In the grand scheme of things this is really a tiny problem, bit embarassed to post it but I don't really have anywhere else to go for advice! I've been seeing this chap for about three weeks now, we've seen each other five or six times since initially hooking up but I've known him for a while before anything happened (he's a semi regular customer where I work). Things have immediately skipped past the 'dating' stage and into the 'coming round his house and cuddling up to watch a film' stage. We always text each other throughout the day, usually initiated by him, and so things have seemed quite full on and not very casual as it were. All in it all its seems to have been going pretty well, and I've basically fallen for this bloke a little, however I've never been able to just relax and enjoy it because i'm basically waiting to be dumped. I've been out with a succession of blokes this year who have all seemed really keen and lovely who then have just disappeared or dumped me out of the blue. I think i'm waiting for the same to happen here.
He went away on holiday for two weeks on Wednesday. Wednesday morning we were texting away as usual, then about midday he stopped replying. Ok, thinks I, he's at work and has got to rush from there to the airport tonight etc, I'll probably hear from him before he flies, no worries. Nothing all night :/ The next day I sent him a nice message saying the I hoped he'd landed safe etc, was it best to contact him via facebook as I wasn't sure if texting would cost an arm and a leg. Two days later and I've had no response :( No problem, I think to myself, he's travelling and I'll probably hear from him when he gets to his final destination.
Last night he was posting a lot on facebook that they'd finally reached their destination etc, putting up pictures of what he was doing. Still heard nothing from him :( Am I right to feel hurt that he hasn't found time just to drop me a quick message at all over the past two days? I hate it when you text people and they ignore you yet are perfectly capable of posting online. I find it quite rude, and I'm really disappointed that he hasn't found time to message me. Am I overreacting in feeling rubbish about this? It feels like up until now he's kind of been treating me like a girlfriend...and now he's just vanished. I've got that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Do I take it that things were maybe not as serious as I thought?
