By yogacat September 7, in Long-Distance Relationships. Alright folks. So I have been thinking about reaching out to this individual but I have some reservations. Initially, he pursued me and wanted to take me out on a date, I declined initially because I felt he was coming on a bit strong plus he lives out of state. The bit about coming on strong, not in a love-bombing way but asking me a lot of personal questions about what I am looking for and what I feel like I need in a relationship.
He would also mention a few things about myself that are true but I never told him and he would say that he gets the sense that I am a certain person based on vibes he gets from chatting with me. I felt that this was insightful and I was impressed but again, it felt a little too fast. This was communicated via messaging and I felt that was not appropriate to kind of dig into that level of personal information.
Anyway, I mentioned that if he's ever in my area it would be cool to meet up. He lives a bit of distance so I didn't see it as realistic hence why I declined the first date. He also mentioned that he had a poem that he was going to send me but he never did. So whatever, that was it.
I do admit I was pretty closed off with him initially. But recently, I felt curious about him and thought about reaching out to ask him how he was.
Not necessarily to date but to at least chat and learn a bit more about this person that I connected with for a tiny bit. He responded to something I had written but that was the extent of it and I didn't follow up. Mostly because I was still in hermit mode. I'm writing this because I've recently been approaching the prospect of relationships and what I want from them a bit differently. For me, it's the most natural approach and I am honestly curious about him so I thought it would make sense to ask.
