katkit Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 So I have been dating this guy for almost two months. We live in different states, I met him right before he moved back to Boston. We have talked about being in a long term relationship together and we agreed that we both want that. Im 25 and he is 30. So anyways, Sunday morning early in the morning he sent me a text saying he was going to get a new phone that morning (he had been having problems with it, but was too cheap to get a phone) so he was finally going to get a phone. So he said his phone would be off for a while so it could charge and he would text me when his phone was back on. So I havent heard from him since then. I called his number several times today and it said it is temporarily out of service. What am I supposed to think? Its now Tuesday night! I dont think he would bail on me like that. He didnt give any indication that he didnt want to be with me. He is supposed to be visiting me for a week the last week of this month. Advice please?
Soul Bear Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 \what shops are open that sell mobiles on a SUNDAY???!!! If you know that parts ok, then I would say you have nothing to worry about. Give it a few days P.s I really hope you hear from him and all is well
SoulSearch_CO Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 SoulBear - maybe it's uncommon where you live, but there are all kinds of places open on Sundays that would sell mobile phones. And I live in a rural-ish area. That aside...uh...this guy has NO other means of communication to you than his cell phone? Like a landline, a payphone, email, a friend's cell, smoke signals, etc, etc. I don't know - I'd be a little upset that he SAID he would get back with you (now granted - he did say he'd text when his phone was back and it doesn't sound like it is) and he hasn't. In this day and age of electronic communication, that doesn't feel acceptable. This might sound annoying, but I sure hope he's got a good excuse (like he got hit by a bus and has been in the hospital in a coma ).
Soul Bear Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Everything is uncommon in Scotland. We are a pretty backwards nation. Dynamite wouldn't blow the wax out of our ears. I agree with SoulSearch- He should have a pretty good explanation. I would hate to be kept waiting in worry like that. It's not very fair.

If his phone is shut off... then i'd understand why there wouldn't be a text from him. But that doesn't excuse him from not e-mailing or calling from a different phone to explain the situation. My ex used to do that to me all the time. All I can say to you, is prepare yourself for a BS excuse, and figure out if allowing this to continue to happen is something you want from a relationship.
xpaperxcutx Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I can understand the lack of a landline phone ( since they might even be going obselete) but I can't understand why he wouldn't take the time to contact you through other means? AIM? EMAIL? FACEBOOK? I mean seriously just about everyone has some kind of online networking profile like FB to contact others. Unless he's playing the disappearing game I wouldn't want to bother to think of a plausible excuse on his behalf. Please blacklist him.
