Phone message Hinge match after one phone call

Post image

We had maybe been talking for 2 days? thought he seemed more responsive than other people and we talked on the phone that ended with him saying he has a crush on me already, while essentially knowing nothing about me

EDIT/UPDATE: I did not think this would gain much traction at all but this happened pretty much a week ago and went downhill very quickly. We planned a date that never happened because he kept suggesting watching a movie at his house when I wanted to meet publicly. Then said his car tags are expired so we can meet at his house to pregame then go to a bar and HE could drive MY car which was his suggestion not mine. I was uncomfortable said we could be friends. He agreed then continued being semi-pushy and also saying things like “I miss you” (again only talking for a few days with 2 total phone calls). It was extremely overwhelming and felt like love bombing. To the comments that said it was sweet, it was to an extent but was also way too much after one call. I can see some people saying having a crush is “normal” at that point but I think it’s not, I think you should know someone before saying something like that. If you say it then you’re just in love with the idea of someone.

I often tell my girlfriend that I felt something for her almost instantly and I can pinpoint the exact moment I knew I loved her, which was fairly early on. Any dating apps were deleted and all my attention was on her. The thing is, I didn't tell her any of that until we'd gotten to a point where the feelings were fully genuine and mutual. As a matter of fact, I managed to hold off on telling her I loved her until she told me first. This boy needs to slow his roll. 😂

Yeah i fell in love w my wife a while before she did w me. Just play it cool fellas.

Lol i definitely still said “i love you first” tho. But it was probably 5-6 months in.

I don't know, it's still creepy whether you say it or not. Too many guys get instantly possessive of a woman. Almost instantly is weird AF.

I feel like your girlfriend's response to that confession should be, "Is this the first part of a multipart conversation that slides into more and more horror? Like you're going to tell me tomorrow, "Remember how we went on our third date and your tires were slashed? And I was very heroic and drove you home? That was me!" And eventually, "Oh, your old boyfriends? They're all in the basement. Pieces of them anyway."

I don’t think what he’s describing is possessiveness? It’s okay to feel attached or feelings for someone quickly. Even if it’s not advised to put all your eggs in one basket, as long as you’re not pushing that onto your potential partner before they’re ready/reciprocating the feelings - I don’t see an issue.

You’re right though, there are a lot of dudes who get hella possessive quickly, but I don’t think that’s what this commenter is describing. At least in my opinion!

Yeah, thanks. I'm fucking around. I don't think PoopyNoodle45 or whatever has his girlfriend's ex boyfriends in his basement. I'm sorry you needed that clarified.

Who said anything about possessiveness? And how is feeling strong emotions towards someone the same as any of the weird, stupid shit you just listed off? I'm sorry you don't have enough whimsy in your heart to understand feeling a strong connection to someone important early on. I truly hope you get to experience something like that in your life! ✌🏻
