dragonfire13 Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Met a guy, he seemed keen. Kept saying he wanted to meet up again for coffee. Exchanged phone numbers and the guy also found me on Twitter, messaging me on there again to say he wanted to meet up again. I told him to call or text me to arrange. I didn't hear from him for a couple of weeks so I assumed I'd just gotten the fade out. However, I got a text from him at around 11pm last night (which had me wondering if he's trying to set me up as a booty call?), talking about how he accidently unfollowed me on Twitter and that he'd rectify it once he could remember his password. I told him I wasn't too bothered (I actually removed him from my list as my tweets are protected and since I thought I wouldn't be hearing from him again, I didn't want him to have access to my page), and since he had just text me, he could continue to communicate that way. He replied saying Twitter's a good way to get to know each other. I was tempted to reply saying "yeah, if you're still 12", but thinking that might be a bit rude and confrontational and have just left it. I don't know if he's just trying to establish a friendship, trying to take things slowly or if this guy is just too used to web dating or something, but I really don't get this dude. I also have a desire to confront him about his lack of follow through now he's gotten in touch, as he repeatedly said he wanted to meet up for coffee but that seems to have conveniently slipped his mind. Tips on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated Edited September 6, 2014 by dragonfire13
leavesonautumn Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 He's keeping you around as backup. To what, I can't exactly say as you have never even had a relationship with or dated him. You don't owe him anything and neither does he. Forget about this guy and continue meeting new people. 1
Author dragonfire13 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Yeah I confronted him and he said he wanted to get friendly on Twitter to gauge my interests and see if we have anything in common. I told him that was a lazy way to try and get to know someone better and that he'd be better off trying online dating lol. 1
acrosstheuniverse Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 He replied saying Twitter's a good way to get to know each other. I was tempted to reply saying "yeah, if you're still 12", but thinking that might be a bit rude and confrontational and have just left it. Haha, that would have been the end of our correspondence right there and then. He isn't putting any effort in, he isn't interested. Don't 'confront him' about his lack of follow-through: he already knows that he hasn't followed through and almost certainly has no intention of doing so. It would just make you look very desperate. I wouldn't even waste energy getting back in touch with this guy.
