To wonder where the hell he is?

Been seeing someone for a couple of months, at least twice a week but it’s been nearly every day over the past couple of weeks. He has been really into me, cooked for me, taken me away numerous times and said the l word very early on.

We had plans to go to his friends birthday tonight, spoke to him earlier and everything was fine. Text later to let him know what time I would be over, not read and no reply, we are now 2 and a half hours after we were supposed to meet and I haven’t heard from him since 3.30pm. No messages read, no answer to my calls. Getting a bit concerned, where could he be?!

I prefer spill the tea actually! 😂

@CannaeBeErsed great story that glad he did as look at where you are now.

I keep finding these tools. Most recent was 2 weeks ago, about to move house, DS etc ...

I'm on such a downer I'll never find a decent one

Wondering if there's any mental health issues involved. Once had a boyfriend years ago who blew very hot and cold, kept disappearing and changing his number so I couldn't get hold of him, then would turn up at my door wanting to see me. He blamed it on a traumatic childhood and flashbacks. Not sure how much was true ( he was caught out lying about other stuff) or if he did have problems connecting to people. Hope he is ok though OP and there is a reasonable explanation.

I've found it greatly improves one's general outlook on life to assume the best of people until proven otherwise.

So let's hope there's an innocent (but not life-threatening) explanation. I like the "loft ladder fell down" suggestion from pp.

BinG0wings123 · 15/04/2018 13:15

Chrys2017 I’m the exact opposite. I’ve learned always to expect the worst, leads to less disappointment.

MagicJay · 15/04/2018 13:17

Hope he's ok, OP.

LimonViola · 15/04/2018 13:18

It's been a while now if you haven't located him :S

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 15/04/2018 13:20

If this is ghosting it's a bit extreme. Hopefully he's fine op.

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 15/04/2018 13:22

mummy psycho spill the tea = tell us the gossip.

OP, the most likely scenario is that he isn't interested. I know that that sucks, but it's the reality.

Fell out of a loft? Had a sudden heart attack? I mean, yes, those things do happen, but they happen in one case in 100, the other 99 being he's actually just a player.

SundayGirls · 15/04/2018 13:35

Gerard he didn’t disappear, I eventually finished with him for being too unambitious & crap with money - but he was a lovely guy. My point wasnt disappearing guys, it was in response to a different point by another poster.

BigbreastsBiggerbeard · 15/04/2018 13:37

Definitely aliens.

TheJoyOfSox · 15/04/2018 13:43

I do hope op lets us know the outcome. Now I’m starting to think she has been abducted by the same aliens 👽

Tistheseason17 · 15/04/2018 13:45

No sign of OP?
Do we need to report her missing to the police? (TIC obv)
Have the aliens taken her as well as her BF? Shock

Nanna50 · 15/04/2018 13:48

Do you think the OP has ghosted us? Hope its nothing serious.

SparklyMagpie · 15/04/2018 13:53

Definitely aliens

Feckers2018 · 15/04/2018 13:53

Gawd. What are all these ridiculous comments about. Awful.

GodYouMakeMeCringe · 15/04/2018 13:55

Ghosted.

Backtoblack1 · 15/04/2018 14:06

What’s the parrot reference about?

nyebevanshair · 15/04/2018 14:14

Any news?

DragonMummy1418 · 15/04/2018 14:17

Tbh if it's true then I'd be too anxious and worried to post here!
Hope everything is ok @TheHeightSupremacist

QueenieS · 15/04/2018 14:18

Some of you are just wankers Wink

I was the same for most of my life, but after certain events my outlook changed and I've been much happier for it. If that makes me a mug on selected occasions, so be it—I don't really care.
I also discover that in most cases people will give you what you expect, so if you expect the worst of them that is what you will get.

Wonder if he has returned and they have run off into the sunset together!

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 15/04/2018 14:24

I'm with Chrys2017 for what it's worth. It does avoid disappointment to do the opposite; but it has a huge effect on your outlook on life, too.

I'd rather handle the disappointment when people do let me down; but also get the positive outlook and have a natural belief in people.

I hope there's a good explanation, OP.
