Hey everyone, so to give some back story, I met (let’s call her Megan) on tinder in October of ‘22. She’s 18 and in highschool (I know a little risky, but I was like let’s see where it goes). She responded with how thankful she was to match with me after I sent my pickup line and the conversation started from there. We moved quite quickly to texting and calling, and then after about three weeks we had our first date.
So, it took us a while to actually meet up due to her being a full time high school student, siblings to take care of, and a job.
Our date consisted of talking in the car for about four hours, we seemed to connect super well, and I felt like I’d know her for a while. This was my first time having holding hands and having my hand on the thigh of a woman and that was a good feeling. She did suggest going on a walk, but I was pretty anxious and declined since I was out of my element and in a new territory. Eventually I driver back home and we hugged and said our goodbyes.
We continued taking til the need of that week then stopped before the weekend, she said that she simply had to much going on in her life, some may think that’s an excuse, but she really had a packed schedule. She alluded to this fact about a week before our date, and mentioned that she may not have time for a relationship, with her schedule.
It hurt for a few weeks, but I had started to feel a little better by a month, still confused as if she was interested in anything I’m the future. Thanksgiving came round’ and I wished her a good one and she said “thanks love you too”, thought that was interesting, kept on moving though.
Not much happened until a two weeks ago, at this point it had been a month or two since we had our date. I asked her about what she thought about trying again in the future and she said that she’d still be busy and it’d be hard to balance everything, and didn’t think she’d be a good partner because of that. I understood and told her (essentially) that if she ever needed anything to lmk etc.
At this point I’m not thinking about her 24/7, but I really think that we connected really well, and don’t think this is the end our story. I simply don’t want to be missing out on anything and, just need some advice.
Thanks y’all lmk if you have any questions as well.
