This 24-year-old woman has been out on a few dates with a new guy, who is 29. They met online, and ever since they have gotten to know each other, she feels like he is really easy and comfortable to be around.
He has even slept over at her place, too, and has seen her entire body. Yet, out of the blue, he messaged her just yesterday and claimed that her weight was the reason why he was unsure about committing to a relationship.
For context, she detailed how the guy never said anything about her weight before that message. So, even though she suffers from body image issues, she actually felt really great about herself because it seemed like he genuinely liked her the way she was.
“We had some conversations about my mental health, and he was so kind and understanding,” she recalled.
She also made sure to include a variety of photos on her dating profile. Some were older, but they showcased her hobbies; meanwhile, the recent photos she included showed her current weight since she gained weight over the past couple of years.
As for why her weight even came up in conversation yesterday, she was actually starting to consider taking a break from dating apps to allow their relationship to progress. That’s why she decided to text the guy and ask if they should stop dating other people.
However, his text message response was just plain shocking.
“Okay, I thought about your question. Actually, I was planning to talk to you about a thing. I don’t want to make you upset, and I was thinking about how to explain myself,” the guy began.
“Your Hinge pictures are old ones. Normally, I care about that, but I preferred to know you first, and I like you. You are so friendly and understanding, and you have a very good heart, which is valuable to me. I am looking for a serious relationship and then marriage with the right person,” he continued.
