Why isn't he texting back?

[yellowbedsheet]

Went out on Friday with my friend. Ended up meeting a guy and honestly felt this amazing spark from the get go. Like nothing that's ever happened to me before. We spoke all night, had so much in common, he ended up coming back to mine and we dtd. He stayed a little while in the morning then left. I text him later that day (I know -too eager) and he replied. Replied to a couple more texts (slow response but good texts - didn't seem like he doesn't like me) but it's now been over 24 hours since he replied 😕

Shall I just give up now and admit it was probably just one of them one night things and I should grow up a little and forget about him? Just really liked him and he said on the night he'd be asking me out again etc. Ugh I feel like a teenage girl

His name doesn't start with a J does it? One of my friends is notorious for this, and went of with another woman Fri night. Some men are just after playing the field unfortunately.

You were much too keen. You need to play a man like a fish!

'Play men like a fish' Ffs. Double standards yet again. Would you recommend to a male friend that they did that to a woman?

Itchyknees you are so right
I think men are terrible for playing women
And women are too often fooled .

one of those gender imbalances
I'm afraid
we've all been there
onwards .....

@SongforSal oh my god it does begin with a J

Oooh

Oooh!

@FuckItPassMeTheWine

All these factors make me think why wouldn’t you just wait a bit longer before putting yourself at risk!

So if you wait til date 3, he'll have been magically cured of any STIs, plus OP would have extra ("purity"?) protection against pregnancy??

... Not in a town beginning with the letter B surely?

Cross your fingers but don't hold your breath!

He gave you the right number and has replied to your first texts, it's only been a day. There may still be some hope.

Strawberry they do anyway!

... Not in a town beginning with the letter B surely?

Jesus in Bethlehem? That old dawg

I keep coming back to this conversation in the hope he's got in touch!
I waited six weeks, but he did get in touch.

@SongforSal
no it's not him then hahaha oh god that would of made for some brilliant reading wouldn't it

@Sharkwithknees
That gave me a chuckle 😂

@WasFatNowThin
Still nothing 😕 guess it's time to give up the hope. (Though I had added him on instagram on the night - totally forgot. He hasn't yet accepted or declined. And I feel a true ghoster would of declined already?who knows.) (Literally holding on to any shred of hope 😐- pathetic I know)

I guess still no contact? You have my sympathies OP, I've been where you are and it's bloody horrible.

FWIW, my advice would be to stop all contact now and walk away with your head held high. Even if he does come back, he's going to think his behaviour is fine and you'd be on tenterhooks waiting for the next time.

Trust me - if a guy is interested in you then you know it!!

I disagree, a true ghoster would neither accept nor decline as to do so would count as 'contact'.

Sorry.

At least you got a good shag out of it!

Late to the party, but..

His name starts with J, he's not from an area beginning with E?!
My friend is notorious for this nonsense!

HE HAD LOST HIS PHONE AND WE ARE NOW GOING ON A DATE WAHOOOO.

Will update when we are eventually engaged to be married which of course will definitely happen ❤️

(Joking about the marriage MNers don't worry!)

He lost his phone and found it a couple of weeks later? Happy for you about the date but just be careful he's not full of shit x

I'd maybe not write him off. People lead busy lives and 24 hours isn't that long for someone you've met once. but definitely don't text him again. If his next communication isn't to ask you out on a date then he's definitely only interested in one thing and he assumes he will get it

Sorry I commented without getting to the bottom of the thread! Hope you have a fab date!

Omg op that is such a watery excuse.
Booty call?
Leave early for some reason so he isn't getting his rocks off.

He didn't lose his phone OP.

Have fun on the date but try not to take anything too seriously - you don't want to end up with a broken heart.

Trust me - if a guy is interested in you then you know it!!

Absolutely @AllMimsey

I've had a several what I thought would be 'one night stands' before I got married and they all ended up being relationships because the guy called the next day. Heck my husband of 14 years was supposed to be a one night stand.

Found it just in time for a shag this weekend. Very convenient.

Sorry OP, but blind Freddie can see that he's after round two.

He hasn't misplaced his phone and just found it now.
