Dear Daisy, GNamer Romantic Mishaps Thread

Since becoming single about a year ago, I've had the most active dating period of my entire life. There are a number of factors at play here, but basically for the first time in my life I live in a populated area, I have disposable income and I am a muscular, confident dude.

Some girls, I met once or twice and that was that. There were some who were very into me but I never reciprocated, some whom I liked a lot but didn't seem keen and so on.

There's a Japanese girl who I met pretty early on and have continued to see once a month or so. It's nice but something, perhaps a cultural and language barrier, perhaps a slight physical incompatibility, I don't know what, stops it from feeling like it can ever become something legitimately serious. I'll actually see her this weekend, I'm sure we'll have a perfectly pleasant time, but then I won't really think about her again until we see eachother in April.

Then there's an American girl, who lives in a small village between this city and the next. We got to talking over a mutual love of history, went on one date and really hit it off. We stayed in touch, but she's been A) busy with work and studies and B) much more paranoid than me about the pandemic and unwilling to travel.
She messaged me once or twice, I even joined some zoom jackbox nights with her friends, and I guess it felt like maybe there was a potential connection there but it was gonna be a slow burn.
Anyway, a couple of weeks back I go on a date with another girl, it goes nicely enough, we add eachother on facebook . . . it turns out she's friends with the above mentioned American girl who is suddenly wanting to meet up again! We went for a coffee, we're messaging a bit more, I'll see her again after her next exam . . . she's a little jealous! It's not the first time in my life girls have fought over me, but not gonna lie: it's a good feeling.

And then there's Meg.
Back in summer of last year, we connected on Tinder, hit it off, met for a date in her town a few stations south of me by Lake Suwa, had a nice time. We kept talking a little but kind of fell out of touch. She'd said she'd meet up when she was in the City but it never happened . . . until it did. We went for a ramen, she was kinda hungover, it was nice enough and we parted ways. I liked her, but didn't get the signals she liked me back.

Then last weekend I get to talking with a girl on another website. We immediately have an amazing connection, we feel like we need to meet up, but it turns out she's moving from Suwa to another city a little farther away soon. We agree to meet and talk Tueaday night on Zoom instead.

It's Meg.
After initially laughing, we actually talk for like 90 minutes. We both admit that we legit liked eachother and I guess we're just both bad judges of people liking us back. Suddenly, this girl I kind of liked last year and this new girl I was almost hoping I wouldn't like because I don't want to make a connection with someone in another prefecture . . . are actually the same, one girl and I really like her. I'm messaging her all the time, we're getting on super well, oh god I'm catching feelings . . . we've only been on two dates and it's probably gonna be at least a few weeks before we can meet in person again but that hasn't stopped my stomach from tying itself in knots and my chest opening up a big cavity that only closes when I get confirmation that she remembers I exist.
