I met this guy online. And he's really nice. Seems like a genuine guy. Before we met face to face he would text me non stop. Every day all day long. He's fully aware that I'm a single mom to 10 month old twin girls. He knows I work like crazy and don't know what the word sleep means lol.

I really started getting frustrated when I would text him and say "it's been a long day; I'm exhausted; the girls just fell asleep so I'm going to call it a night" and he responds with something like "I'm sure it's been a long day for you. I can imagine! So how was your day? Did you happen to look up that video from earlier? What do you prefer; chevy or ford? I like the Nova. I made a pasta dish today that was so good I'll have to make pasta for you sometime. I'm really really excited to meet you." (For the record, this was spread out over maybe 6 texts between the hours of 2am and 6am) and then by 6:30 , he has to say goodmorning, ask how I slept, how the girls slept, and if I am getting ready for work or not.

And when I'm busy at work all day, I rarely check my phone. If it's an emergency and daycare needs me, they call the front reception who of course always answers and then they page me right away. So I don't check my cell. But after work I pick up the girls from daycare and usually discover a dozen texts from the day.

Again he seems nice. So I met up with him on my own for dinner. And let's just say he was awful. Nice. But super awkward. And has weird habits. Maybe it was just the nerves. But it was the longest dinner of my life. And of course, he had a great time and can't wait to see me again and the texting has doubled. He's alright making comments like "some day if we get married".

I know we all hate being ghosted and have been hurt by it at some point and time. But I'm seriously considering just ignoring his texts. Because I am not a clingy person. I can go two days without texting. Not because I'm rude just because I have a life. And my girls are my life. Itd be like having three babies if I got with him.

Am I horrible?? I know some girls would kill to have someone like this because they've been with people who don't care or give them the time of day. But I feel like there has to be a balance. You know??
