I asked him out, he said yes now silence

[Jilly113]

After months of developing feelings for somebody I see on a regular basis (He works somewhere I have to frequent, a lot) I worked up the courage to ask him out today.

I asked if he was single and when he said yes I asked if he'd like to go for a drink together. He said yes. Great, I said, shall we swap numbers? I'll give you mine he said, so he did, then I text mine across.

I think it took him by surprise as I hadn't indicated that I liked him in that way. Anyway.

This was 10am this morning and he hasn't been in touch.

I know its hardly a week of silence after the fact but he's one of those people who use their phone constantly and upon reflection he didn't seem all that enthusiastic.

I feel a bit silly for being so direct and think I might have scared him off.

It's going to be so awkward seeing him now 😔

I haven't spoken to him no, his demeanour makes clear he doesn't want to speak to me whatsoever. I was going to be bright and breezy like it never happened, no hard feelings, but he's giving off a weird vibe so I'm leaving him to his awkwardness.

What a weirdo!

It seems like he forgot he said he’d text you later and was instead waiting for you to text him and as time went on and you didn’t, he’s retreated into insecurity because he doesn’t know where he stands. Regardless of his parting words, OP asked him out and asked if he was single, so I think he expected her to follow it up and is confused by the mixed messages.

I think he said he’s msg her? In any case if he were interested, I think he’d have reached out! Any man would have done

Yes, he did say he would text… I’m just trying to get my head around this odd avoidance behaviour he’s displaying now. It makes me think that he was somehow waiting in limbo and is now embarrassed. Next time you see him OP, just shout “Boo!” when he starts scuttling away.

What an immature man 🧍‍♂️

Sounds like you had a lucky escape there OP .....this man has issues.....

Just say "Good morning Simon" and see what happens.

I’d love to see this

Indeed, it's so unnecessary it's got to be a him problem.

I haven't text him once. Haven't approached him once (since I asked him)

I haven't done anything at all to warrant such an extreme reaction.

You asked for his number, didn't text him and then have ignored him ever since.

I'd be giving you a swerve as well to be honest!
