Can anyone fathom this guy out??

[Icandoanything]

Last week I had a one night stand I met with someone in a bar. Was fantastic and the next day,before we leaving he expressed an interest in seeing me again,which I was a little hesitant about for various reasons. However,later that day,o thought some more,and on the advice of my friends,text him saying I enjoyed spending time with him and let me know if he felt like going for a drink. This was on Sunday,and he didn't reply. So I let it go and put it down to just a damn good one off night.

Then,on Friday morning I got a text saying that my friends advised me well and that he'd like to see me again,even just for a drink,but would like a bit more. I left it a few hours and replied that I'd be up for that.

Now,nothing again and no reply,nothing. I'm just a tad confused. If he didn't want to meet again or pursue anything,why text back in the first place? I've had a bit of experience and know some guys say they'd like to see you again the morning after,but then don't contact you. But this guy bothered to reply, albeit 5 days late! His actions say not bothered, but why the text? Again,could understand if it was a Friday evening booty text,but Friday morning at 8.15- eh?!

I'm pretty sure he's playing a game but what?

Sorry,post title should be Can anyone fathom this guy? English teacher so stickler for correct sentences!

Hiya, it sounds to me as tho he was setting you up to be his Friday night but then found a better plan. I'd not text again and think twice about any texts I do receive from him... Good luck!

You might be in an "on call" position with for him as a back up plan if he can not find anyone else to service him .
Don't get emotionally invested for a long while...(General rule for everyone really).

he sounds as if he is attached or just after the obvious

So he's texted you back after five days and basically said he'll meet you but expects sex will be in the offing too?
Which you agreed to but he hasn't bothered to take you up on it so far?
Hmm...you're on a hiding to nothing here I think. Call it a hunch.
Actions do speak louder than words.

I hadn't even thought about him setting me up for Friday night in the morning but yes,I reckon that could be what it was. Damn,I'd never think that far ahead for a booty call,mine were always at night!

And yes,obviously I will be leaving it here now!

To be honest, the meeting for a shag thing didn't bother me,as I definitely don't want a relationship and it would have serves my needs as well. I was more confused about why he bothered to suggest it, then go quiet again. But think I understand now!

He isn't interested in anything other than sex. If he had really wanted to see you again after your one night stand then he would have tried harder. You texting him to try and arrange a date made him think you are chasing him. So he isn't interested. Not game playing just the way some blokes behave when women chase them, ( even if it's just the one text). If he really wanted to date you, he would be with you.

If you are looking for a serious b/f then this guy is not the one for you. If he had serious intentions he would have contacted you before now without doubt.

That said, my feeling is that he will text you in the next few days and suggest you meet up for a shag. If you are happy with that then go for it. As long as you don't have any false illusions about where the relationship is going then why not?
