Forgetting to facetime me?

6 replies

I Dont know if i'm over reacting, but i have gone home for the summer away from a guy that i have been seeing for 3 months (we have not had a serious talk or dating yet) but we arranged to facetime and he just never did it and forgot, he even didn't bring it up the next day. I feel like if he liked me he would be really keen to facetime and not forget.

He forgot. People forget things. I suspect you like him more than he likes you.

It isn't necessarily a bad sign - unless it happens regularly or is part of a pattern of not seeming to care. To give the benefit of the doubt, as a one-off I wouldn't let it bother me.

However I'd be on the lookout for similar behaviour. Don't do all the chasing, try to allow it to be 50/50. If you find you're always the one doing the running then he's either not that in to you (and so best to cut and run) or he's a lazy so and so who expects you to do everything (and so best to cut and run).

One way to find out, if you think you're making more effort, is to back off a bit, don't be so available. It should highlight if he doesn't make any effort, and if it doesn't work out you leave with dignity.

You said he didn't bring it up the next day? So he's still in contact but didn't FaceTime? maybe he just didn't feel like it but if he's contacting you in other ways then his interest is still there. Remember you are just seeing him so don't have too much expectations just yet, I'm thinking if any kind of relationship is going to elvolve then it's going to be slowly if after 3 months it's still the same, are you sure he's right for you? tbh I wouldn't wait around on one man after all this time, if he's keen to be with you he'll be contacting a lot and offering to visit you.

If he'd really wanted to facetime you, he wouldn't have forgotten. But maybe he hates facetime? Maybe he'd prefer to phone or meet? It might not be personal.

But really, if he's triggering you to have to post on a forum to get clarity at this stage, I'd just stop now. You'd feel secure and won't need to look for reassurance from others, if this had legs.

Did he forget or did he just not want to. In all honesty I'm kind of all FaceTimed out after the last year. I avoid it all costs even with people I love loads and have known years. I'm just over it all.tbh you've only known each other a short time, it sounds very casual and you've gone home for the summer. It's ok to have expectations of what you want but it doesn't sound like so ething serious so may be his expectations are different.

3 months in and if I’m really into someone I would never forget to FaceTime, and I absolutely hate FaceTiming. I just think he’s just not that into you.
