I'm scared that this bumble guy is wasting my time
about 2 weeks ago I matched with a SUPER cute guy on bumble. exactly my type, super good looking, so shot him a message. turns out we get along super well over text, and for the past 2 weeks, we've literally been both snapchatting and texting almost 24/7. we respond to eachother extremely quickly so the interest is pretty evident. we have a lot of the same beliefs, hobbies, interests, and we're both juniors in college (home because of corona, but our schools are about an hour from eachother anyway).
a bit ago I asked him what he was on bumble for in the first place, and he told me he didn't exactly know yet but that he was hoping to meet someone cool. i told him the same but that I was more of a relationship-type, and he said he was as well.
our talks get pretty deep, he asks very genuine questions about my life and is sweet/supportive, we just vibe really well over text. i've wanted to video chat but he told me he normally feels kind of awkward. he hasn't explicitly mentioned meeting up once this quarantine is over yet, which was another thing I'm worried about (but then again he told me he's actually super shy). he does seem like a genuinely good guy and through his social media he seems normal/popular.
anyway, a few nights ago we were talking and he asked why a "pretty girl" like me is wasting my time on dating apps. so I was like oh what, are you just like all the rest of them (jokingly) and he said yes (not sure if joking or not). conversation got weirder and I said I was just hoping someone would be special eventually and that maybe I was looking in the wrong places and he said maybe!
it's hard to explain the conversation through a text post but it was just weird and I went from feeling like "omg awesome, here's a guy that seems genuinely interested in me/my life that I could potentially get along really well with in real life" to "omg, is he just another one wasting my time and did I already play myself by talking to him so much".
my natural instinct is to pull back and I'm paranoid now. I almost want to be like sooo are you wasting my time? but I think that's a little rude/forward.
what should I do here? TIA :/
