Two dates, constant texting, suddenly stopped!

[stopmeddling]

What now. I really like him. We have seen each twice it was great, good laugh, great chemistry.

Background, we were introduced by a mutual friend who I personally have know for years, therefore he "knows a lot about me", when I was younger my life was somewhat "colourful". Anyway bloke I have been seeing texted me to say he was meeting up with mutual friend. Since that meeting I have heard nothing. Mutual friend is a meddler, famed for it and I am bit worried about what may have been said.

So what to do now? I texted last, just a chatty, how is your day text, yesterday morning and have heard nothing back, where we were texting loads daily before that.

Need to just leave it now don't I? Another friend says that if mutual friend HAS been meddling there is nothing I can do and if texting bloke listens to meddling then I am well out of it. What do you think? Think shes right but feel a bit crap anyway.

I am a name changer but this is embarassing so changed for it.

I've learnt the hard way that no good can come of anything based purely on texts.

Phone him.

I'd assume the meddler is interested in meddling with you and has tried to shoo the other guy off

I would leave it. You texted him a friendly text yesterday, he hasn't replied yet. You don't know why but the worst thing to do would be start to text more, making yourself look a bit desperate. Do you want him to know you are so keen on him you actually wrote about him on a website?

As for 'what happened', who knows? Perhaps his ex is on the scene, perhaps he's dating a few people at once, perhaps he wants to take time to consider what to do, perhaps he's busy at work, perhaps, perhaps. You can't know and it's really too early in dating to start phoning him with 'so, what's going on?' type messages. It's also only been a day without contact how did we manage when people had to walk to a telephone box at the end of the road once a week

If he likes you and wants a relationship, he will reply to your text. If he doesn't, and doesn't contact you through Facebook/mutual friend, then you have your answer.

the meddling friend fancies you I'd guess

give new guy say a week to contact you and if he doesn't then consider him to have fallen at the first hurdle = not good enough for you

Bear in mind that if the new man has gone off you because you have had some sex in the past, he is not worth knowing. And nor is Meddler, who clearly has a messed up attitude towards women if he thinks that having sex is something to be ashamed of.

FGS... 2 dates... wait a week..a week sounds about right IMO ...but in the meantime please get out..date someone else..lots of other someone elses....and if you choose he may get date 3.
