Relationship advice: Being honest and straightforward is vital for all parties in the online dating scene.
I recently went out with a guy I was talking to online on a dating app. We met for lunch. Lunch turned into coffee, then a cocktail. Hours passed and the conversation flowed. And then the restaurant was getting ready for dinner service so they politely asked us to pay the bill.
I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with online dating and this was right up there. Why did he block me after happily sitting through what was essentially a five-hour date? Why didn’t he just leave early if he wasn’t feeling it? Why couldn’t he be honest with me? That’s the biggest issue and one I’ve run into repeatedly, is people not just saying what they’re feeling and being forthright. It would sure save me some time and emotional energy.
Was it rude of your date to delete and block you without a customary “take care” text? For sure. He clearly knew it wasn’t meant to be and rather than face an uncomfortable conversation, hung in for the IRL interaction, then cut and ran via technology. All you can control here is yourself. If you want first dates to be more transparent and essentially efficient, don’t wait until they’re over to let someone know you’re really enjoying yourself and see potential.
