To be annoyed he hasn’t wished me happy new year

I’ve been seeing a man for about 6 months and the last time I saw him was two days before Christmas. I haven’t spoken to him much since then apart from him wishing me a merry Christmas and saying he hopes I have a nice day. I told him the same but he hasn’t contacted me since then. He hasn’t been in touch to wish me a happy new year.

I haven’t messaged him either but it seemed that it was just me putting in the effort. He started to text and ask to see me more and was putting in more effort with me but it’s stopped again. Aibu to be annoyed that he hasn’t wished me happy new year or been in touch?

He's probably still hungover.
There's plenty of time for him to wish you a happy new year.

It may be that he is thinking the same and feels you may be losing interest?
Maybe just have a good chat and be open with each other about how you feel.

It's so easy to second guess/ jump to conclusions, but hopefully being open and honest with each other will help clear the air.

What was he doing for new year?
He could well still be asleep.

And if you haven't messaged him either then not seeing any difference in your position to him

After 6 months if you are wanting a relationship I would move on from this one. No contact for over a week?

Outtasteamandluck · 01/01/2023 12:06

I think this one may have run it's course.

But maybe he was waiting for you text him too.

JoyPeaceSleep · 01/01/2023 12:08

it may be a series of dates more than a relationship. If I felt connected to somebody I'd be texting numerous times a day (but also respectful of their schedule). I think not to have heard from somebody for three days shows it's just a series of dates. Maybe they're good dates, but still.

Could he have a partner?

Mmmy · 01/01/2023 12:10

I’ve seen him lots of times since around June time he’s been to mine, I’ve stayed over at his and he comes to mine but I’ve just no idea where I stand at the moment

This is not a relationship.

Forget him.

Merryoldgoat · 01/01/2023 12:51

I can’t imagine not spending time with someone over Christmas if I’d been seeing them six months.

LlynTegid · 01/01/2023 12:52

I'd be suspicious there is someone else or that you are the other woman.

butterfliedtwo · 01/01/2023 12:57

Nope. This is not a relationship. Time to move on.

Mmmy · 01/01/2023 13:40

Thank you. I feel very silly right now

Feel like I’ve wasted my time

Bin him, he's dating someone else.

GreenManalishi · 01/01/2023 18:32

Don't feel silly, it happens. Unless the first man you ever date ends up being your partner for life, this is just part of it. One of you goes off the other and it ends. If you had some fun then it's not been a waste of your time, however spending too much time analysing it now definitely would be.

I think generally if you feel that a man is going "off the boil" they've gone off the boil. If a man is fully interested in a relationship with you, and available they will make you very aware of the fact, you won't be left wondering.

Happy new year, I hope it brings you fun and love!
