I’m really bummed. I met a guy online who lived in the same place where I was planning to visit on vacation. We chatted a lot and we made a lot of plans for when I got there. I was so excited for more than a month counting the days til we met. He had asked to be exclusive and I agreed. We both knew it probably wasn’t going to be a long term thing because of distance but I was looking forward to meeting anyway.
A week before we were going to meet, he cancelled. The excuse he gave was unexpected to both of us but completely understandable. I asked if he’d want a meal together anyway and no response. I understood we couldn’t spend too much time together or be sexual, but I was disappointed we couldn’t even just meet for a meal because I felt we had become friends. And now I’m questioning if he just made an excuse to get out of meeting me lol which would really suck considering his reason for cancelling isn’t really a lighthearted matter to lie or joke about.
I’m feeling shitty about myself. I know it probably wasn’t going to be a long-term thing, but he had expressed interest in that with me if things went well in person. I guess it hits extra hard because this is my first time trying to meet someone new in 5 years and it didn’t work out. I’m not looking for advice, I know these things happen all the time. I’m just really bummed and needed to vent. Thanks for reading 🙂

So you talked about the possibility to have sex and then when he understood he cant have it he canceled ? thats sad….
Welcome to modern dating. Brush it off and move on…he might have met someone more fitting for him.
Try not to build up things too early.
I like to meet people in person , early. This is to let them see if they are attracted to me.
I dont get that invested early because they can just disappear.
Plus if they do I didn’t waste a month chatting them up.
Its just how dating is. People are mercurial.
