    I matched with a guy on tinder, who is a nurse in October. We’ve been texting everyday but we haven’t met up yet. When I was studying for my NCLEX, boards exam to be a nurse at the time, he wanted to meet up after a few days we were texting but I told him I have to study. I ghosted him for 2 weeks because I was talking to another guy from tinder. I talked to him again after 2 weeks of not talking because I was really sad that the other guy ghosted me to distract myself. When we started texting again, he would periodically ask me when I’m gonna take my exam so we can finally meet up. We finally set a date after I passed and I was the one who chose the date(a really late date) because I have really bad social anxiety meeting someone new especially from online.Last week, he told me he met up with a girl from hinge and got dinner and drinks with her. The other day, he texted me that he threw up all over the place while getting drinks with the same girl on Valentines Day. I told my guy friend about this and he said that if you go out on Valentine’s Day, it can also be platonic and doesnt have to be romantic. He also said that I should just meet him because texting is different than face-to-face and I can see how he really is. I know we’re both single and we can do whatever the hell we want. I also am talking to other guys from tinder because I don’t wanna be too attached to him.Based from my past, everytime I started getting feelings for a guy I was talking to, I would always end up getting ghosted. Out of all the guys I’m talking to right now, he is the longest I’ve talked to. He got out of a 4 year relationship and isn’t looking to date and said he wants to let loose a little. I recently passed my NCLEX and am now a registered nurse. I know this is a good time for me to do whatever I want because I’m single and officially done with school. After I told my mom that I passed my NCLEX, she told me “you’re 23 now. It’s time to start mingling and put yourself out there”. This is also my first time doing this dating app thing so idk what to do. This is gonna sound super hypocritical but I have 3 dates with 3 guys this month before we actually meet up. He texted me the other day and I left him on read. We havent texted ever since. Should I wait for a few more days to text him again and still meet up with him in a few weeks or just ghost him/mute him on all social media?

    Ghosting is so mean! :D

    I would tell him that you considered it though, and then decline. :)

    Really? In October? What does he do the rest of the year ;)

    I kid, but this is exactly why I don't do dating apps. You ghosted him, when back when another guy was ghosting you, then he ghosted you, now you're ghosting him again. If you were gonna smash you would have by now. To me it doesn't sound like either of you are all that into each other

    damn, beat me to it.


    anyway, i don't understand the question here. seems like you have no interest in this guy, but you can't figure out if you should keep stringing him along or not?

    What the fuck are you asking? You seem like a bullet that needs to be dodged.

    "i don't like you. don't text back."

    although you've already told him that through your actions anyway, so i'm not sure what the point of this text is.

    why do you feel that way? nothing in your story gave any indication that he's bothered by your texting. if anything, it sounded like you're bothered when he texts you.

    I'm not bothered at all. I just wanna know if I should text him before we meet up or just say fuck it and not text him anymore

    You should probably re-evaluate your thoughts about this guy.

    If you don't have time to meet him, or you are going to be ghosting him for 2 weeks at a time, you should probably just be honest with him or cut things off with him.
