Had enough

These dating apps are terrible, I only started chatting to someone Sunday morning , I’ve had a busy weekend so haven’t had much time to reply to him, but I would have done, I was out yesterday evening he sent me a message but I was so tired I thought I would message him back today, but it’s my day off work I’ve been busy washing, food shopping, housework, I was going to reply to him at lunchtime and he had already messaged a ghost emoji 🙄 he only messaged me last night! So I sent him a message saying now I know why I hate online dating he messaged back let’s leave it there shall we, and blocked me, I mean talk about impatient! How does he know I didn’t have a family emergency or anything really.

How would he know anything you didnt message him.
I mean we all have busy lifes now but it takes less than a few seconds to text a small reply.
As simple as sorry really busy talk later or maybe when you sat down with a coffee you could have sent a message.
It takes 2 to start a relationship and also takes 2 to getting to know each other it works both ways.
For the sound of it op your not ready for the dating life yet.

I read on MN when its him that dont reply all weekend because hes so busy well this is the same thing.

I dont blame him for saying lets leave it here after waiting all weekend then you say something cheeky for no reason.
Sorry op but this is your fault not the dating app.

He messaged me last night I didn’t reply as I was out with friends, there’s nothing wrong with messaging the next day, and all he sent today was a ghost emoji, because I hadn’t answered him, which I thought was very childish

we were chatting Sunday I told him I was going out, I’m not going to sit there messaging him when I’m out with friends, he didn’t wait all weekend for a reply at all, he waited one evening which I don’t think is unreasonable.

You sound snappy.
Hes gone now so just look again online for someone else.

And he sounds very needy and impatient so a lucky escape methinks
