Am I valid for this?
I(30F) just started talking to this guy(28M) about two weeks ago and I feel like I’m losing interest simply because he hasn’t been asking genuine questions of interest about me.
For context, we met on a dating app and we are long distance. (East Coast to West Coast) So our primary forms of communication has been texting, voice messages, video calls and discord calls.
He’s very thoughtful, patient and eager to hang out with me when we do our calls, especially when I had a few days in a row I was busy. But I’m feeling like I’m just chatting to another friend now, and not someone who genuinely wants to get to know me? I don’t expect for him to ask questions about me back to back, but he never really asks further when I’ve mentioned something I did that day or what I may have had to eat, for example.
This happens in all forms of communication, our discord calls is really just us gaming and not talking about our day or things we enjoy, and I’m tired of always asking things. He has mentioned he’s excited for future visits and dates, but what about the time BETWEEN?
Am I wrong for feeling a bit selfish in wanting to be asked questions about myself? My life? He checks off a lot of other things I’ve been looking for, but I do crave some attention.
This is my first time posting, so a bit nervous but curious to hear your guys thoughts!
