i’ll start from the beginning, and this has been going on for about a month. i (f21) and met this guy (m23) on hinge towards the end of april.
first we added each other on snap, and we would snap each other whenever we wanted to hang out. the first time we met, we both said we didn’t want a relationship so it was just a casual hookup. i thought it would’ve been over after that but then we kept doing that routine for about 2 weeks and we would talk more and more after doing whatever.
the first hangout we talked for 1-2 hours after. the second was just a late night fling. the 3rd and 4th time we talked for 3 hours after and the 5th time, he asked me to spend the night. i thought it was odd considering he used to say “i don’t let people spend the night”. we seem to get more touchy and closer every time we see each other. around the 3rd time i saw him, we agreed to be exclusive.
most recently, we went to get dinner and we played a few video games hours before anything happened. it felt like we were dating, like we would cuddle and everything before i stayed that night. we both had a lot of fun, and i definitely realize i caught some feelings. i had gotten his instagram and number that night too. i told him i was hesitant about getting his number because i didn’t know if that was crossing a boundary- he giggled and said that i was cute. anyway, i feel like i’ve been getting mixed signals about if he likes me in any way. we’ve been doing stuff for a month and part of me wants to tell him how i feel because i want to further the relationship. like the night i spent the night, it felt like we were a couple. he also mentioned i give off great caring vibes.
is what i’m in called a situationship? but we agreed to be exclusive which is what a situationship lacks- do i tell him how i feel? i want to keep seeing him because he’s genuinely a nice person. are we just in a mutually casual exclusive relationship? idk what to label this.
to preface, we don’t really text but when we hang out in person we spend hours together- does the lack of texting mean anything?. i would like to text him more, so any advice would be great. is this one sided? i’m honestly so confused. im hesitant to tell him i caught feelings-
tl:dr, man is either giving me mixed signals or i’m just delusional. idk what to call our situation.
