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

What @RedDwarves says. He's full of shit.

Oh dear...

So he’s been without a phone for 2 weeks ....na don’t buy it OP.

He lost his phone and didn't replace it or manage to borrow someone else's for two weeks?? Be very on your guard if you decide to go out with him.

How has he got your number if he lost his phone ? Did he contact you on Insta?

Noboozeforme - most smartphones back up contacts to your cloud server.

I really hope you have fun OP and that you can come back in a few months and prove all the cynics wrong.

It’s not cynicism, it’s realism and trying to help the op from not being hurt. 🤦🏻‍♀️

How convenient he managed to contact you for a weekend shag.

Sorry but into today's constant checking phone society, there is no excuse for anyone to not be able to contact you for 2 weeks.

As pps have said, I'd be very wary of this guy op. I don't believe for a second he's lost his phone for two weeks then just happens to find it and contact you.

FuckIt - I know exactly what it is. But I still hope for her sake this proves the exception and not the rule.

No , you’re actively encouraging to make a bad decision

Go on the date but don't sleep with him. You might not even fancy him after all this hoo haa. See how keen he is if you don't DTD !

Ah OP ignore them. Enjoy your second date!

Oh you miserable lot! He didn’t open those messages so clearly he did lose it!

I’ve been with my one night stand for 15 years married and have 2 kids!

A shag too soon...

Yup, same here WhiteLily83, I'm still with my one night stand, 10 years and two children later.

I had my last ONS in 1996. I married him in 2001. Still together.

If you want to see if he is genuine don't shag him tonight or look in his phone to see if there's any action from him to others during the period of The Lost Phone

Ive been in this situation after 3 dates, 5 dates, 7 dates. But ive figured out they use long gaps inbetween texts to communicate that they're gonna pop back up again but they are never going to be your boyfriend.

He even knew where she lived - he'd spent the night there. He could have found her if he'd wanted to...

He is taking you for an absolute mug and you are letting him.

Exactly what Honeyroar said, I think some people are focusing on he fact it was a ons but that's not the issue, it's the fact he took so long to get in touch, if he really wanted to find her he could've, through Facebook, Instagram, he knows where she lives.. nothing to do with the ons

How was the date OP? I think some posters felt protective of you and didn’t want you to get let down again, but maybe things worked out ok?

Hopefully he has lost his invisible cloak this time
