Sorry for the long post, here it goes,
I had a 2 month fling with a guy that I met from Tinder. He was a clever guy and had good taste in stuff and wasn’t being flirty in an obvious way while talking: qualities that I like in a guy. So we met up almost every week for 2 months, he was busy with schoolwork and sometimes would not write for a week. Then either I would write or he would. In most messaging I would write more. First 3 dates I felt like I was pushing for a conversation, but in later that dates we kissed and cuddled, also did more sexual stuff. It felt good sharing that intimacy. However, after our last date, we just could’nt arrange a movie date and he has not texted me for over a month. Purposely I didn’t too becauae I don’t want to look too needy. I feel sad and like I need closure. Even though he told me He didn’t see the responsiblity in himself to pursue a serious relationship, I actually wanted that: from the moment I met him I wanted a deep relationship and did not talk to another person on tinder. Which is ridiculous I know because this is Tinder. So should I just give myself time or continue swiping right on Tinder? I talk to few people but I just dont’ feel like it (I am also paranoid, just maybe going on Tnder may help me relax and not always think For the long run.

Quick note: I never had a romantic relationship with a guy before him, only a 2 week fling that I really don’t care right now

It was never like a serious relationship, there was always that feeling of “hanging out” that I got from him. It seemed as though he liked me, I also him. He was so attentive when we cuddled. It was romantic

A month of waiting and no word? He's moved on. You should too. And yeah, Tinder is not the place to find a serious relationship. You can do better girl.

Move on. By the sounds of it, he just wanted a fling and now isn't interested. It's not a pessimistic view, it's a I've done that to someone view. Keep swiping right, or up.

I think that you are giving us a textbook example as to why it is usually a mistake to go out with someone that is looking for something different in the relationship. It sounds like he didn't ever have any intentions of getting serious and you did right from the beginning. Now he has to move on and you are heartbroken.

PS. I think that there are more people on tinder looking for a serious relationship than you think (including me)
