Dating dilemma

PrettyPleaseXo · 05/10/2025 15:16

I’ve been on two dates with a guy (last night was the second date). Between dates we don’t text and he’s openly said he’s a terrible texter but both dates have had amazing chemistry and we ended up sleeping together last night and he stayed over. When he left this morning lots of cuddles and kisses etc
now he’s text today but it was about not knowing where the condom was and wanting to make sure it hadn’t slid off inside me and we spoke but he didn’t initiate a 3rd date and laugh emojid my last message
Do I leave the ball in his court now? At what point do I message and say okay I feel there’s a lack of interest have a good life and thanks for the dates as I’m the sort of person who needs closure

You've given him an opening for a third date and he hasn't responded to it. He will suggest meeting if/when he wants another shag. If that's what you're looking for then great, but if you're looking for a ltr, then he isn't it.

Reading those texts he's not responding to your 3rd date opening or asking you any questions. He doesn't seem that enthusiastic unless he's quite a flat texter anyway?

I think you should leave it and let him initiate texting and suggest a 3rd date. If you are constantly doing it, you won't get a proper read on his interest level.

I did and this doesn’t scream I want a 3rd date does it 🤣

Could you maybe try for a message that doesn’t involve a 😝 emoji ?!

Where was the condom?!

Gosh, this is a bit cringe, OP. Leave this man alone, I think.

'Yes I'm taking the easy way out'. He's told you that's that then it seems.

And if that's not the case, he's not suitable dating material anyway as he's failed basic reassurance at the first hurdle. If he either can't put himself in your shoes or doesn't want to then he hasn't got the emotional intelligence to have a healthy relationship.

Thanks everyone, closed the door on it!
