to expect a text after we slept together?

BigOCupOfTea · 25/10/2015 13:43

So I've been seeing a guy for around a month and we had our fifth date and I stayed at his and we slept together.

We both left early as he had work.

He would have finished work by now and I've heard nothing from him.

Am I expecting too much?

LOL @ CurlyhairedAssassin

By the way, your dress looks lovely tonight, and we're all loving the show

I think there is some block Eastern European foul play voting that means the final result is unfair and will be nul points to the UK don't text vote.

CheersMedea · 25/10/2015 17:51

I will send 3 texts in a row if I feel like it
I don't follow texting/dating 'rules' I do what I want

There are no rules but it's truism that people judge you on your behaviour.

3 texts in a row with no response verges on unreasonable stalker with too much time on their hands. Unless it's a running commentary on something important like the Eurovision Song Contest.

Eugh the joys of dating.... Chuck the 'rule' book out and do what makes you happy.

'That was a pleasant way to start the day. When you free for a rematch?'

ONLY PEOPLE WHO PLACE THE VOTE

MistressChalk · 25/10/2015 17:53

Oh OP please believe men can also spend hours gazing at their phones, single tear rolling quietly down face, thinking 'why won't she text me?'.

They can be just as insecure as us when it comes to sex so he could be sitting there worrying he isn't good enough or he could be an arse and isn't interested anymore. You won't know until you text him so put yourself (and possibly him) out of your misery and text him. We will all be here to cheer you up and tell you what a bastard he is if he doesn't text back.

Is Suffragette shit?

derxa · 25/10/2015 17:54

Don't text him and I have no idea what the whole thing is about. I'm old Sad

Jeffreythegiraffe · 25/10/2015 17:54

Text.

What's the score now?

MistressChalk · 25/10/2015 17:54

Sorry Brenda!

TEXT: 12 DONT TEXT: 3

Helmetbymidnight · 25/10/2015 17:54

The op hasn't been insulted enough lately either. Come on people.

BigOCupOfTea · 25/10/2015 17:54

Will I ruin it if I say the poll will not decide what I do?

DON'T TEXT!

Surely it will sort out what he thinks once and for all. If he's interested in carrying on a relationship, he'll text. I think it's down to him to do so. If you don't hear, you'll know and you won't get in deeper as opposed to you OP texting and him lamely replying something that means nothing. He needs to show some sort of intent call me old fashioned

Now off to check the swingometer.. Grin

hairbrushbedhair · 25/10/2015 17:55

I admit I may have texted by now but my advice would be don't text.

Don't complicate something prematurely

I don't think it's that worrying he hasn't yet as you've said you play out this relationship fairly evenly but I would use this to swing the balance to him persuing you tbh. I feel men value someone they feel they've had to work for more.

In an ideal world men would think the same way as women and we'd all understand each other but they just don't imho and I think men are happier doing the chasing

LineyReborn · 25/10/2015 17:56

The independent observer desk has received a bribe from the Moldavian People's Don't Text Faction.

Sallystyle · 25/10/2015 17:57

Seven people in this house voted text.

10 if you include the dogs. I asked them and I think they answered 'text'.

Helmetbymidnight · 25/10/2015 17:57

What are they offering?

MudCity · 25/10/2015 17:59

Agree totally with hairbrush above.

UterusUterusGhali · 25/10/2015 17:59

Op the vote is official. There's someone from the UN and everything. You're going to have to abide by it.

TEXT 13.

DONT TEXT 3

Just ask how his day was.

prettywhiteguitar · 25/10/2015 17:59

I would be pissed off there was no communication by now, txt or call

WhatamessIgotinto · 25/10/2015 17:59

I wouldn't text him today because you've seen him today so I wouldn't seen the need to text. I'd prob text or ring him tomorrow.

LineyReborn · 25/10/2015 17:59

The Moldavians are offering a pristine copy of a betamax video of Dynasty and a broken Amstrad. We are tempted.

Secondtimeround75 · 25/10/2015 17:59

Go Out with your friends & relax.

prettywhiteguitar · 25/10/2015 17:59

I certainly wouldn't be texting him
