Matched with a guy on an app a few weeks ago. We had great chemistry texting/calling, so I was very much looking forward to meeting him. All despite the fact I wasn't overly attracted to his photos; I was more than willing to give him a shot.

Man. I felt like I'd been reversed catfished. He was SO much better looking irl. I actually became super nervous, awkward, and shy. Despite this, he asked to see me again.

We met up again, and it felt much less awkward, but still far from perfect. He said he had a great time after, but his communication slowed down, and I felt a shift in his energy.

For reasons separate from him, I deleted the app a few days ago. Before doing so, I messaged him (on the app, not text) saying I wasn't unmatching him, I just needed a mental break from the apps. Then made a joke that his pictures were the only thing worth staying for, but he was much more handsome irl, so I'd be okay.

He hasn't said a thing about it - so I'm now second-guessing myself. I did ask if we could get together next weekend, to which he agreed.

Do I mention this to him? Do I just ignore the message I sent? Reiterate that I do find him attractive?
