I know I probably already know my answer, but I wanted to see what others thoughts on this situation would be.
Two weeks ago I (31 F) had an amazing first date with a guy (31 M) I met on Hinge. We went to this museum of illusions first which was interesting and different, but perfect to break the ice with meeting someone from an app for the first time. It was a quick 30 mins to get through the museum, but we decided to go to a nearby bar for a drink and dinner to keep the date going. We sat at the bar talking for 4 hours. We had great conversation the entire time, so great that we totally forgot about getting any kind of food. I made sure to incorporate touch while we conversed, touch on the arm, touch on his leg, and it was received well and touch was reciprocated. (I’ve had experiences in the past with dates where I was too shy and they took my shy-ness as lack of interest.. so when I am interested I am trying to make it more obvious). We ended the night making out in my car for nearly an hour and it was lovely. It’s been sometime since I have been with somebody who also really enjoys kissing, so I definitely relished in it.
He texted me when he got home that I was a fantastic kisser. We continued to text everyday the next couple days. With my confidence on high, I asked him what his week looked like next week and suggested we go for a hike at a nearby nature place since the weather was looking warmer for the week. He said yes. I wanted to see him again, so I took the initiative.
We continue to text daily. I followed up with him a day before we agreed to have our hike, making sure it was going to work and although he did suggest an earlier time in the afternoon (I could only go after work) he did agree to go.
The day of the hike, we are still texting like normal, even extra flirty up until it’s close to the time to go on the hike.
I text him a little before 4:30, when the time is that we are suppose to meet up.
Anddddddd I never get a response.
At almost 8pm he finally texts me that he had something going on with his parents and that he needed to hangout with them that night.
I was more disappointed that he didn’t respect my time. I could’ve went and done something else with my late afternoon/evening if he would have let me know that it wasn’t gonna work out tonight.
I waited a day and I did text him. the text conversation
That was a week ago today. Maybe I was a little to harsh and way too forward. But not only did I get ghosted that night, I also found out my grandpa passed also so it was quite a double whammy. I don’t think asking for respect is too much.
So my question to the other daters of Reddit, do I say anything else or leave it be? I do (did?) like him - but with him not replying to my last message it feels like that’s my clue to let it go.
