Same. I connected with someone (mentioned the age gap above). will try to keep it brief. We connected on an anonymous platform and discussed about career, life advice, passion, hobbies in general. Discussed a bit about relationships too.
After few days, he started showing a lot of interest in me. Told me that he missed my voice, when I said I'm busy these days he said he could wait for few days and we will talk whenever I'm free again. Initially it was a 2 way conversation. Now it feels like he only talks about himself, his life, his interests, his passion, his aspirations etc. and he doesn't show much interest in my life now. I'm a great listener so I genuinely engage in his conversations.
I don't show much interest now and I only reply whenever he texts me. I thought he would eventually stop but he didn't. I don't know what's happening. Why does he keep texting or what does he want and am I sending any wrong signals here. and is the age gap normal here??
Thoughts?
Block him.
If you are not interested in him, clearly tell him. You listen to him so he receives the signals and starts falling for you.
Don't fall into the trap; move on.
Got it. thank you for commenting. Just one thing please. I don't wish to just block him. I'm willing to end on good terms and just leave forever without hurting him or making him feel low in any way. So how do we leave in such cases
See from a guy's point of view, that will leave a small hope for the future. The 18-year gap is not common in our society. It's up to you how you want to take things forward.
Block him
@Letsconnect take what I am gonna say in a positive manner -
Some people are inexperienced that they don't get hints
Some get it but are stubborn (again a bad thing since you aren't interested, or are you?)
Some get it but just wanna play and get pleasure they get out of seducing someone.
Unless you are interested, in all these 3 scenarios you should step back (by telling him you have finally gotten into a relationship and now you are busy)
You asked twice whether this age gap is fine. Is the age gap part worrying you or is it his personality? If this age gap would not have been in picture would you have been interested into him?
Thanks for your inputs. I do feel inexperienced in relationships matter. Anyway, no even if the age gap part wasn't in the picture, I'm still not interested. I just don't feel good about this anymore. For eg, few days ago I casually said that it feels like we have nothing in common now as we are getting to know each other. I casually said it and left. But next day I realised it hurt him a lot and I'm worried about doing any damage further. Also, no I'm not interested as well but I don't know how to just go away without making anyone feel less important
Creep, pls be careful
Thanks for your concern. I did tell him that I'm not willing to continue the conversation further, and he got upset and when I told him that I hope you will understand, he said it's doesn't matter, because he knows what my thought process is like and made me feel bad for ending this relationship. I still didn't understand what thought process he was talking about.
Male loneliness is real 🤯
I met a guy over reddit few weeks ago. We both talked about our workplace issues, about mba entrance exam prep and few other things. He mentioned he liked talking to me and so did I.
But he never told me his name or anything about his i...
It's our 4th date and I am literally running out of content !
I did not grow up in a lot of money. I ordered looking at the prices on the menu. This feeling has stayed with me and has fueled me to thrive, push harder, work long hours and get to my goals.
I'm 5 years into my career, and last year...
I felt this once I sold my startup. Through my other investments I have enough to not work and make whatever I spend ...
