I made a pre-date social media boo-boo and I think I fucked up my chances.

On Friday I met a guy at the gym, a very social gym, and we hit it off right away. He was friendly, hella funny, flirty and would definitely make excuses to be touchy. He was attached to my hip for the rest of the night and we had a great time. At the end of the night he asks if I am single (I am), and if he could have my number (yes he could). We have a pretty good conversation after that, some small talk, some good discussion, until he has to leave. He asks me what I was up to this weekend (pretty busy, but free Saturday night) and he said we should go for coffee and he would text me (sounds good). He leaves, I say “see you tomorrow” and I’m a bundle of excitement. This never happens.

Saturday rolls around, and he texts me in the morning. We exchange a few texts, I allude to hanging out that night and things are fine. Now as soon as I added his number in my phone, Snapchat suggested I add him as a friend. I didn’t, but his username had his last name in it (something he hadn’t told me). So, wanting to check the guy out and see what his social media was all about, I look him up on Instagram. It’s private. Fine, let’s try Facebook. Nothing too interesting, my concentration lapses, aaaaand my thumb gets too close to the screen. I accidentally add him as a friend. Fuck. I immediately cancel the request, but can’t help but feel like I fucked up.

Now he hasn’t responded to any texts. He didn’t reply to the conversation we were having Saturday afternoon, definitely didn’t say anything Saturday night, and didn’t respond to the text I sent on Sunday saying “hey if you’re still interested I’m free this afternoon for coffee”.

I feel like I might be overthinking it, but he was the one that made every single move on Friday so it seems unlikely he would just change his mind.

So kids, moral of the story is, be careful while scouting out people you just met on social media 🙄
