I (26F) met a guy (40sM) the beginning of this year walking our dogs. In tandem, I also met his then gf. Around spring, I started seeing him alone with his dog and didn't think too much of it but would make nice conversation with him whenever we ran itno each other with. In June he asked me for my number so our dogs could hang out since they played so well together and we went on like 2-3 walks with our dogs.
Around August, he asked me out for drinks but I wasn't into him at the time and (truthfully) told him I had to be up the next day at 6am so I couldn't do drinks. Since then we've hung out a lot more with our dogs, going on walks (2-3 hours), especially Sept & Oct, with some flirting coming from his end. Sometime then I told him I'd be open for drinks at some point but bc we've both been very busy at work etc., we individually decided to be sober until ~November.
Then last week he said he didn't want to wait until drinks to spend time together so he suggested dinner and I agreed for this upcoming Wednesday. Well, yesterday, I was walking my dog with a friend, and saw him with his ex. (The gf I met earlier in the year.) Our dogs were elated and played with each other but I made a quick exit shortly after and it's been crickets since then.
I feel so stupid :( . I know I'm going to get flamed and people will say I shouldn't take this to heart but I can't help but feel sad and delusional. He probably considered us just friends - dinner was never explicitly expressed as a date.
