StarGazer126 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this. I've been dating a guy for 2 months. Everything had been going really well. For the past two weeks, the communication between us slowly began to decrease (he started calling less, texting less). Feeling that he wanted space, I mirrored his actions and began to decrease how often I engaged him first. Last Tuesday (8 days ago) was the last time I physically saw him. We made plans for this Thursday (tomorrow) and we also discussed plans for my birthday, which falls over Memorial Day Weekend. Before we parted ways, he said he would text me later that evening. He didn't. On Wednesday (the next day) we briefly spoke on the phone, but it seemed distant. I attributed this to him being sick, as earlier that day he said he wasn't feeling well. On Thursday, he text me late that evening saying that he wished he could see me (we didn't have plans) but he didn't want to get me sick. Unfortunately, I had an absolutely overwhelming day and didn't reply until Friday morning. When I did reply, I wrote, "Hey there, I'm sorry I didn't reply last night. Had a pretty rough day. I hope you're feeling better!" And nothing. His "read receipt" indicated that he had read the text immediately, but I never received a response. It's been almost 6 days. I'd like to text him, but my insecurities are getting the best of me and I'm afraid of rejection as I have felt for the past two weeks he has been gradually losing interest. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Guys, what's your take? Thanks!
curlygirl40 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 My answer was 'no' just by reading the title of this thread. That's always my default answer to the question 'should I text him'. He's not that interested if he's willing to just let that much time go without being in contact with you. Let it go. You were the last to make contact, he was already showing signs of losing interest before that. The ball is firmly in his court and he's chosing not to do anything with it. That's all you need to know. 2
candie13 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Leave it. If he doesn't contact you in the next week, I'd even delete his telephone number. He'd be a gonner, in my book, by that time. These rules don't exist for nothing. You're more involved than he is. Continue this way and you'll get to feel even more pain. Better now than later. 3

Author StarGazer126 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks for the imput! That's what I thought. I'm disappointed because everything started out so great. He seemed so interested in me, showering me with compliments, attention, even going so far as to say, "You seem perfect, is there anything wrong with you?" Hmm... I guess I lost my appeal once the chase was over. I feel so rejected! This was the first time I dated anyone since my divorce over a year ago. I can't help but think I'm feeling more "hurt" over this than I should be, since it has only been two months. I guess it's time to stay busy, postive, and keep my options open!
