Question - (22 May 2013) 3 Answers - (Newest, 23 May 2013)
A female Sweden age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I sent a guy I've been meeting a text last Monday at almost 12am (end of monday). Monday was a day off here for most not sure if him since he always works night shifts and he doesn't always know when he works. Usually he's off Mondays and Tuesdays though.

It's Wednesday (almost 2 days) and he still hasn't replied.

I was asked how it was going with him by some friends and told them the above. Girl A told me to text him again. While the other Girl B shrugged and sighed and said "it's not fun to nag/fuss, but..." sighed and then walked away because she had to go back to work (they're both older than me, A is the oldest (above 30))

A asked me because I was showing a lot of interest in a guy which I normally don't do. And girl A kinda accused me of two-timing. I don't want to focus on two guys but I don't want to wait around..

It feels like girl B meant that I should wait a bit more before I do anything. But that's just what it seemed like from the way she was talking.

I don't want to two-time even though we weren't in any "real" relationship. We still were physically close and talked a lot about "personal" things (that's why girl A called it "two-timing")

Text again. Wait few more days and text. Or be done with it and move on. (Kinda don't like option 3 that much...)

First, make up your mind which guy you truly want to date.

If the first guy doesn't respond. Then leave him alone. One text and a call a couple of days later is reasonable.

You can make a fool of yourself and find yourself hearing from two guys at once.

One discovers you're seeing the other; and ending up with no one at all.

If you're playing games; hopefully, the first guy never gets back to you. Since he isn't your first choice anyway.

I would wait, the name of the game is for the guy to chase the girl not the other way around. If you text before he replys then you will come across needy and he has the upper in the dating, when where and how. You are only dating and this means that neither of you are in a relationship yet with each other. That may come later depending how your dates go with each other. As the saying goes dont count all your chickens until they have hatched.

Be patient, play it cool and dont make yourself too available. Make him work to earn your time. If he doesnt want to then he aint the guy for you.
