Is he that busy?

Both 29.

Chatting for 2 days on app. Moved convo to Snapchat and ended up taking for 3 hours. Said goodnight last night and he said talk more tomorrow.

I was so busy this morning so didn’t initiate. He send me a snap at noon as mentioned saying he’s so tired from last night staying up late chatting.

I snapped him back 1 hour later.

but I haven’t heard from him for 6 hours now. The dating app shows he is also been offline for 7 hours. So he mustn’t be online.

curious… has he ghosted me? Or just busy. He’s lovely and I’m hoping to see if this turns into more.

Dont be so desperate.

Don't be ridiculous, it's been a matter of hours. He is probably busy spending the day with his wife and children. Hell be back to texting you when she's putting the kiddies to bed.

I don't think you are being "so desperate" OP - but on here I've noticed a number of posters like to criticise anybody who acknowledges the existence of modern dating texting conventions (i.e. that when excitedly chatting to a new potential love interest it isn't normal to be offline for hours without a reason - and if you are really keen on someone it's normal to drop that reason into the texting conversation using words such as "going to be spending time with family today, so let's chat tonight" or similar. )

I think a lot of posters on here communicate with their gentlemen suitors by writing letters - or perhaps they get a servant boy to hand deliver a note.....

The thing is, OP, in reality nobody can tell you. There are lots of things he might be doing: sleeping; drinking with the lads; spending time with family; at work: at an event; hunting for the phone he had lost. My ex disappeared like this early in our dating, and turned out he was on his motorbike ....

All you can do is ask him when he comes back.

And stick to letter writing in future - much less "desperate"...🤦
