Conundrum Next Conundrum

First date, went well and spent the night together cuddling n kissing. No intercourse, but intimacy. Now he's ignoring me. Whats that mean?

We met on a dating site and he was looking for all the same things I was, though I was more apprehensive about 'love' in terms of jumping the gun. But, we had our first date, it went very well... Good conversation, good vibes and when it was done, we had a goodnight kiss... Then he asked me to go to his house to watch a movie. I did and we spent all night cuddling, kissing and talking and ended up getting a bit more intimate towards the end of our date. When I left he kissed me and held me for a moment. I asked him if he wanted to see me again sometime and he said yes. Now he seems to be ignoring me, never called and though he's out of town on business, I'm curious what happened there? Did I get played?

That could been a few things i feel and this is what i think

1:) He wanted more then you gave him and has decided to give it a miss since all wated was some sex from you which makes him shallow and not worth it.

2:) Hes embrassed and is not sure what to do next and feels if he talks to you he will make a fool of himself if you have his number just send him a text saying thanks for the other night had so much fun how about you? and see if he answers, he he does not answer you then you could have your answer and hes lost intrest but when you see him and just say hi did you get my text and see what happens

3: He could of changed his mind about you and does not wont to hurt your feelings and is not sure how to tell you that this is the case.

If he really likes you then he will come back to you and tell you what is on his mind, just play it cool and calm and dont act to keen and desperate and see what happens as i feel that if there worth it they are worth waiting for and if he is ignorning you because you did not give him sex then forget him and move on to someone that likes you for you and not just your body

hope that helps

One minor detail you left out is how much time has passed since this first date? If he's been on a business trip since this first date then you will have to cut him some slack and assume he's very busy. If he was in to you then he will get in contact with you again when he returns from business.

If several days or even weeks have passed and he hasn't returned your phone calls or emails then you can probably assume he's avoiding you. Just be happy that you got to fool around and have a good time on your date and move on.

No sense in worrying about it. What happens, happens. You have no control over it so enjoy every minute of your life with or without some dude from a dating web site.

Good luck :)

Ack! I never go for the "go to the house and watch a movie" part of a date. That's almost code for hopefully something more will happen.

From what you've said, it does seem like he wanted something more. Usually we know deep down why someone isn't calling. If he's been out of town, he can still call or send a text. I also think guys know that if we don't hear from them within a couple days it pretty much means they're not interested.

If you really aren't sure, then shoot him a text. If you still don't hear anything from him or he doesn't ask about the next time you'll see each other, then plan on moving forward. Don't sit around driving yourself crazy and wondering about it.

Maybe he just doesnt feel he wants to be in a relationship, or maybe he just didnt get where he expected too. Theres many different reasons why a man will not reply after a first date, even when things like this happens. What you have to remember is to a lot of men, women are just an object to be picked up played with then dropped when they are bored. My best advice would be to move on to someone who will truly appreciate you for who you are not what you can give them x

In terms of "call back time" men don't play by the same rules that we do. Usually, they're worried they'll seem pathetic if they have a voice mail waiting on us when we get home after our date. In general, it seems men usually wait about a week to a week and a half between seeing you and then calling.

If it's been longer than this, chances are the date went too well... Let me explain,

You hit it off wonderfully with this guy. He's been single a while and forgot just how nice it was to be close and intimate with someone. When you came along and gave him that warm feeling with all the cuddling and kissing he went into an "Uh Oh" frame of mind. He may be a bit scared to get too close to you too soon.

And so now you get a tad bit of the cold shoulder so that he is able to regain composure and regain his emotions before he goes out with you again.

My guess is he was scared he liked you a bit too much and backed off purposely.

Give him some time to regroup and he'll be calling again in no time.

Perhaps he realized later that he's not really "into" it. It's best to stay away from him. If he does not make the first move , then consider it a lesson learned and move on. There are still several fishes in the ocean. He does not deserve your attention.

I have dated guys from dating sites, those who get into the cuddling etc real quick want a ‘quickie’ in my book. I am not that kind of girl, but I know many are. I have also learned the hard way with a few guys that if I did not give in to sex quick in the relationship they walked away.

I am too old fashioned I suppose but I deserve much more then a dinner out and a romp in the hay. I am not looking for quickies and that’s why I am avoiding the dating sites now.
