Quit Kissing Frogs

The "Pen Pal Guy" (& What To Do About Him)


Listen Later

You know the guy who will text you or message you on a dating app for weeks on end without ever asking you on a date? The guy you tell your friends about, saying, “No we haven’t gone out but we’ve been talking for awhile. He’s texting me every day, I think he really likes me!” This is the “pen pal guy.”  “Pen pal guys” trap you in a  cycle of flirty, charming conversation that starts out exhilarating and ends up exasperating because it never leads to an actual date, let alone a real-life relationship. In today’s episode we’ll talk all about why guys do the pen-pal thing, the dangers of this cycle, and how to break out of it and get him to finally ask you on a date!
