guy (27m) i met on bumble. We got drinks and had a nice chat but I wasn’t sure I was attracted to him at first. We had an awkward hug at the end of the date. Soon after he texted me to say he had fun and could we do it again. We set up a date for the following Friday, but this time spent almost 6 hours together bar hopping. I gave him plenty of opportunities to kiss me, but it just didn’t happen. After this date though, i decided that I was attracted to him. We then set up another date the following Monday after agreeing that, since both of us had just gotten out of a long-term relationship, we’d both like to keep meeting but under the conditions that it not necessarily be for the sole purpose of building a serious relationship. On the next date on Monday we again spent almost 6 hours together at a bar and then went to sit by the river on a nice bench— plenty of opportunities for a kiss, but he kept his distance. We hugged at the end of the date. Yesterday, I messaged him and asked if was free and if he’d like to watch a movie— he agreed and I went over to his place. Keep in mind this was our fourth date in less than 2 weeks. All was going well and we were snuggled up next to each other in his bed, but as soon as the film was over he said he “really needed to go to bed” and practically rushed me out the door. Up until this point he had been incredibly polite and kind and I thought that maybe he hadn’t kissed me (or initiated more) was because he was trying to respect my boundaries, but this made me think that maybe he’s not attracted to me. We had texted pretty consistently before last night but today heard nothing. Any idea what’s going on?

  1. Who is doing the contacting, you or him?

    It sounds like you may be more attracted than he is.

    Consider backing up a little bit and seeing if he takes the lead. At the same time, plan to move on.
