So he organises (enthusiastically) a third date for tomorrow but doesn't get in touch all week?

What to do?

And his phone has definitely not fallen down the toilet....

Goodness me! A date has been organised. Why does he need to be in touch?!

Pre mobiles that was how dating worked!

Mummymoo23 · 27/06/2024 19:46

I think that’s fine. I think it leaves you stuff to talk about on the date and stops things drying up. I would maybe text before the date to confirm time etc just to make sure he’s still up for it x

Upinthenightagain · 27/06/2024 19:46

Do you have a time and a place? If so presume it’s on and keep your cool. If you don’t have either just make other arrangements. I wouldn’t text him. You don’t need to remind men of your existence

TheShellBeach · 27/06/2024 19:47

Just go on the date?

I don't understand the problem.

pubertyalloveragain · 27/06/2024 19:47

No set time and place that's the thing.

And he was texting like billio up until maybe 5 days ago and then the sudden stop...?

New to all of this again.

Ah.
Then don't go on the date.

pubertyalloveragain · 27/06/2024 19:49

Totally agree re pre texting dating!

At that’s not good. Sounds like he’s ghosted you unfortunately.

Personally even if he messaged now I woyldnt go. I wouldn’t want him thinking I was sitting home waiting for him.

pubertyalloveragain · 27/06/2024 19:54

Seriously this is just a minefield. First date great, he went away for three weeks to visit family abroad, said he hoped I wouldn't meet anyone while he was away, texted immediately when he got back, had a morning date, so lovely and clearly a load of chemistry, asked to meet me the following day, I couldn't. Organised this and now this... I am tired!!!

Oh well bugger him then.
It's his loss.

He probably just liked the thrill of it. Now you've shown you're keen, he's flaked.

Runnerinthenight · 27/06/2024 19:58

Can you just ask him straight?

This is why I CBA if I was single. Too much like hard work!!

I joined a local "are we dating the same guy" site just for idle entertainment. OMG the pieces of work on there! I'd rather die alone and have my cats eat me lol!

I wish I was bad ass enough that it didn't bother me.

He's clearly a dick and it's as well you found out sooner rather than later x

Upinthenightagain · 27/06/2024 20:00

Definitely it’s a no go if no date details. What you might get is a drunk text at some point. Best to block and move on.

Mummymoo23 · 27/06/2024 20:00

Not worth your time then! I was ghosted before date and it’s horrible feeling however if that hadn’t of happened I wouldn’t have met my wonderful partner. Don’t let this one coward put you off x

pubertyalloveragain · 27/06/2024 20:01

It's obvious, he's met and probably laid someone else in the few days and I'm old news now.

I just want to tell people like that they're rude cowards.
