Should I text him?

    About 8 weeks ago I met a guy on a night out, we exchanged numbers and were texting for a few weeks. We made an arrangement to meet up, but I had to cancel as I had to attend a funeral! After about 3 weeks I didn't hear from him for a few weeks until I got a text in the middle of the night that appeared to be a Booty Call! I never replied to him, but now I regret it! 3 weeks have passed since I got that message!

    Is it too late to text him now?

    And if I text him what should I say?

    Hi there,

    I,m a bit confused as to why you regret not texting him? would you be happy to oblige his booty call text? If so then go for it -as long as thats only what you want.

    Alot of the time when you meet someone out there is a certain time frame things should happen by. 8 weeks is quite long and something should have happened by now!

    IMO i think you should cut your losses and move on. The fact that you didnt hear from him for a while until you received the late night text means you probably can do better...and never sell yourself short!

    Hi Nottherealdeal,

    I certainly don't regret not getting back to him on the booty call, I was quite annoyed about it to be honest. But we got on incredibly well and I do like him. What I am regretful about is not texting him the a day or 2 later and making a joke of it!
    Part of me thinks that because I didn't give him any reply that he may be embarrassed and that's why I haven't heard from him.
    Is that wishful thinking?

    It's wishful thinking, sorry. What's coming through to me is that he's less than enthusiastic about the whole thing. Is there any particular reason why you hadn't tried to meet up before that date you had to cancel? It's a bad sign that he went missing and only resurfaced to send you that text.

    You have to ask yourself why wasn't he trying to arrange another time for you to meet up? And secondly, why, of all the hours of the day that were available to him, he chose to send you a booty text in the middle of the night.

    The wisest thing you can do is delete his number and forget about him. If a man is interested in you, you'll usually know.

    I'm a bloke and I reckon you should text him. He's probably mortified about texting you in the middle of the night when more than likely he was jarred and will not text you again. A lot of fellas are so in the dark when it comes to actually initiating something with a girl that they've met casually on a night out that the middle of the night text is a face saving device. If you take the bait well and good but if not he can just pass it off as a drucken text. He is interested believe me or he would not have texted you at all.

    you should really have text him after the funeral instead of waiting for him to text you, especially considering you were the one who cancelled. bit late for it now to be honest

    One text in 6 weeks and you think that's enough for you? Know your own value!!! Don't text him unless you want to be that booty call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 422 ✭✭zxcvbnm1


    The responsibility was completely at your end to arrange the new date after the funeral. While he did probably believe your reason for postponing was genuine, inevitably when someone cancels a date there is always a slight question mark in someone's head as to whether it might be a fob off. that's why whoever cancels should be proactive in rearranging. 
    He probably assumed you weren't interested and that it actually was an excuse after all. (or else that it was genuine but you weren't fussed on making the effort to rearrange)
    Either way - he naturally assumed you weren't interested. 
    However - he still maintained enough interest to keep you in mind 3 weeks later. 
    What did the text say? Was it actually a request to call over? Or was it just a drunken hello?
    He absolutely thinks you're not interested now anyway seeing as you didn't respond to that text. 
    People can't read minds !
    He certainly won't be texting you again. If you want to meet him you will have to text him. 
    If you like him then text him. Arrange to go on a date. And to avoid confusion if booty calls don't put out for a few dates and see how it goes.

    A text in the middle of the night? Hmmm...I'm thinking that might have been drink related given that he had not heard from you, then randomly sending you a booty call text?

    He was either drunk, or he's an utter twat, preferably the former. OP, you should have arranged something with him when the funeral popped up.

    Anyway, it's a text...you're worried over a text?...

    If you still want contact with him, RING him.
