Can early dating survive 3 weeks between dates and a lost phone

Had been dating for 4 weeks, weekly date, daily communication everything seemed positive, he got a opportunity to go abroad with a friend at less than 24 hours notice and went on the holiday and is coming home Boxing Day then will be travelling to his home town for Christmas... all fine

On his first day of his holiday his phone was stolen meaning we have had zero contact, it's felt strange as we have been i daily communication for the past 5 weeks and now time is getting on I'm feeling a little uneasy almost like he's probably just forgotten about me, nothing will be able to be sorted with the phone until he's home

So now I'm just sat here wondering what now, do I wait and see if he contacts me when he's phone is replaced and if he doesn't do I just leave it, should I reach out to him? Going through every possibility that maybe he might lose his contacts and won't have my number etc

How do you know the phone is missing like how was he able to communicate this to you? Its a long time to go no contact without even just a text in between. Could he use his friends phone to message you on social media privately or whatever? In my opinion if he was interested he would make a bit of an effort to at least message a few times to show you hes thinking of you

There are too many holes in his story. You should just move on.

Yeah I'm sorry I wouldn't buy this at all. I'd assume that this is his way of ghosting you and get on with your life as if you hadn't met him. If he does get back in touch it's up to you what you do but I'd encourage you to be very cynical.

Yes this is bollocks. He’s either with someone else or he’s ghosting. He’s find a way to message if this were true and he isn’t so it isn’t

Thought maybe I was just cynical... I see I'm not the only one.

If he managed to tell you his phone was stolen, then he'd manage to contact you afterwards. Which he will, when it's easier to get away from his family.
Have you looked him up, catfish style? Some people say it's stalky - I say anybody should have a look, because we just don't know if people are who they say they are.
