I’m in the early dating phase with a fella I met in Oct. Everything’s been lovely and boringly uneventful so far.
We both had Thursday and Friday off work so we went out Thursday and it turned into a 2 day date, which seemed grand. We had a chat about exclusivity and a really great couple of days.
Friday eve I had a friend’s leaving party so he and I parted ways. While I was the way there, he text me to say how much he’d enjoyed our time and was so happy to have met me.
Later in the evening, I asked him if he’d like to join the party, as the friend said he was welcome (i had mentioned it earlier but he said he had stuff with his friends, which he later told me had been cancelled).
He said yes to coming to the leaving thing, but that he couldn’t join till 11pm, so to enjoy the party till then and he’d call me.
11pm came and went and he didn’t text (he had text around 10). I tried calling and no answer.
He did text today to say hi, but as yet I’ve not replied.
AIBU to think this is rude and something is amiss?
What do I say?
