I (20F) met a guy at my local mall. he’s really attractive and charming which kinda makes me nervous and intimidated lol. I saw him stuck in a shirt when we met which is why he sparked a conversation with me lol. He moved across the country a few months ago and lives 10 minutes from me. He asked for my phone number and Instagram after talking to me for about 30 minutes. He asked me to not ghost him or let him know if I’m busy rather than ignoring him before I walked away lol. Later that night, he ended up texting me asking if I was free. He took me to a local sports bar to get a few drinks and get to know each other. The date went really well. He was a little handsy, he did lean in for a kiss at the end but I kindly rejected it & explained that I don’t do that on first dates. He was fine with it and gave me a kiss on the cheek instead. He’s not that much of a texter so after not hearing from him the next morning I kinda lost a little bit of hope. I was a little nervous at the possibility he just wanted to hookup. however he asked me the next day if I was free to hang again. I met him on Sunday, and since then we met up the last 3 nights continuously with his pursuit. Meeting up at night honestly threw me off a bit, but he does work and it seems like he sees me when he has the time. He also said he’s not much of a texter and barley continuously texts.
The conversations aren’t sexual, it is a little flirty. We end up just sitting outside at a park for hours. He respects my boundaries as well. it’s honestly him & i blabbering for hours on end. There is never an awkward silence which I really love. He has mentioned maybe going to watch a movie, aquarium & sixflags. He says he feels as we get along really well. I guess it’s mainly my insecurities that makes me think otherwise? I’m scared he’s just talking to sleep with me. The biggest takeaway is that he is 25 and I am 20. I never talked to anyone older than me, and I’m more so used to younger guys so it could really just be me. I really do like him, however I don’t know if I should get my hopes up. He also mentioned how he’s a spontaneous guy which I like but idk wether or not to be afraid of it lol.
