He’s Upset That He Went On A Wonderful First Date With A Girl Who Led Him On
If someone’s out there on a dating app, it’s reasonable to assume that they’re ready to invest their time, energy, and attention into some type of romantic connection.
Even if they’re not looking to get serious, you think they’re looking for something after going through the effort of essentially advertising themselves online.
This 30-year-old guy went out on a truly wonderful first date with a girl the same age as him over the weekend.
They met on a dating app, and they spent quite a bit of time chatting before organizing their first date.
“We met up for a nature walk, and then she suggested getting a drink after, which led to another and then to dinner,” he explained.
“We said we’d do something again at the end, made out a bit, and then drove off separately. [The] whole date lasted like 6/7 hours.”
“She text[ed] straight after to say she had a really good time and that dinner was on her next time, so I’m thinking it went well and that she’s keen.”
The following day, he responded and threw out a suggestion for date two. However, he was disappointed when she didn’t respond after more than 24 hours.
Finally, she replied by saying she’s got far too much going on in her life to actually be dating anyone.

She added that she knows they have a ton of things in common, but she wishes for things between them to calm down.
He felt like she led him on, and it was upsetting to hear this rationale from her, considering they did have a connection and shared an amazing first date.
He can understand that her life definitely sounds chaotic at the moment, as she’s buying a home, starting a new job, and beginning a new research program.
Also, she just moved to their city from somewhere else, so there is a lot that she has on her plate.
“I’ve been dating on Hinge for ages, so I know this is pretty usual, and it essentially means, ‘You were cool, I had fun, but I don’t fancy you enough to factor you into my hectic life,’ which is absolutely fine, but I thought for her to send the initial text straight after the date was misleading,” he clarified.
“It got my hopes up, which is my own problem, but there it is. Maybe she felt it in the moment and then woke up and didn’t feel it; it doesn’t really matter; I just want to rant.”
He’s left wondering if you’ve ever had something similar happen during your dating adventures.
So, have you ever felt like someone led you on following a great first date?
