What do you think ?

Met guy face to face Wednesday last week.

Spoke via text and voice note every day since.

Facetime Monday evening for a couple of hours.

Heard nothing since.

Have I been dropped before anything even began ?

Opinions please wise mumsnetters!

My guess is that he likes you but doesn't really fancy you.

Or he's got several irons in the fire and currently prefers someone else.

Or he's the one who's been initiating all the calls and is wondering if you like him enough to call him.

Who knows? But don't spend your time trying to fathom this - it's him, not you and ultimately it doesn't matter what his reason is.

Did you talk about seeing each other again?

Do not further contact him. He's likely found someone else.

Sounds like there is more than one person he is entertaining at the moment. If his attention is not with you, it's most likely with someone else

Yeah I’m usually quite good at picking up hints that someone isn’t interested….my gut always warns me and I thought the same as all of you.

Ah well !

Careful of the come back saying how busy he has been, once things don't work out for him with the other person.

If you're wanting to post regarding questionable contact patterns after meeting someone once, it doesn't really matter what we think. Doesn't it just turn you right off?

I’ve gone crazy and messaged him myself 😂

If I don’t get a response , I’ve got my answer.

Oh no shame I think you shouldn't have messaged. He'll probably answer quite lukewarm (I've been busy, he'll say). Then he will invite you on a low effort date (coffee, a walk?) expecting sex. Just throw him back please

And if you do get a response, he's potentially got exactly what he was looking for: a relationship where he has to make no effort, and still gets chased by the girl. Bully for him!

But what about you?

If you get a lukewarm response, just let it fizzle out. Quite honestly, if he was that into you he wouldn't be able to resist messaging you, his silence is saying he's no longer interested. It doesn't matter why, and it doesn't do you any good trying to find a reason, just move on from him and start talking to other men.

Agree with all of the above.

Im actually quite pissed off now. Typical scenario when he was talking about how some one had treated him similar to how he is now treating me and how he was so fed up with how people can do that……

I honestly think men are a joke.

@Moominmoominmoo don't beat yourself up, we all make mistakes in dating. Honestly there's no excuse for not texting it's a 10 seconds thing. I've been dating for quite some time (met someone, didn't work out, now hopefully I've met someone else) and when they didn't text daily I knew it was fizzling out.

If you're looking to date, go online and distract yourself (and have a laugh too )

I honestly think men are a joke

Most people aren't compatible with most people. There's no need to generalise or get bitter. There are lovely men out there, and to group them with someone you find disagreeable does you and them a disservice.

He pulled away, and when you sent a message, he didn't stop pulling away. That's up to him. Nothing to do with you. Just find someone better.
