For blocking him ?

CleverOpalPanda · 22/07/2024 12:43

Guy I am talking for 2 months and went on 2 dates left me on read last nite.
He talked to me first and after I replied he would just send dry responses and he does that frequently so I give cold responses as well but I ask him things to get convo going, he doesn't.
Last nite I asked him if he is busy and he said no just relaxing so then I told him I am sitting around being confused and that he should call me if he can as I want to speak to him.
He saw that text last night and hasnt replied yet .
He is at work now but many times he texts early in morning so I got so upset I blocked him on whatapp.
Am I being unreasonable for blocking him ?it's not been 24 hrs yet.
I don't like that I did it but I feel I am getting played, he talks first and then he responds not in a very productive way.
Only 3 days ago we were being overly flirty and now cold again.

Small clarification:first month we were travelling ,we couldn't meet.
Last date was 3 weeks ago and he texts everyday but I am still confused.

Kindly, this isn’t going anywhere. Just keep him blocked or delete everything including his number.

@TwattyMcFuckFace
I didn't tell him cause I wanted him to call so I could explain ,I am confused by his level of Interest and I think he knows what I mean.
He texts me but then gives dry responses that I cant reply to ,why is he talking to me if he is not Interested to keep convo going .

Anyone remotely interested would have at least asked why I am confused and why I wanna speak

Yeah, he's definitely not interested.

Not sure why you think you might be unreasonable to block him?

It's not like you even have a relationship to speak of, so just cut him loose.

Gmary22 · 22/07/2024 15:29

He's just not that into you, find someone else and don't let him mess you around. If he wanted to be with you, it would be easy, your wouldn't be second guessing yourself and you would have seen him more than 2 times in 2 months!

TeaGinandFags · 22/07/2024 15:37

Forget him and go forward with your life.

He's probs simply playing when bored.

Babbahabba · 22/07/2024 15:41

He hasn't bothered to arrange a date weeks later, despite you asking him to. That tells you all you need to know.

gamerchick · 22/07/2024 15:42

2 dates in 2 months is a none starter imo. It's fizzled out.

Did you try call him?

veganmayo · 22/07/2024 15:53

It actually sounds more like you're the one playing games, expecting him to read your mind, asking him to call you because you're 'confused'. There's no way I'd be immediately responding to the demands of someone I had been on two dates with and not slept with, either. But regardless of that, you obviously aren't compatible and he's not the right kind of person you're looking for.

@ToofHurty
I am really into him I asked him out 2 weeks ago but he had other plans,he didn't ask for another day so out of fear of sounding like I am chasing I haven't asked again.
It's up to him to ask now

Well he’s not going to do that when blocked🤔 If at all tbh….
Leave him blocked and move on. He clearly isn’t interested

CleverOpalPanda · 22/07/2024 15:56

No ,I don't want to seem like I am pestering him.
Done that in past relationships they lose respect for you.
If he wanted to talk he would call or say respectfully I will call you tomorrow.
Many things were said on that second date.
He said he wants a relationship, I am special and he swore on his daughters he is not talking to other women.
Few days ago we were flirting and he hinted we Will meet soon but no plans made yet.

It was not a demand ,I asked to call if he can ,I want to speak to him not need to speak to him

Ponoka7 · 22/07/2024 16:11

Don't get into text conversation, wait until you can speak to him. Are you a similar age? Is he honestly busy? I think that he could be testing your boundaries, as in seeing how little you will accept. Decide on what you want and don't settle.

Starlight1979 · 22/07/2024 16:15

OP - there is another thread on here currently asking people in long term relationships how they knew they had found "the one" / the person they wanted to be with forever. You should read it. Not one post says there was a ridiculous amount of game playing / blocking each other etc. If a relationship is meant to be it is easy from the start.

Move on with your life.

@BigPussyEnergy
I wonder if he is doing it on purpose to see if I will go crazy on him,that would be worse than not being interested,he is in his 40s

No. He isn't. He's doing it because he is done you. Leave him be he is just not that into you. And never think of him again. Job done.

CleverOpalPanda · 22/07/2024 16:18

@Ponoka7
This weekend he was busy, but not last night he said so himself, weekend before this was with his daughters.
I think he is testing me as well as we had a convo once where he said he doesn't like possessiveness.

Op you are too invested 2 dates in to be raging to the point you've made a post and blocked him. Him not saying I can't do that day but how about this and him leaving you on read suggests a lack of interest it's tough and it hurts but tbh I'd not unblock him etc as he'll think you are nuts don't give him that satisfaction!

EBearhug · 22/07/2024 16:23

If he said he was just sitting around, you could have called him.

A guy rang me last night. I didn't answer, because I was already in bed asleep. He messaged me. I responded this morning, he messaged back, then I started work.

It's shouldn't be very complicated.

tuvamoodyson · 22/07/2024 16:25

To be honest, I’m not a bit confused by his level of interest, and I don’t even know him…🤷‍♀️ he’s not interested. Just move along…

Idontjetwashthefucker · 22/07/2024 16:47

Honestly OP you're coming across as a little obsessed which makes me think you've posted before....

@JLou08
I don't see what is intense about my message ,I simply told him to call me if he can cause I want to speak to him.
I didn't order him to do so and I said I want not need.
I wanted to express my self via a phone call not messages and I wasnt even going to be nasty about it or anything just be polite.
Would it be hard to text me ,I had a long day I will speak to you tomorrow?

Should does sound a bit like a demand, you blocked him when he didn't call so that seems like you were expecting it. You saying you are just sat there confused sounds intense itself when it's such early days. He has said that he doesn't like possessiveness, maybe that was a hint that he is picking up that vibe from you.
This isn't to say you are in the wrong, maybe the two of you just aren't compatible rather than one being wrong/playing games.

CleverOpalPanda · 22/07/2024 16:52

@JLou08
It's is because I am confused and this is the first time I have expressed it to him.
I have played it cool everytime he texts back after hours or is inconsistent with communication.
If the fist inconvenience makes him this upset then he lied when he said he is ready for a relationship.

Yes saying confused is like I've been sat here wondering 🤔 thinking when your 2 dates in and before an intimate relationship I'd be irritated by that

"This upset" ? How do you know how upset he is? You blocked him less than 24 hours after your message
