Question - (23 July 2016) 4 Answers - (Newest, 26 July 2016)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My friend and i have decided to go on a date next week.

We always chat online ( we have met in person ).

The other day he said him and his family were doing something for his dads birthday going to a seaside so the original date was canceled till next week.

When anyone ever messages him on social media hes starting to take a while noticing hes got messages and replying .

I text him the other day too but the message didnt get to him ( my phone tells me ) so i asked him does he have a new number, no reply .

He'a free agent i know but he' changed over the last couple of month like he'a being picky who he replies and talks to.

Doesnt want anyone knowing he'a online , and im not understanding why he would change his number and not tell anyone.

Apparently he is really excited for our date but im thinking something is going on with him.

i just cant put my finger on it . How do i handle this ?

aunt honesty agony auntHe is not giving you good signals. If he was really excited about the date then he would be writing back to you. I am not sure if he has changed his mind, or he is nervous, it could be he is also dating others. Either way it is your choice weather to go on the date and see how he behaves or not message him and see when he contacts you. It may also be that he does not use his phone much.

Maybe he arranged the date and is now wondering what happens if it goes pear shaped and he loses your friendship if it doesn't quite match up .. I do think it's rude if he is saying he wants to be more than friends and then his action ..I. e he's not answering your messages .. would indicate to me .. he's dodging .. so I would wait and see what happens and if he doesn't contact you I would be very disappointed if I were you as friends .. tell friends if they are uncomfortable with anything and if I were you .. I would give him the option of Justin leaving the date ..

Honeypie agony auntI agree with Denizen.

Move on, girl. You are wasting your time here.

IF HE really was so excited about the date, don't you think he would have CALLED you if he had a new phone number? And do you really think he would be screening YOUR calls if he was SO excited?

Sounds to me like he isn't as into you or going on this date as you might think.

Denizen agony auntI think you should find a more mature partner. To be honest you both sound like teenagers not adults. Your preoccupations with who's online and who isn't; when you get a reply; and going to the seaside for his dad's birthday without you. Come on! How old are you really?
