Do you think I've blown it?

Guy I'm seeing messes me around.
Today I text him two messages.
He read them but didn't bother replying and he's on Facebook.
He's sitting online on WhatsApp but can't muster a reply.
So I text him another text saying
"Oh sorry are you busy? Considering you can't seem to string a reply together"
I probably shouldn't have done that and just waited for a reply shouldn't I ?

Why would you bother texting someone who messes you around?

lubeybooby · 08/04/2020 11:16

you haven't blown it he's just not that into you

neetreetpeyite · 08/04/2020 11:17

Most of the time he reply's fast and he started the conversation today.
So that's why I don't understand why he does that.
He messaged lots yesterday but then makes me feel like shit today.

You don’t have to play this game. Drop the rope and move on.

Tableclothing · 08/04/2020 11:19

Don't let him make you feel like shit. Put WhatsApp down and go and do something in real life that makes you feel good.

Lllot5 · 08/04/2020 11:20

He’s doing it on purpose to keep you hanging. He’s a dick stop messaging him and find someone who actually likes you.

CalleighDoodle · 08/04/2020 11:20

Well, you were passive aggressive, so I wouldnt continue to reply to you and certainly wouldnt reply to that message!

BUT he messes you around. Why is that your standard? Block him and work on yourself.

notchickenagain · 08/04/2020 11:21

It's going to be hard for a lot of relationships during no contact let alone ones where his texting/non-texting makes you feel like shit. Call it a day until things are back to normal to see whether it's worth continuing. You need to look after your mental health and this isn't helping

neetreetpeyite · 08/04/2020 11:22

Then normally when he does this a hour later he will reply even tho he's been online.
It irritates me.
I have nothing to do today either.
No garden,stuck indoors.
Normally I would leave my phone and go out but can't even do that.

Wait, so he has been messaging you today already? Maybe he is just right now!! Ive been in a whatsapp message conversation this morning with work. So i would look online to my friend who was waiting for a reply about something, but i was busy working.

Is he working? Are you not working?

But mainly, he messes you around. Work on developing your hobbies and interests, your friendship circles. Dont put up with shit.

Lllot5 · 08/04/2020 11:24

You’re not listening he’s doing it on purpose.

neetreetpeyite · 08/04/2020 11:25

Both not working due to current situation.
So he's has no excuse except he is doing it on purpose or he just can't be bothered with me.

OP posts:
CalleighDoodle · 08/04/2020 11:26

Is that what messing around is to you? Sometimes it takes an hour to reply?

Seriously, why not say youd rather chat on the phone than message throughout the day.

MashedSpud · 08/04/2020 11:27

Depends what the messages are.

If they are forwarded memes/videos etc maybe he didn’t think he had to reply.

If they are whiney/moany/complaining messages maybe he doesn’t want his mood brought down.

CalleighDoodle · 08/04/2020 11:27

So why do you want a relationship with him?

neetreetpeyite · 08/04/2020 11:28

They weren't moaning no.
I had been out for a walk sent him a pic
He was saying he wasn't going for a run today etc
Then I sent two asking if he was in the garden yet and he should just relax today
Read straight away and nothing

Monsterjam · 08/04/2020 11:28

Jeez maybe he’s just thinking what to say, take a break from the conversation, got distracted and thought he’d replied.... if I was the recipient of your message yes you would have blown it

Qsandmore · 08/04/2020 11:28

Two different things here.

A - how does he mess you around? The answer may mean you don’t bother anyway.

B - online offline stuff is designed to drive us nuts. Go back to normal text message and you’ll feel saner. My life is insanely busy at the moment so I’ll answer a WA that is a two second job. But to some peopleI’m not because it requires a little more thought so I’ll do it in an evening when things calm.

He could be doing anything, chill your beans.

MashedSpud · 08/04/2020 11:29

When he replies don’t reply for an hour.

Let him see what it feels like.

hellsbellsmelons · 08/04/2020 11:30

Guy I'm seeing messes me around
So WTF are you still seeing him?

ErickBroch · 08/04/2020 11:31

Sorry but he's not into you - I would delete his number to stop you wanting to keep texting, it just makes it worse

KrakowDawn · 08/04/2020 11:35

Maybe he's in the shower? Or the garden? (It's bright, can't see the screen)
Or cleaning out a cupboard?
Or playing a video game with a tricky bit?

If you're not feeling it, don't see him any more, but not replying for an hour...? Wow. Sometimes my friends don't reply for 24 hours. People have stuff to do!

neetreetpeyite · 08/04/2020 11:39

I forwarded him a meme just there
He's response ha
That's it
Ha
Yesterday he was sending me message after message all day
I don't understand him

How long have you been seeing him? How did you meet?

spacewitch99 · 08/04/2020 11:47

Jettison him out your life. Use lockdown time to binge watch movies and eat ice cream while your emotions thrash and gnash their way to acceptance that this relationship is over and you realise you deserve better.
