It's now really late, and I've not heard anything from him, not even a "sorry" text. I don't want to run after him, but I'm really quite upset and angry with him - I mean, how much effort does it take to send a simple text?! What can I do?

 Sigh... I am a weird girl, I have a suckish phone, yes it IS hard for me to text! In fact I find it downright annoying, most of the guys i know share my opinion.
It's one itty bitty text!!!! Things happen, to err is human! What a famous line but yet ignored by the anxious girlfriend oh so many times! I was in sure situation just ten minutes before I typed this! I was not freaking out though, boys will be boys, it is needless to say more. My boyfriend is on what he said was a boring camp out and said he had to go about three hours ago and said he'd text me around 11. He didn't. I texted him and he said he was afraid to wake me up so he figured he'd text me in the morning. He also said he was beat from the hike and wanted to crash so we said I love you and good night. Your boyfriend may also just be tired. See how thing pan out. Wait. Calm down. Relax. Go to bed.

 It could be due to some human error.Maybe,he enjoyed himself too and forgot to text you .Or it could have escaped his mind.
You could have send a text to him if he did not send one as promised.

 haha well in my mind texting takes a lot more than it takes to dial 10 numbers.
but as i see it a lot of people do say they are going to text when they really dont. i think the line "i will text you later" is becoming that new line just to be friendly. just like when you say "nice meeting you" even thou really dont want to see them again. call me crazy but i feel its kinda drifting that way.
so basically just let him be and see what happens... about all you can do

 That happened to me too! Its amazing isn't it, how people tell you they will do one thing, and then let you down. Im sticking to the version of them falling down the toilet, thereby preventing them from giving me signs of life whatsoever. And in my opinion they can stay down there too.

 Oh for flip sake, you're angry about one missing text? How easy is it to write a text... sure. But how easy is it to fall asleep on the couch, or have your phone battery die, or drop your phone in a puddle of water. I'm guilty of all three reasons and while such occasions are rare, its not time to cut and run just yet. I find it ridiculous that this is a big deal and some aunts are saying to move on. Mistakes happen! Its when the genuine, rare mistakes become suspiciously frequent and turn into convenient excuses to give to you... THAT is when you know you should jump ship. Quick question though... is this your actual boyfriend or just some guy?

 He may have not had a chance to text you yet, but still. If he genuinely was sorry and cared he would make the time. Don't waste your time on him. He'll come to you if he cares.

reader, anonymous, writes (15 May 2010): I'm having a similar problem. Yesteday my boyfriend said he would text me to let me know if he come to see me. Time ticked by and I heard nothing. 2 hours later I was angry and upset. He finally text and said hi. I asked if he was working and he said no. I was upset that he didn't text me like he said he would. Anyway he called me and told me he didn't text me because he wanted me to text him, that I could have sent him a text and asked if he was working. He was right. My lack of texting is a problem that we have had since day one. I don't text him as much as he would like. So he left it until late to text me. He was trying to get me to text him. Anyway I have made more of an effort today! Maybe he wanted you to text him? I hope he texts you tonight. But wait until you see him in person to tell him how you feel.p.s. My boyfriend did come around last night and bought me the cutest teddy bear :)

I know its a horrible thought but there's not really much you can do right now.
If he does get back to you again tonight tell him how you feel. You may not know the whole story.
He might feel rude towards his friend.
Hope it goes ok, I know its hard but try not to worry too much :)

Just don't bother with him anymore. You can find a much better and more interesting man than him.
