Is this a waste of time?

[whiteteeth04]

Guy met online, been on 5 dates over the past month. He's quite nerdy and I thought seemed shy but I like him. Wednesday slept together for the first time. He stayed over and we messaged Thursday evening.

I ended up replying Friday lunchtime as I was super busy. However since then I've heard nothing. I asked if he wanted to do something tomorrow afternoon and obviously he hasn't replied.

Generally he sends long messages that are well thought out and I do the same, hence we usually only message once per day. I also think he went out last night.

So should I text again? Or leave it and put it down to a waste of time?

Don't message again. Just leave it and see how he responds. He could genuinely have good reason for not messaging or he could be a dick. Wait and see.

Do you think he's worried that after sleeping together no reply from you thursday night might mean your not that bothered
If he's shy he might have got the wrong impression and is hurt

Well I don't blame him in a way. How hard is it to send a quick message especially as it was after the first time you'd slept together?

Sorry we had messaged Thursday - he replied then I didn't have time to respond until yesterday.

Not sure what to do now.

Life's too short not to be direct at this stage, you're in the early stages, start as you'd like to go on. Drop him a quick message "hey hope everything is ok? Did you get my message about meeting up tomorrow? Fancy it?"

He was out last night - maybe he's still asleep, or hungover or just super busy this morning?

He'll reply if he wants to. And if he doesn't, then you have your answer.
