Hearing from Old Flame

[Anonymous]

Some guy I went on like five dates with back in November then faded out emailed me randomly....that weird?

This is super common. Probably he faded out because he met someone else, and now that relationship has ended so he's reconsidering other options.

I did some online dating last summer and I have gotten a few messages recently from people I chatted with briefly back then. I wonder if social distancing is making them desperate.

Simple explanation:

Men are idiots who throw anything against a wall to see what sticks.

Sincerely,

A man

Yeah, I thought we were talking about a super intense relationship from college, not five dates from a few months ago.

Ha ha!! Five dates five months ago in NO WAY makes this guy an “old flame”!!!


First, it has to be years old - generally over a decade. And second, it had to be a hot flame to start out with way back when.

What you have is “a guy you when on five dates with five months ago”.


And now I’ve forgotten your question.

Okay, I reread your post. No it’s not weird - he’s just bored. Not to knock you at all but it’s not like either of you are able to be out there meeting new people so he just reached out. Don’t read into it, OP.

+1, I went on a lack luster date back in June of 2019 and the guy is now my neighbor and has sent me messages asking if I’d like to come over and grill multiple times since social distancing has begun.

Don't feel so special. He is just going down the list, hitting them all up.
