to expect a text after we slept together?

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?

VOTE DIXIE

I'd just wait till the morning then text as normal. Hes maybe thinking the same as you are. Or he may think he just left you this morning so will wait till tomoro so he doesnt seem needy. Or he may of got what he wanted and not be interested anymore which you will find out tomoro when you text.

I really find this kind of thing a tad pathetic tbh. If you're not willing to text him, you lose your right to be pissed at him not texting you. Text or don't text, but don't make this a male vs female thing because I think we all know that's old and tired.

BrendaandEddie · 25/10/2015 17:05

you need to vote

Text 4 don't text 2

And in future, whoever he is, make him buy dinner until you've slept with him!! Smile

Helmetbymidnight · 25/10/2015 17:06

I think it's important that before voters vote they insult the op.

I'm spoiling my paper Brenda.

GabiSolis · 25/10/2015 17:06

I vote to text in that case.

BrendaandEddie · 25/10/2015 17:07

LOLOL at Helmet

Has anyone seen a dog outside this polling booth?

BrendaandEddie · 25/10/2015 17:07

gabi - add your vote on and repost

Sallystyle · 25/10/2015 17:08

Just text him.

I don't play games. If I wanted to text my dh while we were dating I would text him. If he was the type of man to be put off by me texting him after we had sex for the first time then he wouldn't have been the man for me anyway.

He is probably feeling the same way as you and you are both being silly. It's just a text. If he doesn't respond then you will know when you stand and won't have wasted hours worrying on an arsehole.

I don't get this at all. It's just a text. Nothing deeper than that.

Sallystyle · 25/10/2015 17:09

over an arsehole*

'Needy and unsexy' ? Confused

Text (5) Don't Text (2)

My opinion: whether you text or not will have no bearing on the eventual outcome. I'll stick my neck out and say I don't think it's a good sign that he hasn't been in touch today. I'd send an irreverent text and if he's blase or wishy-washy about what happened and making future plans, bin him off immediately. Also in the meantime have a good think about whether or not you actually like him enough to want it to continue and don't make this all about whether or not he's rejecting you in your head.

Your username made me laugh.

As a big fan of that show, there actually was an episode where Gabi was pissed off that Victor hadn't rang her after they'd had sex for the first time.

I understand why you are a bit on edge OP, you've been burnt before and you want some sign that this man isn't going to go distant and have lost interest like the last.

I also get that you want him to text to prove things are different this time.

You are testing him in a way to see if he is different from the man before.

As you can see from this thread, people have different opinions.

He may be not wanting to be too eager.

He may be busy and not had time.

He may have had a lovely night, day and not felt the need to text just yet.

He will likely text/call tonight or tomorrow.
