I send someone a WhatsApp message 1 day ago and he’s not opened the message but I can see he’s been online. Is it possible he’s not got the message or is he ignoring me ?

BatheInTheLight · 15/08/2023 22:46

I read your last post and said out loud, aaaahhh you fucking didn't!?

EVERYONE said DON'T. JESUS. I feel for you.

That's what I said. Either that or it is someone who clearly is not in the right place to be considering serious relationships if they are this attached to someone they barely know. It's worrying.

My money is on he is married and is archiving your messages until the wife is asleep.

This!

Oh OP. If this is real, you have a lifetime of disappointment ahead of you. Please seek counselling to see why you believe you are so worthless. :(

Laurabeee · 16/08/2023 11:27

I have been in that place. It can drag a relationship out by a few days to weeks at most. My only regrets are not walking away sooner.

When you meet the right person you won’t be on a forum asking for any advice as the answers will be obvious. :)

BingoBastards · 16/08/2023 11:35

You're quite hyper, aren't you?!

Chill out.

Seryse · 16/08/2023 12:06

All the indecisiveness.... perhaps that's why he didn't respond, in the nicest possible way OP you seem a bit much/intense, maybe he felt smothered, seeing how back and fourth you are with I'm going to text him, no I'm not, I'm doing it! ... I'd be put off by that erratic, needy vibe. Do yourself a favour and try to relax a bit.

Finlesswonder · 16/08/2023 12:42

Dude you need to work on the content of your messages.

So the one he didn't reply to asked how his day was.

The one you sent now was "are you okay"?

You need to up your game

Olika · 16/08/2023 12:46

You are wasting your time with this man. Move on and find a man who actually is interested.

LeilaM42 · 15/08/2023 21:44

I caved in and sent a message

Why?

For what purpose?

GentlemanJay · 16/08/2023 14:58

Has he put you in archived and not spotted it?

Confusinglyconfused · 16/08/2023 15:08

Either have a conversation with the man or stop flogging a dead horse. He's not there to entertain you when you're bored. How are you isn't a conversation.

So he answered me straight away, we had a chat and in the end I told him we should just leave things as they are. We don’t live close to each other and we both acknowledged we have feelings for each other, it’s not going to be practical! Thank you to all who responded to my post.
