Basically there's a guy I like, but I'm super shy and can't bring myself to ask him out. He gave me his number and I texted him, but I haven't gotten a text back. I know he worked today, but its like 10:30, nobody works that late.

Screw love. I'm dying alone.

maybe he didn't get the text or doesn't recognize the number?

You'll find someone

Why would you give up so easily? Don't do that...

He texted me something before so I know he recognizes my number.

Should I do the dreaded double text?

Why not and this point it won't make a difference maybe he didn't get a chance to look at ur text yet-give it another try. After that if no response then fuck him

Okay, I'm taking your advice.

I just texted him again.

Let's see what he says wishing u luck

Okay that muthafucka just sitting there looking at the phone-fuck him! Move on I think 30 min is long enough to wait after that he is dismissed If he's now working a night shift there's no fucking excuse

I hope he's working late. I think he works at a club, so maybe that's the reason.

I'm gonna be nice and sleep on it. If I wake with no text, all hell is gonna break loose.

Dang. Give the man a break. If he responds he may be interested. If he doesn't he may not. Nothing invested on your part-nothing to lose.

I wouldn't be interested if I knew you were tweakin' over a couple texts that I didn't respond to "fast enough". That shit freaks some guys out. There's a MILLION reasons why he might not have responded OTHER THAN a lack of interest.

Screw him.

Screw everyhing!!

Number is deleted.

Blah!

His phone is lost.

His phone is broken.

He was in an accident.

A family or friend was in an accident.

A family member or friend died.

Is your text really THAT important? There was a time NOT THAT LONG AGO when getting in touch with somebody the next day was considered normal, ya know?

Blah!

Seriously, I would never want to date you.

Terrib3Towel said:

You think I'm being irrational? Well maybe I am, I'm new to the dating world. I don't know what to expect I guess. This isn't the first time I've been shut down, I'm tired of being rejected dammit.

Oh I don't know you well enough to know if you're being irrational or not, really.

But being dead serious, if you come across this unsure and impatient in the "real world" it would be a giant stop sign for me. The kind of men that just want to get at you will be quick to respond. And maybe one of them will be what you're looking for. But if you're really looking for "love", it appears as though you might need to chill a bit. Relax and let things happen on their own time table.

I'm not saying this guy isn't avoiding you, either. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. But even if he is, give him time to do it right! "It's been ten hours!" Uhhh... really? What is ten hours compared to ten weeks, ten months or ten years?

Correct.

Also, for some reason I thought you were a guy. Didn't we talk about football or somethin'?

This thread has inched me closer to the pro side of the "Love Is Destined" debate.

Love isn't destined. Love is a chemical reaction that makes people act even more stupid than we do already.
