F*** buddy/friend situation

Leave him alone. Find something/someone else to think about for the time being. You may be aware that you are not desperate for him to fall in love with you, but you are unfortunately, probably, giving him that impression because that's a little bit how you are coming across in your posting.
The thing about fuckbuddies is that, while they should always be people that you quite like (as in, no loons or total liabilities and definitely no knobbers who are violent or light-fingered), they are not partners and don't necessarily want to be in constant contact with you when you are not actually having or arranging to have sex.
The most likely time for a fuckbuddy set up to go wrong is when one of the parties has too much time on his/her hands and therefore starts thinking about The Relationship too much. Go and find something interesting to do. Don't text him again to say, sorry for being stalkerish as this will, unfortunately, look even more stalkerish and desperate. DO not contact him at all until he contacts you.
I would leave it until you saw him face to face. If you just can't bear to wait then I would call/text/email him to say that you only want to be friends. But best to leave it and then act that way/tell him in person. And then just get on with being friends. Just don't keep digging a hole for yourself.
PS I am not judging you what two single adults decide to do. Life is short and to be enjoyed.
Listen - if he is your friend, he will be in touch. It sounds to me that he is not such a good friend as you think.
Maybe you will have to write him off.
Just to let you know that a delivery report only tells you that the text has reached the phone, it doesn't tell you that the message has been read, there isn''t a way of tracking when a message is actually read....
Nope. As I said, I regretted sleeping with him, and am happier as friends. But seemed to have messed that up

would you like to me more than his buddy??
Thanks, it was him asking, for 3 days, if he could "Come round for coffee

" and I eventually let him

Now, he's blanking me. It kinda feels like an ego trail for him, by me txting him I'm chasing him?

I've not txt since yesterday, and nothing, hes online but not talking

Agree with Dior. And you know not to go there again. If all you fancy is a shag, maybe stay away from pals/mates and acquaintances so as to not interfere with friendships etc.
We all make mistakes though at some point in our lives and mistakenly shag someone we know we shouldn't have shagged. Hindsight is a beautiful thing

If he is a 'great friend', you won't have lost him. The second text was unnecessary though. Just leave him be and if he is a real friend he will call you.
Well i've delivery notices on + it said delivered almost instantly so he'd read them both but not replied, either way i'll leave him be, he knows where i am.
meh, you might be wrong.. I dont think your texts were that bad. He's probably just busy ..

First text was in the morning.
Second text was the next day

I'm regretting it all, and think ive lost a great friend here.
I frequently dont respond to texts straight away, can sometimes take days to get back to people, especially if it was to a message like your first one. He might have just been busy..
how long did you wait before sending the second one?
The first text isn't really asking question that requires a response tbh. Its not one I would respond to anyway, would have read it and thought 'thats nice' and then put phone away.
If I got the 2nd text though, it would strike me as slightly clingy (sorry).
I think you have developed some feelings for this guy and you should try and distance yourself a little so you don't get hurt.
i'd leave it be now, he'll probably get in touch once he's back from work.
if he doesn't then you have lost a friendship due getting sex mixed up again i'm afraid.
if you try and pursue him to meet face to face this could hugely backfire on you too.
i know if i'm after some space, someone contacting me to confront them with the situ is my worst nightmare.
give him space. no contact for a while at all,at least while he's working away, you might get your friendship back.
Squeaver hes up the country now with work. wont be back down this way for another 2-3wks, so my only way of contact (which im not going to do) is email, text, call.
Riven I know that, now. I've no intentions of doing it again + fwiw i dont want a relationship with him hes not the settle down type. As I said i hugely regret sleeping with him because its ruined the friendship that was there it seems..
BIWT thanks i'm not doing anything, if he wants to contact me he can but i'm done.
Op - leave him for a couple of days then speak to him face to face. You two need a clear the air session.
Hecate - you are the urban dictionary of MN

without wanting to sound judgey, which I will, I think these sort of situations are a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea. Any man on the planet is going to be up for a no-commitment shag. I mean, its being offered, why wouldn't he!
And now mesy feelings are involved. If a man is your friend and isn't into a relationship then don't sleep with him unless you are ok with the aftermath.
Sounds like he's no longer a fuck buddy, but someone you have developed feelings for - or at least your texts are giving off those vibes.
Just leave it and wait for him to contact you.
lol

no i dont want more from him, it was a mistake sleeping with him again despite the amazing sex

we're better off friends + i know that, but hes ignoring totally ?
oh sorry, bunny boiler type - fatal attraction!

second text was your mistake. Sounds desperate.
Do you want more from him?
whats bunny boiler type ?
1st txt said "Thanks for last night, hope you have a safe journey x" he was travelling that day.
2nd txt said "How nice of you to have replied!!! lol"

sounds messy to me!
riven - someone you have sex with but aren't in a relationship with. Mututal scratching of an itch, iyswim.
Except often one person wants more than just sex and is only doing it in the hope the other will love them and it gets messy!
what did the texts say? not of the bunny boiler type I hope?
what is a 'fuck buddy'?
I'm annoyed with myself, I've been good friends with this man for 2.5yrs ish, we've slept together a couple of times as F* buddy's, which at the time was fine & amazing sex. But after the 2nd time, I decided I couldn't do it anymore & stopped the f* buddy part and we were just friends.
Then we stupidly slept together tues/weds night + now hes not talking to me ? I have no idea why hes read the 2 txts i sent him but not replied..
What do i do here? jst leave it be now? not sure what to say or what ive done wrong ? !
any ideas?
