He always replies a day later

been chatting to a guy on WhatsApp for 3 weeks now, we’ve not meet in person yet. This thing he always replies a day later even if I reply straight away to keep the conversation going and some fun questions. He will always respond the next day (usually with good engaging message) as if it’s a rule. Personally I feel it will drag the process of knowing each other

Maybe he doesn't want to get himself too invested before he's met you, he must be somewhat interested to suggest a phone call, perhaps see how it goes and then decide if he sounds nice.

Why bother

you haven’t met him he isn’t showing much interest and you are already waiting around

move on

Have to agree with a PP about him possibly drinking which spurred him on to initiate a call and meet up. I don't think he's much into you, really - how long does it take to compose and send a text? - but I'm intrigued to see how he reacts today or whenever you reply back with your answer.

Out of curiosity I’d go through with the phone chat and call him out on the delayed/late night messages. See what he has to say?

CacenCaws · 26/11/2023 12:21

Don't bother replying or reply with one message in 2 days time

Bigbirthdaycomingup · 26/11/2023 12:29

Answer in two days. Suggest a meeting. If he answers within the hour then go ahead and see what he's like in person. If not, delete and move on.

I replied yesterday to him saying yes he can call me today, he hasn’t replied nor a phone call. I’m having a feeling he is fake.

Should I just call him. I’m now curious just want to know what’s has happened to me? And if he is real but I’m not interested take this any further

Don't call, just block him.

Trust yourself OP. He’s managed to put you off him by his own lack of actions.

Sounds like he’s playing some sort of treat em mean, keep em keen game.

1975wasthebest · 27/11/2023 21:27

He’s dumped you, and I don’t know what can be achieved with the very remote chance he’ll take your call. It’s not like he’s going to admit he was lying about everything.

AmyJahabee · 27/11/2023 21:44

I have delete and blocked him. Is like using me to feel good about himself that someone like him. I don’t get it. But it’s a lesson I will use to improve my dating filtering. Thank you everyone
