Did I overreact?
Hey yall! I want to see if I jumped the gun & misread these vibes I was gettingā¦
Backstory: I SB(28 F) went on a couple of platonic dates or āmeet & greetsā with an SD(50 M). We had a great time (I thought) both times.
We texted for quite a bit leading up to our first date. I enjoyed his patience & how much he appreciated my straightforwardness. During this time we discussed schedules. I work a 9-5, go to the gym, and have night classes so Iām mostly only free nights & weekends. He mentioned a few times that he makes his own schedule (own business). He also seemed to text me a lot, would double text me if I didnāt respond within an hr or 2, would tell me good morning & good night etc.
First initial meet & greet, we went on a simple dinner date, he offered a gift & I politely said itās not necessary. We negotiated a substantially generous allowance. I was happy with it, his appearance, and his personality. We seemed to get along very well & I was excited to see him again.
Our 2nd date was last Saturday & also non-sexual but a bit more intimate. we spent the entire evening together, went to a festival, I visited his home, we both agreed to move forward with the arrangement. Had a bit of a disagreement on ppm vs allowance to start (I donāt do ppm & wanted to start off with an allowance) he eventually agreed to do it my way. We also agreed that heād gift half my allowance during our first arrangement date.
We ended it with us trying to plan out when weād see each other again and agreed that next Saturday was too far to wait but itāll do if we need to. (He lives 10 min away from me btw)
The next day he texted me & itās like his demeanor had changed. He has problems communicating through text, heās a lot more humorous sarcastic in person. But this felt different. He tells me heās too busy the entire week & Saturday will have to do. I was a bit bummed & confused because he makes his own schedule & I told him I enjoyed overnights previously, but I accepted & was ok with it. He then went 2 days without texting me back which is why I ultimately asked him if he was still interested in text above.
Then today tells me his plans got moved around & makes no effort to try to reschedule & just feels like a full on flake move in my eyes & so I responded with Iāll move on from this in text above. Iām so curious on if you guys feel I over reacted or if I was right in the way this was going?
Btw I donāt plan on trying to salvage this at all, I donāt ever want to feel like Iām chasing a man for effort. Iām just curious of yāallās opinions. Thanks for those of you who took the time to read my long ass winded post lol š¤£
I think you handled this well and clearly expressed and maintained your boundaries.
