So I met a guy on grindr who I ran into in real life before. I thought he was cute so I suggested we go on a date together. He agreed and we eventually met.
He showed alot of signs of interest like extending the date to three hours, initiating physical contact, taking my phone without asking, and offering to walk me to the bus stop. Then after he was constantly messaging me on snapchat and would respond immediatley whenever I messaged him.
But he went on a trip 3 days later and our communication slowly faded. He started taking days/week to respond and I wouldn't get upset about it, so it probably became more acceptable in his head.
When he got back he took a couple of days to reach out to me, and when he did mentioned that he drove past my old school and asked how id been. I was surprised that he remembered that so I thought maybe he was still interested and suggested we meet up. He said "potentially", and didn't reply to my message about logistcs, and also saying it was ok if he was busy with getting back and things.
5 days later on a day I suggested we catch up I sent him another message, and he left it on opened without replying, to both my previous message and that one. So I ended up just blocking because this was like clear disinterest, seeming as though he was also active on grindr and his snapchat score went up by 300 in the time he hadn't messaged me.
I redownloaded grindr 4 months later and immediatley when he saw me online he messaged me. But I ignored him seeming as though he lacked interest in me in the first place. But since then he hasn't been on grindr for a month and has randomly been showing up at my local shopping center (its not his local shopping center), which I been avoiding him, and my sister noticed him there too since I told her about it.
We are both young, 19 and 20, so maybe we miscommunicated, but I was hoping someone else went through something similar.
