Backstory: I [26f] have been talking to this guy [26m] for 2.5 months. We met on a dating app, and have been talking every single day since. Sometimes through text, sometimes through snapchat. I really like this guy. Now I consider myself a fairly attractive woman...I am successful in a male-dominated industry (finance), hilarious, super down to earth, I am extroverted and always willing to try new things.
This guy and I have met up 3 times already. He lives 2 hours away so we've been trying to see each other on the weekends every 2 weeks. I'm supposed to be going down to see him next Wednesday. We have a lot of similar interests and I feel like we complement each other very well. We haven't been physical yet at all...not even holding hands. Just a hug when we see each other and when we leave. Its not a COVID thing because we have shared glasses trying each others drinks.
He said he's been on dating apps for a while but never really had any luck. The day he messaged me back in May was apparently the day he got back on them and I am the first girl he's met up with ever from the dating app. He doesn't really have any experience with dating and never really had any relationships before.
After meeting up for the 2nd time, I asked him where he saw things between us going. He told me that he's looking for a relationship but he still wants to meet new people and "keep his options open"...okay I understand, but if you are talking to someone for 2.5 months EVERYDAY and still want to continue seeing them then why not just commit to one person and see where things go? I know he's talking to other girls on the dating app still because I can see new girls following him (its easy to tell since there are less than 100 followers)
I don't understand..I know he's not just looking for a hook-up because we haven't been physical at all. I usually always initiate conversations with him or he will start after i send him a snap or something but today i didn't message him at all or snapchat him to see if he would message me first. He eventually did.
I don't know, I guess I'm just confused as to what might be going on in his head...but like the title says, guys who meet a great woman, what are your reasons for continuing to keep your options open?
