Tell me if this a red flag?

I met a lovely man at a mutual friends birthday a couple of weeks ago. We exchanged numbers.

He then proceeded to text me every day for 6 days, and we met up on the 7th day. He text me after the date to say he'd had a great time. The following day he contacted me and asked if I wanted to go out again (this Sunday lunchtime). I said yes.

The next day he text me again, (last Sunday), and we had a nice chat. But I've not heard from him since. Is this a red flag? I don't get why he would take the initiative to speak to me so much then after the date, tell me he had a great time and arrange another one, but then not speak to me at all?! Does this even mean this Sunday lunch date is on? Why contact me so much then suddenly stop?

Maybe it's a red flag?

I hate it lady.

I really like him as well and now I just think he wasn't sincere at all from the start

Give the poor bloke a chance to reply!!

Surepillow · 12/11/2015 21:37

He would usually reply by now.

I really did think he was being sincere... My judgement of men must be way off!

Might be out with mates, might be at the cinema, asleep, in the shower, could be any reason why he hasn't replied!!!

Surepillow · 12/11/2015 21:40

This is true. Feel deflated now... Need to turn attention elsewhere lol. Your right he could be doing any number of things

Turn volume off, put phone to one side, watch something on telly 'River' on Iplayer is bloody great or 'catastrophe' on 4od
Or read a book. Distract yourself!!!!

Surepillow · 12/11/2015 21:48

He's read the message (sent on fb)... No reply.

Time to bin the idea of this one?

Oh dear! Try not to stress.

You texting will not have changed how he feels.

If he was not interested before the text then you are just finding out before you turn up at the date/get let down.

If he is interested the text won't change anything and you'll feel reassured.

Threefishys · 12/11/2015 21:51

Bloody hell give him chance!!

Ladygaggia · 12/11/2015 21:52

Do some exercise, squats, pelvic floor exercises etc...you'll feel better and get a nice anxiety-toned bum

I spent last weekend wondering why everyone was ignoring my texts. I was so lonely Sad
Then Sunday evening I rebooted my phone and all my texts sent...it was too late to meet anyone then!

SerenityReynolds · 12/11/2015 21:52

You've done all you can. It's horrible, but better to know one way or the other rather than torturing yourself for days about it. And at least you haven't invested too much time on him. Turn off your phone for the evening. If he hasn't responded by tomorrow morning then I think you have your answer. Hope it works out for you Flowers

Surepillow · 12/11/2015 21:53

Ok so he said he had been unwell and not had chance to talk. Very chatty now.

I'm still suspicious. I need to stop it!

Threefishys · 12/11/2015 21:54

I'd just keep it brief now and say you'll see him Sunday Smile

Ladygaggia · 12/11/2015 21:59

Maybe he was really happy that you'd texted as he was waiting with baited breath to see if you would.

I'd give him benefit of doubt, unless you're in Norfolk as he does sound like the guy I've been puzzling over!

Robotgirl · 12/11/2015 22:06

Stay positive OP. He sounds like a decent bloke. He's prob been waiting for you to make a move. Do you always worry this much ?

Surepillow · 12/11/2015 22:14

Yes I do :(

I don't think it's obvious to him though..

Robotgirl · 12/11/2015 22:19

Sounds like you might have had a bad experience in a previous relationship?

23jumpstreet · 12/11/2015 22:26

Did he text back?

Surepillow · 12/11/2015 22:31

Yeah I have in the past, not been good.

We are taking now :)
