I am in early stages of seeing someone. Haven’t been on many dates but still getting to know each other. We usually text 3-5 times a day everyday. He said he is busy over the weekend and said he would have loved to go on date but can’t. I just liked his message and kept the convo going and responded to his other texts. Then he ghosted me for a day and got back the day after as if things were normal. I asked what had happened and he said he forgot to respond and that days go by so fast these days. 😐 I asked if he could meet the weekend after (setting aside my ego). But I can’t shake off the feeling that he ghosted me. I wonder if it’s because I did t respond to his initial text of meeting up. Do guys ghost you if you accidentally piss them off?
Edit: we are in mid-late twenties
Anxious attachment style.
Guys don’t generally play games. Sometimes we get busy and forget, or we read it and don’t see a reason to respond.
You must be young. When you get older, its not ghosting till after 4 days. We’re busy, this a lot of shit that’s demanding all of our attention before we have time to even take care of ourselves.
If your standard is set in minutes, hours, days weeks to respond. Thats OK, but its your standard and not necessary theirs.
Feelings? What are those?
He’s playing games..move on
I’ll accept all the down votes. I’m giving the same advice I’d give a guy if a girl he was interested in kept disappearing for 24-48 hours and coming back like it’s normal behavior. Nobody is that busy to respond to a text.
You’re not that busy. Some people don’t want to be in a constant back and forth in text. If you respond then she responds, then she’s timing you again, on and on.
you knew EXACTLY what you were saying.
Maybe, maybe not, it’s hard to know.
Guys do often get busy. There’s work, maybe school, maybe he was visiting relatives. There’s plenty of things that could have needed his attention over texting you at that moment.
You sound clingy. Sometimes people are busy or want some alone time to watch a movie, read a book, etc. It’s not that deep.
1 day no contact isn’t ghosting. That’s just life.
I’m a guy. If I didn’t respond for a day, it was because I was just doing things that day.
What’s with all these “for a day” posts. The TikTok “right now” crowd needs instant gratification and constant social handholding. Go find something to do.
