We additionally met on Hinge in April and just have been constantly chilling out since. He’s 19 decades avove the age of me personally, but addresses me personally like an equal. He’s discussed a couple of times which he cannot date one or more person and therefore the guy wants me personally much, but i am however perhaps not ready to get to the next level with him, whatever that is.
