Potential boyfriend

[matt_tgr]

Hey guys, I have a small problem here. I've met this awesome boy on Tinder about a week ago. We've started talking and I really like him now, I think he does too. Though we haven't met yet. Although we've already started talking about meeting and actually started making plans.
But here's the horrible part: his dad died just a couple of days ago. I'm pretty sure he must feel devastated and I'm not sure what I should do. I'm afraid that if I leave him alone for a week or two, our relationship won't be the same. But I really don't want to annoy him with my messages and come across as a total dick.
What would you guys do?

I think you should be there for your friend. Try talking to him and see if you can help. But if he doesn't want to talk, respect his privacy and give him some time to recover. Its a big loss for him.

I did tell him I'm really sorry for his loss. Today i did text him "text when you want to talk" in the morning. He hasn't replied to me after that. You think I should wait or try and talk to him?

I think you should wait. You gave a direct message. If he wants to talk, he'll get back to you but pestering him to talk to you about his personal loss may make him sour towards you.

Ok thanks mate! Not talking to him, even for a day, is pretty tough. Oh well, hopefully everything will work out well 😞

No problem at all.
Not exactly in the same boat but i know how tough it might be.
I hope too that everything works out well enough for you two. C:

That must be so hard on you, I guess with all the family stuff and so on for him he is busy and although he maybe as keen to speak to you - he cannot or simply is busy.

Maybe give it a few days even and msg him again if he has not got back in touch,

Yeah, it's pretty hard. I feel like we really connected, you know? But ofc it must be sooooo hard for him. Can't even imagine how he must feel

[SethfromMI]

honestly man I don't think he is going to be offended you are checking in h=on him if you are close enough to making plans to meet. that is what friends do. I feel bad for the guy and I don't know him at all.

it can be quick. tell him how sorry you are and if he needs anything that you can help with (within reason of course) be ready for him. in your case right now, it just may be a listening ear.

he may want to be alone and if so respect that. but I don't think he would be upset you wanted to reach out to him in his dark hour. if anything, he will probably be grateful for it
