This question is for the guys because only they can answer guys actions with good insight.. (I hope)

Anyways, i met this guy out i spoke to him for about 5 minutes and he asked for my number because i was leaving and he said he wanted to speak to me again. Anyways, there was an instant attraction, he texted me that night and was really talkative...

Now, i'm honestly not a clingy person. But it's been about two days and he hasn't texted me since? Is this normal for guys to do.... I was thinking maybe i should make the move this time and text him,what do you think? Because i didn't get any sense that he didn't want to speak to me or wasn't interested? So he might of fallen asleep and forgotten to text back.... What do you guys think?

I don't think he is still interested in you. His cellphone hasnt been robbed nor is broken. That's the kind of one-in-a-million situation! Simply he does'nt want to text you/has forgotten about you.

You should move on, get on with your life. Date/talk to other other guys etc.

If he wants you he's going to make his way to find you, be it through sms messages or callings. If he doesn't you'll have already moved away.

olderthandirt agony aunti didn't know men "texted". Most of us men are waiting for the technology to advance to where you can just talk on those phone things.

Text him. Something funny or a casual hello, just to let him know that you're still around. If he doesn't respond to that, then he's probably got something else going on in his life at the moment or something.

I would wait let him call or text you first, at least until it has become a bit of a routine, you don't want to come off as desperate either, and he could be testing you to see how clingy or needy you are.

He might also like his own space now and again, some people are just like that including myself, but it doesnt me they don't like you or they are not interested.

If you don't hear from him within 2 weeks (reasonable time as he may genuinely be busy)then id accept he isnt interested and onwards to the next date!

He also could be just taking things slowly, and by not txting for a few days to begin with adds a bit of excitment and mystery, which helps keep the spark between the two of you.

(HI I ASKED THIS QUESTION.............)

So if he does text me back, how long should i wait before texting him? I don't want to wait a day, because then we're never have a conversation if we both take a day to reply to each other and it'll get boring waiting so long! ...But roughly (and hour, three hours) how long to make him wonder like he made me.....

Illithid agony auntMen that call or text back right away look clingy or desperate. There's almost no easier way to turn a girl off. And look how interested you are now, how much you're thinking about it and worrying about it. He got you hooked by waiting. Had he texted the next morning, you wouldn't be as interested. He'd just look needy. Meanwhile, NOTHING is more attractive that mystery.

Look girl... Boys and girls are both people and it's not a guy thing or a girl thing... It's people's thing!

There are people over there that think they need a game to play so everything could go accordingly as planned...

BTW I'm not like that... I'd had made the call already asking you out...

Also there's people out there with so many things in their heads that maybe he really forgot!!! (very rare... after all a single guy don't forget a cute girl) Well at least I wouldn't!

Anyway you shouldn't judge or assume before knowing for real! So take action!

If I were you I'd text him asking to meet... And hope for the return! Or even better ring him and if he don't answer got with a txt message... And that's it...

If he don't return don't get sad girl... He's just another looser who lost a great chance to meet a nice girl! :)

Hope for the best :D

Good luck!

cupidus agony auntAverage guy will not want to look too clingy either and polls have it that a guy will call back after 3 to 6 days. Any longer than six days girls usually won't bother to give him the time of day. Hang in there, but I'd wait.
