Current version: since I haven't heard from you, I assume I should fill the nights this week I haven't already filled with other plans, and I'll just see you when I get back after my trip at some point.
Supposed to be exclusive, but clearly his mind is elsewhere. |
I haven't heard from you, so I'm going to go ahead and make other plans. I'll see you when I get back from my trip.
(That is less bitchy but maybe not pointed enough. Do you need to get a point across?) |
Best thing is not to text. If and when he texts - be breezy and say oops sorry - didnt hear from you so made other plans. |
This. |
This times a million. |
This and only this. I beg you! |
Yes, this. |

If you feel compelled to send that first text or anything close to it, just pick up the phone and have a conversation. Otherwise, move on with your trip and let him contact you. |
Just tell him what you want. No need to be all hurt about it. "I miss you and I'd like to meet up before I leave for my trip. Are you free on Thursday?" |
Another vote for this. |
I would make a slight edit and take out the oops & sorry. It's not a mistake and you have no need to apologize. |
Just don't text. Unless you want to see him on Thursday day or whichever day works for you then text "do you want to see a movie whatever on Thursday".
Your original text is needy and guilts him into something. |
Also agree with the suggested text unless you want to make it more pointed. If so, then when he texts say
I didn't think you were interested, so I made other plans. If you change your mind, let me know. |
Yep. Only shorter and without so much guilt: "Already have plans. Maybe when I get back?" |
