A few weeks ago I met a girl on hinge shortly after moving to a new city. We grabbed drinks/tacos for a first date and ended up staying for about 2.5 hours. Conversation flowed and we had lots of banter, she opened up about past relationships, and there was definitely some attraction (we were even joking around about more flirty/edgy stuff at one point).
At the end of the night, I walked her to her car. Then she offered to drive me to my car, got out to hug me, and we ended up making out for a bit. Overall it felt like a strong first date.
I texted her when I got home, she responded right away. The next day I set up a second date for the following week.
Only thing I noticed was her texting got a bit drier after the date which is never a great sign. She did go out of town that weekend so I gave her space.
Then the night before our planned second date, she sends me this:
“I know we had plans to see each other tomorrow but I have to cancel. I've been talking to someone else casually and didn’t anticipate it getting serious this quickly, but we’ve decided to be more intentional. I’m sorry you’re an amazing guy and you deserve the best. I don’t want to waste your time.”
I responded politely saying no big deal, enjoyed meeting you and wished her the best. She liked the message the next morning.
About a week later, I see her back on Bumble. So I'm curious what you're thoughts were on all of this? I was a little bummed out that we didn't continue on and learn more about each other. Online dating in a nutshell I guess.
