Going to try and keep it as short as possible! I met a guy around a month ago at a bar and we got on so well! I went back to his that night and we sat up talking for hours and we did sleep together. He's 40 and I'm 20 (i realise people will have their opinions) he does not look 40, he doesn't come across as 40 and we seemed to have so much in common.
Anyway, we were texting for a bit after but then when I made the suggestion to go for drinks he said "I just don't know if its a good idea." so i just left it as didn't want to appear desperate. So I start seeing someone new but could not get him out of my head for the entire month that I was seeing this other guy for.
Then yesterday I get a text from this guy saying how are etc and saying we should have drinks and catch up so i agreed then when i text him today he says he can't make it then we get into a text convo and he says " i'm sorry i just disappeared. I wrote out an epic text about how i think the age gap is too much but then never sent it." then he says "you do know i was really into you though?" which i really did think he was (it appeared that way.) so then i swallow my pride and tell him i'm really into him and he goes on to say "I'm 40 though, i'm old!! i have a crazy ex and kids!" ?(his kids live away with their mum and are 15/16 btw) so i just replied "well i don't care but it'd be nice to have drinks" he replys "yeah would be good to catch up next week :)" so i then just left the texting there..
He also said when I asked why he never text "I think i got ahead of myself a bit and panicked" What does this even mean?!
I really like this guy and haven't been able to get him out of my head but i just don't get what he's thinking! 1 minute he's saying he's really into me, the next he's trying to put me off of him! any advice would be appreciated! thank you
