Would like to add in to the echo chamber that you’re not ready for any relationship at the moment. I suspect you’re panicking and self-sabotaging your long distance relationship because on some level, you know you don’t want it. LDRs and online relationships are great because you can keep them at arms length. You can put energy into them exclusively online and go about your “real” life and forget about them.

You KNOW you’re not ready to to settle down. That’s about all I think you know. I think you messaged Mr. I’d-Like-To-Sleep-With-You because maybe you want to feel wanted. That’s an ok thing. But you also know you don’t really actually like him.

But really – You can just stop messaging him. It’s fine. I promise you it probably happens to him every other day because he’s probably having similar conversations with a dozen other girls. He’ll maybe be disappointed. That’s about it.
