Trust your instincts. For some men a relationship isn't the goal. Sex is the goal and they abruptly drop the nice guy act once they have it.
If you hear from him again it will only be breadcrumbs so he can get laid. Block him and maintain your dignity, you weren't to know he would behave like this as he was putting on a convincing act.

Did he specifically say he was looking forward to the 3rd date, using the number? There is a "thing" where women will wait until the third date to rule out men just wanting sex, but men know this so just keep the mask on a bit longer, expect sex on the third date and then fuck off.

Either way, the way he behaved after sex was at best thoughtless and unkind, and at worst to make you feel used and a bit humiliated. Do you want to be with someone who makes you feel like that? I'd message him - don't wait around on his time - and tell him you're not interested in taking things further. Take control, and leave him to wonder.

Good for you getting out there. You had a good time and you've lost nothing. Dick is not in short supply, so don't settle for another dick at the end of one.

Thank you for all the responses so far.

No, he didn’t word it as “can’t wait for the 3rd date” specifically. I guess I wrote it that way for context and to make the timeline clearer for the readers. He said “I’m looking forward to seeing you when you’re back” but you’re properly right in thinking he knew I’d “put out” on the 3rd date.

I just feel very used considered he’d held my hand for a lot of the night, had his arm around me while watching the band. Then the second he was “satisfied” it all switched very suddenly and I had no eye contact since.

You're definitely not overreacting and it's sad that your friend's bar is set so low.

Threesacrow · 25/08/2025 01:37

He's made you feel used, what a dick. So sorry, you really don't deserve to be treated like this. He's a user, not a keeper, and you're better off without him.

Sounds like he isn't the one for you. If he were, you would be totally comfortable with his behavior. You need something different, so I'd move on, with no regrets.

Exactly

TesChique · 25/08/2025 01:35

Youre not overreacting. Follow your gut. Throw him back

You're not overreacting. If you don't like how he reacted, don't see him again. He's not for you and you deserve better ❤️

KookySnail · 25/08/2025 01:24

I didn’t mean to add that Giphy either!! 😅Not use to posting on here.

Nope, you're not overreacting. If you don't like how he acted afterwards then don't see him again. He's not for you and you deserve better.

Edited as OP updated her post 😊

posted far too soon.

Im considering calling things off when/if he decides to get in touch again for how he acted towards me after we first slept together. But im unsure if im jumping the gun, so to speak.

Met a guy 3 weeks ago. Had two very good dates. He was a gentleman. Very kind towards me. Late last week I went on holiday for my friends birthday, he remained in contact via text regularly. Told me he can’t wait for our 3rd date once I’m home. My flight back was on Friday, and our 3rd date was last night. I came to his side of the city we live in and we went out for cocktails and to watch a band play. Afterwards we went back to his which was around the corner from the venue. Everything felt right and we slept together for the first time (first time I’d had sex in over 6 months). It was very good, passionate… we both enjoyed it. Everything I thought it would be.

The second it was over and he’d ‘finished’ he exclaimed how good it was, then turned his back to me, grabbed his phone and set his alarm for 7am (on a Sunday morning). He had plans with his friend in the afternoon but wanted to go to the gym beforehand early in the morning. He said “You can stay if you want but just so you know I’ll be up at 7am” he said this while his back to be. Then went straight to sleep, not facing me. I stayed on the other side of the bed and eventually fell asleep myself, I felt awkward being there. I would have expected a hug at least afterwards, but put it down to him being tired I guess.

Alarm went off at 7am, we both woke up. I said good morning, he replied in kind. Again no touching or looking over at me, he jumped straight out of bed. We got to sleep at 2am so I’m pretty tired, but I get up out of bed myself and go to his bathroom. By the time I get out he’s looking through his wardrobe deciding what he wants to wear for the day. I sit on his bed and book my Uber, I attempt to make small talk, and ask more about his plans for the day with his friend. Again doesn’t look at me which replying. At this point I felt like I’d served my purpose the night before and was no longer nessessary.

my uber arrives, he walks me to his door, the uber driver has parked at the end of his street due to road works that had taken place over the week. He says bye to me as I walk down the road.

Ive not heard from him at all. No “did you get home okay?” Or “I had a good night” text. Nothing.

My friend is convinced he’ll eventually text and he was just busy today, but being busy has never stopped him before. And to be honest I’m a put out by how distant he was after we had sex for the first time. He knows I don’t have casual sex and hadn’t slept with anyone for over 6 months, I felt like his behaviour was inconsiderate and I feel quite used. If he does decide to reach out to me again I don’t think I’ll want to continue as this has made me view him in a different light.

my friend thinks I’m overreacting. Am I?
