I am confused, uneasy, and slightly afraid at people's unpredictability. I got love bombed for three days straight (we're talking texts, VN's and videos back and forth). We're super giddy, excited, flirty, interested, connecting, the energy/momentum is high. He's telling me how beautiful I am, he's blushing at the sound of my voice, we're sharing food pics, he wants to cook for me in the future, sharing video games, our pop figurines lmao all these things.
Only for this man to ask me out to the movies, and then look at me (and react) as if though I were... just someone he immediately did not want to be around? His body language was immediately telling. He couldn't look me in the eye, walked ahead of me, and at a fast pace. Within 10-minutes of meeting up, he says he's "light headed" and not feeling well. I tell him we can sit somewhere until he feels better, but he prefers to keep walking.
We go to the movies, ended up picking a random movie at 10:25pm [it is 8:30ish at this point]. We walk around the shopping center, now he compliments my dimples, how good i smell, but his body language still screams "I don't want to get close to you."
He then says he needs to call his mom to check on her, as she isn't feeling well [he walks far away from me to call]. He returns to say he has to go check on his mom [he lives around the corner of the theater]. He hugs me twice, calls me a beautiful soul. He lingered, and I was like, Well ok hurry and check on your ma. And he tells me to text him when I get home.
I text him within 10-minutes i'm home, and that i hope his mom is ok. He says, "I can still smell you... yes she's fine, thank god. I hope you got home safely" with some heart emojis. At this point it is only 9:30pm. He could have easily insisted we go back to the movies, but he doesn't. Instead, he proceeds to post several reels and stories on IG.
I'm not mad it didn't go anywhere, because I wasn't feeling him either. But I was raised with the decency to finish a night. To be polite, to sit through a movie, and chat. The body language, him calling his mom [which i honestly think was bullshit], was as if I was some horrible creature he needed to get away from?? Super weird night.
