Why has he suddenly become distant?

[Anonymous]

I met up with a guy last week and we had an amazing time. I really liked him and he seemed to really like me, he held my hand and even went in for a kiss when we said goodbye. We were really enjoying each other's company, he didn't even want to go home. I felt so happy but since then he has become quite distant and not been texting as much. We texted a lot more before we met up. It's been 2 days and I've heard nothing and I can't understand why as our date went so well. He's acting like he doesn't want to know me. If he was so interested on our date then why is he acting like this? I wish he would text me as I don't know where I stand. It's been really upsetting me and bugging me as I really like the guy.

What do you guys think about this and is there anything I should do?

There are a couple possibilities, If it hasn't been that long, then you dont really know him and for all you know he could have worked things out and gotten back with an ex he recently left.
Or
He is "dating" meaning meeting multiple women and going on dates til he finds the one he truly falls for and he met someone he started to click with more and slowly became distant to you not wanting to hurt you but not man enough to face you and be real about it.
Or but the least likely,..
Something bad has happened and he needs space and its not just from you, and may not even be caused by you.

a couple possible reasons.

1) another girl either came (or came back) into his life.

2) he is playing the "3 day rule"

3) things like work/school are making him busy

4) he lost/broke his phone

5) he decided he just wanted time to himself and play some video games or whatever.

(number 5 has cost me a few good tinder dates).

I would say 2days is a little early to say "he doesn't want to know me".

also it's 2017... send him a message?

okay I'mma tell you right now whats happning its called the pull out!! he doesn't text you or talk to you for 2 days usually supposed to be one day but it makes you more interested in him!! girls do this trick all the time and they don't notice it so be looking forward to a text or call tomorrow or the next day

How do you know this is true? So should I wait another day and not text him tonight?

[Thephilosopher1]

well that's up to you how thirsty are you that's the question he's playing the game obviously he knows little bit what he is doing to me a relationship is not a game. it's spontaneous action

[jay6000]

he looks at you and thinks that he is not interested but goes out with you because you are funny/cute/fun and this is better than staying at home or doing boring things. the moment where he made things escalate, he decided to hold back and not continue because the breakup/disappearance is only gonna get worse if he proceeds. he is not interested from the start but there is something about you that he likes. he knows that you are falling for him... he is a gentleman for doing what he is doing. this is basically saying that what happened should not happen again...

I did that once. I had been talking to a girl on Skype for quite a while but when I we had our first date I knew right away that it's not gonna work out. I didn't want her to feel bad so I decided to at least squeeze the most out of the date (just having fun, no sex or kiss expected). I didn't talk to her much after that date though she'd been texting me until I told her that I was "busy".

Forget the texting bullshit. You'll wear a guy out with that crap. It should be only to setup your next meet up IRL.
You miss all the emotion and all the body language in a text, so you're missing half of what is being communicated. You simply cannot forge a relationship by texting.
Wait for him to invite you along for the next time together. Make sure you enjoy it.

When a guy like an person, like you. He want to know if you are the right person. But, I think that he find someone new. Or/and he is hiding something from you. I am not sure if he likes you. You should know a person before you have any relationship with you fall in love with anyone.

Could be he just doesn't have anything to say? I often go long periods without talking to some of my friends.
If it bothers you then take the initiative and talk to him.

You say you want to know where you stand and here's how you find out; ask him! Send him a text or call and say "hey fucker are you attracted to me? If so then let's go out again."

maybe he got to the point where he thinks he doesn't wanna get too close cause it mean different to you if he's feeling uncomfortable or starting to go distant try talking to him ask him why and this might let out some other thoughts

[IPreferGirls]

Have you asked him whether or not he likes you? Cause if not do this!

But if you have, make him realise how great you are. This always works for me and one of my friends have me this very advice. Use it wisely!!!

I think another girl is in his picture, so he's putting her first instead of you.
