We met on a dating app, have had two great dates so far, and I’ve been unplugging while traveling on and off. While I am really glad he is making plans for a 3rd date (I first alluded to it when I texted him after my trip), I’m totally confused and wondering if I should ask why he potentially unmatched me on the app and the mixed signals. Are there red flags? Yellow flags? Or is he just trying to play hard to get a little and it’s fair because I’ve been unplugging intentionally during my time off? For full context, please see my previous post. Any insight and advice is appreciated because I am even more flummoxed now than before. Thanks!
Reception is never a good reason to obstain from important questions to you, especially in a relationship that is very much still up in the air. This type of behavior is just going to prolong bad relationships or weaken boundaries within good relationships. Be honest and upfront, encourage them to do the same, and walk away if things are revealed you don’t like. It’s not like those things would just go away if you don’t ask.
