Search Results: is he avoiding me

I matched with a guy on a dating app. The conversation was good, flirty, and engaged. He seemed genuinely interested and even talked about meeting up, like he was available and open to it.

The last time we talked was Dec 31 around 8pm. I suggested meeting up sometime soon, nothing pushy, just casually suggested it. Since then, he hasn’t responded at all it’s now almost three days later. This includes New Year’s Day and the start of the weekend.

I haven’t double-texted or followed up yet. I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt because of the holiday, but the silence feels confusing since he previously seemed enthusiastic.

Does this usually mean loss of interest?

Being busy / distracted?

Avoiding saying no directly?

Or is this still within a normal window?

I’ve been hearing this a lot recently. Even my brother, who works as a freelancer and in the trades, has said the same thing. He graduated in computer science, but he wishes he could go back and do things differently.

Especially young men are trying to avoid modern schools and instead “get their hands dirty” doing real work, getting things done, networking, and contributing to civilization in a more reasonable way.

Hi all, I guess I just needed to vent but also would like your opinion. So it started raining pretty hard while we were out walking (we brought an umbrella though), and I started walking faster so that we can get back home quicker. He got mad. Ok so I slowed down so he can shield me from the rain with the umbrella he held.

Then when we were about to cross the street, I hurried again as to avoid the car (that’s still a distance away) I see coming up to the crossing. He then yelled at me and people were staring. I think he felt embarrassed so he got quiet. I was a bit shocked but I tried to stay composed, I kept my distance from him but tried to act normal overall at the restaurant. I do feel a bit scared and felt like he overreacted, I know he was probably frustrated because I was walking too fast… but what do you think?
