Red flag?

[Suchafooooool]

Matched with guy on app today and from first glance we looked really similar - spookily similar! Lots of similar likes etc so was quite happy.

had a bit of chat and mentioned I was with some old friends today whereas he has happened to have the day free. He said if I was around he’d be happy to meet. I said I’d let him know but was obviously with said friends.

we had some chat later, I was still with them but let him know I could do a weekday next week if that was better. He agreed and said we’d work it out

he has since been online but not responded to what I’ve said (just said sorry today would have been good to meet but seeing friends took a while)... pretty sure he wasn’t after ONS as he suggested meeting middle of the day but equally it’s not really standard to expect someone to be free the same day as you match is it?! Sort of feel like he is annoyed at me for not being immediately available hence ignoring messages

Calm down & give it time. If he doesn't reply on the next day or so, get annoyed then but you could potentially be reading too much into it. You don't know him at all though so proceed with caution & go slow. Good luck

let him know I could do a weekday next week if that was better. He agreed and said we’d work it out
Could he be waiting until he knows when he's free before he takes the conversation any further?

It's definitely a red flag if he's annoyed that you aren't available to meet at the drop of a hat. It's definitely not a red flag that he hasn't wrote back yet.

Thanks I’m not so bothered about the not messaging yet (not at all!) but I am if he is annoyed about me not being free ASAP.

My recent ex got super annoyed I was busy when he wanted to see me..so much so he asked for us to have time alone..yeah he’ll be getting that alright.
Give him time but go with your gut

Just weird as he has generally responded instantly all day and messaged a lot

You're way too invested in this person you've never met. You're setting yourself up for a disappointment. I speak from experience.

He could be annoyed or he may not be bothered at all, hence no need to respond. At this stage there's no indication as to what his lack of contact means. Try not to read into it. He could be like this with numerous others. You don't know anything about him yet. Pretend he doesn't exist until you hear from him again 😉

Maybe he's already in a relationship, wants to see at short notice during the day, not available in the evenings 🤔
I think it's a red flag, that's too much to want to meet the same day as matching, that's too rushed.
