To think this is rude of him

Hi all

I am seeing somebody and I am due to see him on Saturday. I whatsapped him to confirm plans and he has read my message earlier tonight and not responded but he is online. I’m feeling anxious now

He’s just responded to say Saturday is fine and sorry for not replying. He said that he was on the phone to his son (who’s in his teens).

I feel silly now. I let my anxiety get the best of me all the time.

Live and learn OP - it was all perfectly innocent and reasonable, remember this next time.
But does he get that you need to book childcare so maybe need to confirm dates an agreed amount of time ahead?
Enjoy your date!

@Brandyb thank you. Yes he’s aware of this! Just glad it’s sorted so I can relax. I do need to get my anxiety under control as I don’t want to push him away

Glad to see it all worked out okay. Just take some deep breaths next time.

Technology can be awful sometimes and make you so paranoid about every single thing. Next time, just put your phone down, and don't pick it up unless a notification pops up.

I don’t really have any reason to think it @ilovesooty. He has told me before not to overthink things and that I don’t need to worry but I can’t help it.

Im just worried because he has gone offline without responding which has made me think he doesn’t want to see me but isn’t communicating that to me

I understand where you are coming from I feel this all the time with my boyfriend. I have a feeling he is hiding something from me and I am just being naive. How do you usually deal with this situation?

Are you on anything for your anxiety? I take propranolol and find it really helpful. It's worth seeing your GP for some therapy and meds.
