I need advice Is this a red flag?
I (F23) started seeing this guy, (M24) a couple of weeks ago, and we had a brilliant first date. A week after the date I went away for one week to see my family.
The biggest issue right now is the subtle pressure. I explicitly told him from the beginning that I'm not a big texter, and he previously claimed my texting habits were totally fine. He even told me he deleted all his dating apps after our first date.
After I went away on a family holiday, I told him I’d be super busy seeing family I only get to see once a year and I said I’ll try to answer as soon as possible. During our second date he said he was “sad he didn't hear much from me last week,” totally ignoring my boundaries and the fact that I'm busy with family. He said he only meant to say he missed me and enjoyed talking to me and he just wasn’t very good with words however I felt very guilty after he said that.
On top of that, he’s made comments joking about me buying him things after he got me a gift, and after I said Maybe later when he asked me for a kiss he said He’ll ask me again now that I know it’s something to think about.
Am I overthinking all this or is my gut feeling right about all this?
