Met a man 2 weeks ago, we had our first date last Friday (went well). He text me as soon as I was in the taxi asking if I would like to see him again etc.

Text me every day since, even on Christmas Day.

We arranged to meet tonight a couple of days ago. No set plan but we knew we were going out tonight.

Text him two hours ago telling him the plan.

Heard nothing back.

There is only 4 hours until I'm suppose to meet him.

He always texts back with a couple of minutes AND he's text me whilst he's been at work before.

What do I do?

Phone him or am I missing something???

twinklesparkles · 28/12/2012 16:33

You've still got 4 hours, I'd wait an hour or so, if no reply then not bother

Although you could ring him too :)

Texts aren't always reliable

JaneFonda · 28/12/2012 16:34

Four hours? That's ages, calm down!

I know you're worried, but if he backs out then he's not worth your time anyway. :)

Hmm phone him?

verytellytubby · 28/12/2012 16:36

I really don't understand why you can't ring him and ask him if you got your text and what the plans are.

I'm confused Confused

TogetherInParis · 28/12/2012 16:39

Well he'd still be at work right now so I doubt he could take a phone call.

But it's just odd because he always texts me back within minutes so...

Similar happened to me with a guy I was dating and I am really defensive with men and assumed he'd just ditched me and sent him some rather uncomplimentary texts :-S he did get in touch eventually and turns out his truck has broken down (he was a driver) and his phone had no battery. Of course I'd blown it by that point and felt very embarrassed. Dating is hard but don't be a fool like me! Give him the benefit of the doubt till you know for certain.

When did you last hear from him?

BarredfromhavingStella · 28/12/2012 17:02

So ring him when he's finished work??

There could be a number of reasons.

The last time, my own phone was not taking any calls or receiving texts, for some reason. I had to turn it off and on again.
Another time, I forgot the code and it took a while to recover it. Blush

Phone him?

Otherwise skip date if you get no confirmation. And arrange another time when he gets back in touch with a decent explanation.

Wallison · 28/12/2012 17:08

Phone him. No point sitting there fretting. If the last you heard from him was before you had concrete plans, then it's perfectly reasonable to phone to confirm if you haven't had a response to your text.

Montybojangles · 28/12/2012 17:50

Maybe he's in a meeting with the phone on silent? Batteries run out? Left phone at home by mistake? Wait til after his work time and call/ retext.
Hope you have a lovely evening Smile
