about two months or so ago I matched with this guy on bumble who seemed like my literal dream guy. we hit it off right away and talked (snap and text) constantly for 2 weeks or so, when he finally asked me on a socially distant beach date. I said yes ofc, and he then disclosed that he wasn't ready to jump into anything/just wanted to casually date rn because he ended a long term relationship back in the fall. I basically told him I was looking for something more serious but that we could still go on a date. from then on things started to get weird- he expressed that he thought I was mad at him but I thought the same, and our snaps got much more spaced out. he stopped texting me as much (had been sending good morning texts and all). eventually we kind of just stopped texting in general but continued to snap, just not at the same frequency. we still ended up going on a date and I think it went well, and now we're back to snapping pretty often but we haven't really texted unless I send him something. he'll start convos on snap but I feel like they're different than they were previously (we used to send paragraphs upon paragraphs getting to know each other with deep stuff). I want to text and talk more but I'm scared I'm not picking up on signals that he's not that interested and I'm honestly kind of scared to randomly text him and just be like hey what are you up to!

sooo... am I missing something here? does he sound interested? disinterested? I know the vibe definitely changed but I think I need to be careful jumping to conclusions about that meaning he automatically hates me or something. I'd love to try and get things back to how they were but I'm scared to try.

TIA ladiesss:)
