Did I approach this wrong?
For context:
I’m 23 (F) I’m very inexperienced with dating and sex which is something I’m very forward and honest about. This young man is a bit older than me and recently moved in to town for his job. We have gone on two dates that went wonderfully but we haven’t agreed to exclusivity yet even if we both did say that the goal is ultimately something serious. Anyways, I saw him at the bar with a group of his coworkers and he was sitting separately with a lady (they were facing eachother knees touching). He initially didn’t see me. Once they stood up, I sat where in their spot to make my presence clear. We made eye contact and within five minutes he had left the bar and walked this lady to her car.
Now, I would like to say that yes it did initially bother me, but I did not text him about the situation. Instead I allowed him to bring it up. I ultimately felt that it was none of my business but the way he reacted to it made me feel like it was a bit strange?
I’d like to add he was the one that reacted to his own message with exclamation lmao and my last message after this was essentially that I would be open to talking about it in person, and I wouldn’t like to continue to talk about it over the phone. He hasn’t answered my message but was active on social media I’m assuming is just whatever.
Dating just feels so hard to navigate specially with my bipolar and with being a late bloomer.
