It’s very rare that someone would only have sex once in one night.
You would at least have sex again in the morning.

To me it sounds as though he has some issues around sex, especially as you say he’s happily held your hand etc before.

I definitely would not meet up with him again, regardless of whether he used you for sex or has some other issues.

Blimey, we move in very different circles.

Gutted.

Trust how you feel. He should have at least been in contact at some point in the day.

Iocainepowder · 25/08/2025 08:22

Absolutely bin him. You’re not being paranoid. I had a guy not text me after we slept together and he was just giving me the silent treatment. It wasn’t a case of him eventually texting later.

BCBird · 25/08/2025 08:23

Try not to regret sleeping with him. U enjoyed the sex but not the inconsiderate behaviour afterwards. So what if he contacts yiu, this behaviour has put unoff. If he does contact you don't have to see him. You control this instead of him. You'll feel better for it.

Loloblue · 25/08/2025 08:24

He sounds horrible. Chalk it up to experience and move on. Sorry you've had to deal either this behaviour.

Lucelady · 25/08/2025 08:27

I wouldn't bother to contact him. I agree with the pp who said get back on the app. For all he knows you could have thought he was crap in bed! Chalk it up to exercise.
My late mother used to say if the don't think you're the best thing since sliced bread within two weeks, they're not for you.
I had a lot of boyfriends before I married and they had two weeks to prove their self. My husband is lovely and I had a diamond engagement ring in 8 weeks. I've been married nearly forty years.
Can you imagine this knob wiping your bum if you were ill? It doesn't sound like it.
My BFF joined a dating site for sex and it was hysterical. She is very saucy and chucks them in a taxi if they're crap. One even cried!
Respect you op. It will be fine.

HerLivingontheHill · 25/08/2025 08:27

He sounds awful.

I'd say he has 'intimacy issues' whereby he's all lovely during the chase and knows what to do, but it's all false.

Try not to blame yourself in any way.

CheeryOtter · 25/08/2025 08:28

I don't agree with how he reacted but as an awkward person myself, perhaps he just felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to act now the dynamic had shifted.

I assumed everyone has sex more than once a night in the beginning?!

Thats the best part of meeting someone new I thought.

Maybe I am wrong though 😯

atamlin · 25/08/2025 08:32

I’m sorry that happened to you. What an arsehole. Block him now and don’t give him the chance to get back in touch, he just wanted a shag and put on his “nice guy” mask.

ZenNudist · 25/08/2025 08:33

See if he contacts you again. Seems unlikely. Think he just wanted sex and is now done. If he does contact then definitely bin him off.

Oh, in the beginning? Gotcha.

It’s been a while since I had a beginning 😂

Or leave him on unread... He's unpleasant and you've at least saved yourself some time here. Imagine finding this out after months of dating.

hellohellooo · 25/08/2025 08:36

Move on

Gosh I wish I had done this with so many losers !!!!!

You deserve better
He sounds like a creep

Cardinalita90 · 25/08/2025 08:41

Urgh, men. You're right to cut him off. Don't bother explaining why if he reaches out again, just block - by his age he understands basic courtesy, he just chosen not to use it.

Uphold your own boundary on this.

Magnoliabuttons · 25/08/2025 08:42

Hi OP

I sense a little bit of shame in your post? Please let that go.

You did nothing wrong.

You met a guy who gave you every reason to think he was a great match.

You had some good sex - great!

Then he revealed more about his personality, and he falls way way below your standard. It’s disappointing but at least now you know.

You can step away without shame or icky feelings, and feel free to block him if you want to feel ‘tidy’ about it.

I slept with my DH on our second date and we’re still married 15 years later…

Don’t feel used - I’m glad you enjoyed the sex at least, and can continue being open to finding a better guy next time x

OhNoNotSusan · 25/08/2025 08:43

that sounds horrible op, he is clueless

diddl · 25/08/2025 08:44

I would have expected him not to set the alarm for 7 tbh.

I agree with a pp that sex again in the morning is usual.

Sounds as if it was more of a ONS for him.

Shessweetbutapsycho · 25/08/2025 08:46

KookySnail · 25/08/2025 01:23

posted far too soon.

Im considering calling things off when/if he decides to get in touch again for how he acted towards me after we first slept together. But im unsure if im jumping the gun, so to speak.

Met a guy 3 weeks ago. Had two very good dates. He was a gentleman. Very kind towards me. Late last week I went on holiday for my friends birthday, he remained in contact via text regularly. Told me he can’t wait for our 3rd date once I’m home. My flight back was on Friday, and our 3rd date was last night. I came to his side of the city we live in and we went out for cocktails and to watch a band play. Afterwards we went back to his which was around the corner from the venue. Everything felt right and we slept together for the first time (first time I’d had sex in over 6 months). It was very good, passionate… we both enjoyed it. Everything I thought it would be.

The second it was over and he’d ‘finished’ he exclaimed how good it was, then turned his back to me, grabbed his phone and set his alarm for 7am (on a Sunday morning). He had plans with his friend in the afternoon but wanted to go to the gym beforehand early in the morning. He said “You can stay if you want but just so you know I’ll be up at 7am” he said this while his back to be. Then went straight to sleep, not facing me. I stayed on the other side of the bed and eventually fell asleep myself, I felt awkward being there. I would have expected a hug at least afterwards, but put it down to him being tired I guess.

Alarm went off at 7am, we both woke up. I said good morning, he replied in kind. Again no touching or looking over at me, he jumped straight out of bed. We got to sleep at 2am so I’m pretty tired, but I get up out of bed myself and go to his bathroom. By the time I get out he’s looking through his wardrobe deciding what he wants to wear for the day. I sit on his bed and book my Uber, I attempt to make small talk, and ask more about his plans for the day with his friend. Again doesn’t look at me which replying. At this point I felt like I’d served my purpose the night before and was no longer nessessary.

my uber arrives, he walks me to his door, the uber driver has parked at the end of his street due to road works that had taken place over the week. He says bye to me as I walk down the road.

Ive not heard from him at all. No “did you get home okay?” Or “I had a good night” text. Nothing.

My friend is convinced he’ll eventually text and he was just busy today, but being busy has never stopped him before. And to be honest I’m a put out by how distant he was after we had sex for the first time. He knows I don’t have casual sex and hadn’t slept with anyone for over 6 months, I felt like his behaviour was inconsiderate and I feel quite used. If he does decide to reach out to me again I don’t think I’ll want to continue as this has made me view him in a different light.

my friend thinks I’m overreacting. Am I?

This is a classic case of ‘if he really wanted to, he would.’ How long does it honestly take someone to pick up their phone and send a text? Don’t let your friend convince you this behaviour is acceptable, it’s not.

tripleginandtonic · 25/08/2025 08:49

Maybe the sex wasn't as good for him as it was for you. Time to move on to the next date OP. The right man is out there somewhere.

BunnyLake · 25/08/2025 08:57

KookySnail · 25/08/2025 01:47

Thank you for all the responses so far.

No, he didn’t word it as “can’t wait for the 3rd date” specifically. I guess I wrote it that way for context and to make the timeline clearer for the readers. He said “I’m looking forward to seeing you when you’re back” but you’re properly right in thinking he knew I’d “put out” on the 3rd date.

I just feel very used considered he’d held my hand for a lot of the night, had his arm around me while watching the band. Then the second he was “satisfied” it all switched very suddenly and I had no eye contact since.

I agree with a pp. Text him saying something along the lines of it not working for you, wish him the best, and keep it brief! That way you’ve dumped him without ambiguity, it’ll dent his ego, if only briefly and you, not him, are calling the shots.

Onthebusses · 25/08/2025 09:04

Think about what you're asking. Should you break it off now that you've seen what he's like in the beginning?

Or should you see him further, possibly catch feelings (because none of us are above catching feelings for ab absolute jerk), and make it more difficult for yourself to break up with him, causing yourself possibly years of heartache, confusion, and self-inflicted turmoil?

Sparkletastic · 25/08/2025 09:06

He was probably looking for sex rather than a girlfriend and he put just enough effort into the dates to get the required outcome.

Lex345 · 25/08/2025 09:08

I feel for you OP, it did aound like he went pretty cold afterwards.

I get why people want to wait to have sex, but if you want to have sex with someone, I wouldn't try and stick to a certain number of dates-just do it when you want to and are ready-, no date, first date, whatever. Arseholes will still be arseholes after 1, 3 or 100 dates.

You find out pretty quickly if you sexually compatible, how they behave after and if earlier on, with less emotional attachment to it. I've been married 20 years, so not saying this from a place of serial one night stands either; and obviously only if you want to have sex.

The not texting wouldnt be a big deal for me, but the coldness would be.

You can and will do better :)
