Should I make the first move and contact him now that I've finally met an ideal suitor through blind dating? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I'm 30+, and I've been on a lot of blind dates, but I haven't met anyone I like. Finally, I met a guy on a blind date who is good in every way and fits my ideal type. In fact, I also have low self-esteem and feel that guys may not look at me, but I still have fantasies, because the blind date was the first time we met and got to know each other. At the time, we had a good chat and I couldn't tell that the guy was dissatisfied with me. At the time, he also said that he would still ask me out in the future, and we chatted some more that night. Nothing was abnormal, but the next day, the guy became a lot colder. It was all me taking the initiative to contact him. He said that he was busy working overtime, so I just greeted him politely and didn't chat with him very often. Later, it was me greeting him, but he almost lost contact. I also expected that the guy might not want to anymore, but this morning I greeted him with good morning, and he returned good morning to me. Then he went dark again. I'm really confused. Is he really busy and doesn't have time to respond, or is he deliberately ignoring me? If you don't have any interest in me, just say so. Although I have quite a feeling for him, I also know

Hello, my dear friend! I'm sending you a big, warm hug from afar.

From what you've told me, it seems like you had a pretty good first impression of this guy and you're keen to keep developing your relationship with him. It's totally normal to feel a bit insecure sometimes, especially when you're trying to build a connection with someone new. It's natural to worry that the guy may not be paying enough attention to you.

In a close relationship, the relationship between one person and another is actually a projection of the relationship with one's inner self. From your description, I can clearly feel your inner feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, as well as your wariness in the relationship, your fear that you are not doing enough, and your constant self-doubt. I can see how these feelings might be affecting you.

It's totally normal to feel worried, concerned, and anxious about your feelings of inner insecurity and unworthiness in a relationship. But if you're not aware of these emotions, you might unintentionally project them onto the other person, thinking they don't feel anything for you, don't care about you, and don't love you enough. The truth is, this is just your feeling, and your projection of inner emotions of insecurity doesn't represent the other person's true attitude.

It can be really helpful to try to stay with your anxious, restless, and overly concerned emotional feelings. This can help you to experience and perceive what needs are hidden behind these uncomfortable emotional feelings. For example, you might have a desire to be accepted, approved of, liked, valued, cared about, or loved. You might also have a fear of being rejected. Once you've identified these needs, you can start to express them in a better way.

For instance, why not try to give yourself a response and satisfaction through your own efforts? That is, try to fully accept yourself from the inside out. This way, you can see your own shortcomings and inadequacies, but also appreciate the bright spots and advantages in yourself. The other person's attitude and emotions towards you are things you cannot control. The good news is that you can control one thing: making yourself more and more capable of love. That way, you'll be good enough!

So, try to grow yourself and make yourself more worthy of love. When you are good enough and confident, you will attract people with the same frequency as you. What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

If you're in a relationship and the other person's behavior makes you feel uncomfortable or like you're not being loved the way you deserve, it's okay to speak up! Try to be brave and sincere when you express your feelings. This will help the other person understand that their actions are affecting you.

I really think you should read How to Make the One You Love Fall in Love With You.

Good day, host.

After reading your text description, I empathize with your situation. It is evident that you are uncertain about the situation and recognize the ambiguity in his behavior. However, it seems that he does not reciprocate your feelings. Despite a promising initial impression, there seems to be a lack of follow-up.

As someone who has experienced this situation firsthand, I would like to offer my insights for your consideration.

First and foremost, this is an era where people are perpetually engaged with their mobile devices. It is virtually impossible for the other person not to check their phone for a few days, and it is equally impossible for them not to see the message. The fact that he is indifferent to your greetings actually demonstrates that he may be considering you as a mere accessory.

In particular, I am drawn to the following poem by Roy Croft: "I love you not only for the way you look, but also for the way I look when I'm with you." It is crucial to reflect on whether this individual truly aligns with your expectations and aspirations.

If this is not the case, it is unclear why you are still insisting.

Secondly, if the essence of a relationship is an exchange of sentiments, then the essence of marriage is an exchange of values. In the current era, characterised by the Internet, all adult approaches entail an evaluation of value.

In the context of value exchange, if a person genuinely holds romantic interest in another, it is reasonable to assume that they would seek to contact that person as soon as possible to inquire about their background and interests.

In light of these considerations, it would be prudent to take the initiative, given the ambiguity of his position.

It would be advisable to arrange a suitable time to discuss your feelings with him in a calm and collected manner. It is important to be honest and open about your emotions and thoughts. It is crucial to remember that we are all adults and should not be afraid to express our feelings. If the situation does not progress as desired, it is important to move on and give each other the opportunity to start anew without hesitation.

Ultimately, it is imperative to pursue self-improvement. In this world, love cannot be concealed. Even if one attempts to suppress it, it will inevitably manifest in one's actions and expressions.

It is imperative to enhance one's own personal growth. Low-quality companionship is not as beneficial as high-quality solitude. Those who are in a loving relationship are often concerned about not providing sufficient support and attention, whereas individuals in less fulfilling relationships may have the opposite concern, namely that their partner is seeking excessive levels of intimacy and attention.

When one is capable of love, it is inevitable that another will reciprocate.

I can totally relate to how you're feeling. It's really frustrating when someone you like suddenly goes cold. Maybe he is just super busy with work, but it's also possible that his interest has faded. Either way, it would be better if he communicated clearly. You deserve honesty and respect.

It sounds tough, but sometimes people don't handle things well. If he's truly interested, he'll make time for you. In the meantime, try not to let this affect your selfesteem. You're worthy of someone who appreciates you for who you are.

Confusing signals from someone we're into can really throw us off. It seems like he might be going through something at work or in life that's affecting his behavior. If you feel up to it, maybe reach out once more and ask how he's doing. Sometimes a little understanding can go a long way.

This situation is definitely perplexing. It's important to remember that you can't control how others act, but you can choose how you respond. If he continues to be distant, it might be best to focus on yourself and what makes you happy. There will always be someone out there who recognizes your value.
