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?

If anyone told her she was insecure I certainly didn't.

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 22:05

On the dating scene, if I have to ask, I Already know the answer. I wouldnt have to ask. It would flow. The OP wasnt so sure and I supported her.

Some people have become waaaaay too invested in this.

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 22:06

I didnt make a fool of her.

I don't think I've ever seen so much fuss over something so trivial.

A man and a woman shag.

Woman wants text contact with man but refuses to initiate it.

Man texts woman after he's finished work.

And five hundred posts later, we're all still here talking about it Grin

Fuck this. I'm off to open the wine.

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 22:10

some people have mocked the op and hence i wouldnt blame her for not coming back.

Im not invested as such, I dont invest in online. I do however get frustrated when people become nasty about a question.

ilovesooty · 25/10/2015 22:11

I'm beginning to suspect that I offended pinot on a thread in the past quite frankly.

Then stop thinking Dixie, it's bloody bad for you Grin Wine

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 22:14

Man usually texts woman during work

this stops after shag

the pattern changes

woman wonders why

woman thinks is this normal

woman thinks is she being needy

woman asks mumsnet

woman gets lots of negative feedback

woman doesnt want to post any more

Not many though, there were loads of supporters here
I was totally with her till she left us hanging....
For her to finally get a text and not share it with so many ladies (including you) who made an effort to help her, is a bit thoughtless and odd!

Where are you OP? I'm invested here, I want to know what he said...

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 22:21

I dont really need a conclusion, why would you?

People ask things, you say whatever.

No one in real life has ever come back and told me an outcome so im not sure online should be any different.

Gabilan · 25/10/2015 22:26

"It's the man's place to text because in male culture sex is a conquest. The OP has "given it up'" because she liked him. The very LEAST he can do is text her."

I've thought of various long-winded answers to this. I'll give you the edited highlights: bollocks it is.

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 22:55

It is bollox gabilan.

It is the same whether there are bollox involved or not.

Diamondsmiles · 25/10/2015 23:17

Umph I just rtft and can't believe we still don't know what's in the text!

AnotherTimeMaybe · 25/10/2015 23:29

But it's not that she didn't come back, it's the fact that she wrote half the update... She bothered to say he texted her but not what about
Anyway her life her texts , hope she got something put of this thread at least

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 23:40

i have no idea why people need that? its on line, you take from it what you will. I advised her not to post back due to the horrible things people said.

The op was only asking what to do... instead she got 20 pages of anger.

very worrying.

pinotblush · 25/10/2015 23:41

why do you care? whos the investor?

trashcanjunkie · 25/10/2015 23:59

I don't mind that she didn't come back.... She might come tomorrow

The test scarlet is to see if he is emotionally tunes in to me. Not texting shows he isn't. I don't see that as a skill that can be learned, so after five weeks I'd give it up. That said, in my younger days I put up with immense emotional fuckwittery and abuse. I'm very lucky to have learned from bad experiences, and spent a long time single. So I appreciate how hard it can be.

I'm glad he texted her. I hope they have a happy ending.

trashcanjunkie · 25/10/2015 23:59

Tuned, not tunes

ScarletRuby2 · 26/10/2015 00:04

I came back to see what had happened....and what happened was things got a bit weird.
