Hi April,
I met this amazing guy online. We haven’t met in person yet, but we share mutual friends.
He asked for my number saying he is not very great checking the dating app and joking that he would only call me ten times a day. I gave him my number and also suggested that we go see a basketball game together at a sports bar. He said he wasn’t free that night, but would do be better by taking me to a real game.
Obviously I was very excited and was looking forward to texting me back. Only it didn’t happen. Eight days later, I was very frustrated but held back by frustration and sent him a short message saying, “I’m disappointed that you didn’t call me ten times.” He again responded three days later saying that he’s sorry and he has been swamped at work. I responded the next morning saying it’s okay and I understand work can get busy sometimes. I asked him whether he would be free to grab ice cream. Ten hours passed, and I didn’t hear from him and I got upset. So I sent him this text: “Yawnnn again. I’m going to be off this app for a while because it’s getting boring, but you can text me at my number xxx-xxx if you are interested. If not, I will see you at reunions. Bye!” It has been two days, and I haven’t heard from him. I’m trying my best to push this aside, but I can’t stop thinking about it.
What should I do? If he doesn’t respond, can I wait a few weeks and try one more time, if so what should I say without coming across as too aggressive or strong? Please help.
