Okay so this is gonna be a tad long sorry girls, and the "like like" part is just a joke trying to stay lighthearted 😄

So I was bored after being single for a while and went on Tinder just expecting to pass the time. I see this really cute guy who was near me so I swipe and we match

I see hes 20 and I'm 19. Hes in the Military and im in school to become a Teacher. We casually text for 2 days then we move onto Snapchat. I didn't have any expectations of anything serious happening from meeting someone on Tinder except maybe a few dates cause obviously there's a "mood" tinder has (😏💦👉🏽👌🏽). So were texting, and we're texting, and texting, and somehow 2 weeks have passed! We tried to meet up but there was a snow storm so he called me instead. We talked for 4 hours until we couldn't keep our eyes open anymore

I really enjoyed talking to him and hearing about his life and his day, he told me he told his mom about me and she was the one who suggested he call me to make sure I wasn't a catfish(gotta love moms lol). So everything continues to go smoothly and we finally meet up. He was so happy I was real and he did the "my hand is so cold... see feel it!" Trick so I would hold his hand which I thought was cute. He was really nervous which caught me off guard cause usually that's me. So we get boba tea and see a movie. We hold hands and kiss and all that. Then after the movie things started to heat up and we both consensually did the deed. (Not in the theaters dont worry..)

Afterwards I was a little worried because 1) hes a stranger basically

idk if he had STDs so stupid of me for that and 2) I felt like one of "those girls" like I was easy and he was just gonna stop talking to me after that. (Also after a while I realised girls shouldn't be labeled for being "easy" girls can do whatever tf they want)

HOWEVER. It's been 3 weeks and we still talk every day. Hes busy and so am I so I am only available to hang out Friday-Saturday after 7pm. We haven't met up since and the reasonings he said were 1) the first week he was super drained Friday so he went to bed after work then Saturday he hung out with his friends. 2) the second week he hung out with his friends Friday and Saturday he had a work thing. And 3) his car tabs are expired and he ordered new ones but they didn't come in time and living on base they'll give him a ticket if he tries to leave. So I'm like hmmm does he like me or am I just someone to pass the time with? Cause why wouldn't he chose me over his friends. But I also never asked him straight up like HEY. I WANNA SEE YOU FRIDAY DONT MAKE PLANS. Is that too upfront or no?

Over the past month I have started to have feelings for him as more than an acquaintance. He is SUPER close to his friends like they go everywhere together and he said on our first date they gave him a lot of crap for not hanging out with them. I'm just like how are you supposed to get to know me better if we dont hang out but also he doesn't know me enough to want to chose me over them lol.

Any comments are welcome I'm just wondering if anyone has similar stories? If it sounds like something fishy is going on or if it sounds like he just doesn't see this as a big deal? Should I just ask him straight up how he is feeling? Idk why I'm shy to do that i feel like it might be something that would push him away?? Below are some of our texts lol
