I would not put any thought in it, as in dating you should be seeing multiple guys similar to him. It's choosing or not choosing game, no commitments. Just keep looking and keep in mind if he texts you are his "fallback plan" not a priority


+1 There's no such thing as ghosting after one date. While you had a nice time, it wasn't what he was looking for. Move the F on.


Agree. Ghosting is someone you’ve gone out with at least several times, kissed, fooled around etc

After first date is absolute best time to be ghosted. Be thankful. Nothing to be shocked about, it happens and it doesn't mean anything horrible about you, just not a match for him.

To me being ghosting is when someone doesn’t respond when you reach out. The numbers dates of dates doesn’t matter.

You exchanged niceties afterwards. He went out of town for a few days. It was a holiday weekend, so he may be busy and perhaps assumed you were busy too. It’s hardly ghosting.

And where are you people located that are purchasing phones that only receive calls and texts? That must be really inconvenient.

we met in person prior to going out on the date and kept in communication leading up to the date.

i’m on the side, that if he was interred he would’ve checked in by now.

also, i don’t think i’m “needy”.

i’d agree that something about me, just didn’t click for him.


All 31 year old unmarried women are needy. And in every country in the world, not just the US.

You sound interested - why haven’t YOU checked in by now?

Ghosting only happens when there is a relationship. One date does not a relationship make. Otherwise, you're ghosting every time you block a telemarketer.

We’re discussing dating, not telemarketing. Do if I went out with someone, reached out to them and they haven’t responded, then that is ghosting.

Well, I certainly hope he hasn’t been interred, but if he is it would explain not having heard from him.


Ha! Brings new meaning to being “ghosted”.

A guy that has expressed interest for over two months of going out, we finally met up.

We went for dinner, drinks and then hit another spot for last call. Then, on our way back the cars, we hit the park.

He let me know he was going out of town, the following day. So from there, i just wished him safe travels.


…. i haven’t heard from him since

i’m on the fence of reach out to him verses, if he was interested he would’ve reached out and it’s been a week.

Freaking out about a guy not texting you for 2 days when a) you e only been on one date and b) he told you he'd be out of town is needy.

This is why dating multiple people is good so you don't become obsessive

It's been a week according to OP. The guy isn't interested. Why are people pretending otherwise? The signs are clear, OP just needs to pay attention.

Yes, a week. The last line of the OP "i’m on the fence of reach out to him verses, if he was interested he would’ve reached out and it’s been a week."

He's not interested.

He’s not interested if it’s been over a week.
