Make it make sense
Me (F,42) went on a first date last night after about a week of texting with M,38. He kept saying how excited he was to meet me, was nice and respectful via texts. Date went decently - I didn’t think he was super attractive but honestly I was willing to give him a fair shot and see. He mentioned this was the first time he was using apps ever - no major reason besides “I do better in person”. He suggested an Italian spot, he paid. He asked if we could get dessert after - we shared one (I paid). While we’re eating dessert, he mentioned he was surprised “someone like me” swiped right on him and I asked him to say more - he said he didn’t think he was conventionally attractive etc. and he basically hinted very strongly I was out of his league. I didn’t feel like there was a good response here, so I said something like oh, interesting you feel that way, I enjoyed our texts and made a quasi joke about how he made no grammatical errors which was a big plus!
He then asked if he could walk me home. He said had the best time and would love to see me again. I mentioned I was away next week but would love to get together once I was back.
He did make one or two comments like even if we never see each other again, you’ll remember me for this awesome joke or the pasta or the x - like he said that 2-3 times.
Today morning , he texts me saying he had an amazing time and would love to hang again. But he wants to keep it platonic - would I be into that.
Like what LOL. I mean - I am truly not heartbroken, he was ok not amazing but to me, the fact that he’d drop all these dating signals to then ask for a platonic relationship seems whack! Would love to know what is going through his head and I may even ask but honestly it’s coming from a place of curiosity vs any bitter feelings whatsoever.
