Girl, you are not the helpless victim here. If he really "won't let you go" then call the police because that is kidnapping.
It's this simple. If you didn't want to see him, you wouldn't. My best advice is to take a break from dating and figure out why you would date a married man knowing full well that it will not end with you two happily ever after.
That guilt you are feeling is there to tell you that you are doing something you know you shouldn't be doing.
You're not old-fashioned at all. Yeah, eventually phone numbers need to be exchanged, but the first message is not the time. I've messaged this one man about nine times and he just asked if he could send me his number so that we could talk about meeting. He gets major points for that in my book.
Another way I am going to handle things is to insist on a quick coffee date before numbers are exchanged. That way you get to meet in a nice safe public place and then you can trust your instincts on whether or not you would like to give them your number.
I seem to have trouble moving past the message stage. Isn't the goal on these sites is to eventually meet someone?
One person seemed really into me, but doesn't want to seem to put forth the effort to meet, but wants to text all the time. I'm fairly certain it wasn't a catfish situation. Regardless I moved on but it seems common that people are fine with just messaging.
I'm fairly new to this, but I'm frustrated that I haven't had a real date as of yet. I was in a really long relationship and was excited about the prospect of being able to date, but so far it sure hasn't been any fun.
One of the problems is that I am not someone that enjoys texting. It drives me nuts that first you message through the site, then they want to move the messaging to some other site or app and then maybe the phone. What's the difference?
