Question - (29 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 October 2009)
A female Ireland age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hey guys,

I have been talking to this guy for a week or so through the internet, we met through a social event so its not an online thing.

The other day he asked me for my number because he was asking me about going to the movies together.

I gave him my number and he texted me the next day, I texted him back and did not hear from him until very late that night. Therefore I texted him the next morning and we began a convo. He did not bring up the movies again and he didnt text back after about two hours of texting. I dont want to be the first to text all the time either but what am I suppose to do if he doesn't text me. Is he leading me on? or could there be another reason? Please help

Lean back and let him come to you. Trust me, if a guy is interested, even if you don't respond he will try again. Be careful with text, it means nothing to guys. Let him come to you, and don't be so quick to respond. If he makes you wait two hours... you make him wait 4.

Lexie88 agony auntHow much do you know about him? Is it possible he has a girlfriend?

I think if he really wanted to see you it would have happened by now. He's either not that interested or he has someone else and he's realized that he can't actually take you out. It happened to me. I cought up with an old friend for drinks (he'd pursued me in the past but I wasn't available), then he asked me to the movies but never followed through. When I ran into him again he apologized for 'disappearing' and said he had a girlfriend and couldn't really go out with me. So yes, it happens.

Anyway, what to do now if he doesn't text you? Nothing...you go on with your life, do other things, don't text him. If he wants to see you he will get in touch, no doubt about that.

If he does get in touch make sure it's to arrange a date, not just to text, you don't need to waste time texting. If you do go out with him and arrange future dates, make sure he follows through with what he says, calls when he says he will and all that. Many guys will take what's given to them, even if they're not sure they want it. Be careful of this. Let him come after you. He will if he wants to. There is no need for you to do anything at this stage.
