Is he keen or not?

[Anon111999]

Bumped into someone I have not seen for nearly 2 years, always a lot of chemistry there and when we bumped into each other again it was still there and he went to a lot of trouble to find out if I was single and made it clear he was to.

So after I saw him Monday I just texted that evening to say "good to see you today" did get a reply so just left it.

Tuesday I bumped into him again (same place/time) and we had a coffee and he joked about getting a text from a strange number the night before. So as I was leaving he called over and asked me to text me his number (thought a little strange as I messaged him the day before, but hey maybe deleated by mistake, so again when I got home yesterday arvo I texted him again "here's my number" and again not heard a thing!

Am I just being impatient or does this seem strange like he is not as keen as he acts when I'm with him.

It seems strange...I don't think it's very polite to firstly joke about getting your text and then to ignore the next one.

Had you exchanged numbers at the first meeting?

It's possible he's not really a texter. (Hard to believe in this day and age, but there are folks out there who don't do much texting, I'm told.) In which case he could genuinely have not realised that the text was from you, or if he did he didn't realise he could use that message to create a contact for you in his phone. If this was so, he's probably unlikely to text you until he has something to say!

Or he's just not as interested as he appears when you're face to face ...

Move on ....sounds like sill behaviour from him

Silly ...I mean ...and you don't need a silly immature man

Well, I wouldn't write it off, it's only wednesday. If you don't hear from him in a week, then you probably won't hear from him at all. He has your number, I'd leave it for him to get in contact and not fret. Either he will or he won't. I don't think he's done anything particularly odd. Give it a few days, but don't spend all your time checking your phone, get on with things.

No we didn't exchange numbers on first day, I still had his number from years ago and just texted the good to see you text! It was the next day when he joked about the text from the strange number that he called after me as I left and asked me to text him my number, which I thought was strange as I had already texted him but guess he could of deleted it.

Know it's only been 24 hours since he asked for it but just would if thought after 2 texts I would at least get a acknowledgement

Chances are I will prob bump into again this week (working near me for a while) and I'm not sure how to play it when I see him if he hasn't texted especially if he is still acting keen like he has been when u see him

Play it by ear. Go for coffee if you bump into him and you want to. But don't text him again. Next contact is definitely his now.

Taken your time. If he contacts you good but don't wait around for the text!

Perhaps when he saw you on the Tuesday he felt awkward about not having replied to your last text message, so made up the thing about the 'strange number' as an excuse. It seems a very odd thing to bring up and joke about otherwise.

I always take forever to text people back because 1) I put everything off until later plus 2) I have my phone switched off a lot of the time. And I'm quite shy, so I can spend ages trying to write a good enough reply to someone I have a crush on.

he went to a lot of trouble to find out if I was single and made it clear he was too

He hadn't seen you for some 2 years but went to all of this trouble and didn't bother to ask for your mobile no/email address, or even ask whether it was the same as when he last texted you?

He's taken How very odd.

goddessofsmallthings may be right but wait and see...

If there is nothing in the next few days I would mentally move on...
