Is it normal for a guy not to text back after a one night stand?

A few nights ago I had a one night stand with a guy my friend and I met that night. I texted him the next day asking if I could come over to pick up my necklace that I left at his place. He didn’t respond to me but he read the text. My friend and I also followed him on Instagram the same day but he only followed her back. Why would he not respond to me or follow me back?

  • For guys that do that, well, it's considered normal to them. They got what they wanted, they've lost interest, and found a second target. It's almost like a business. Tight planning, constantly looking for potential "buyers" or targets, cheap as possible since they don't want to make any unnecessary costs, cooperation with, in this case alcohol or maybe even drugs to prevent thinking clearly, and off course a low payday. ( in this case a lost necklace, morning after feelings and a douchebag richer in your life.) For guys like me, who don't want and never had a night like that, I hate guys like that. Treating woman without respect. Just trying to get in their pants, and once they're in, they only see you as a lust object. Nothing more than that. They made you a slave. They want to control you. Misuse you. Fucking dicks. People like that guy should be hit in the face. With a shovel. These are the guys that are the worst of men. And if that guy already had a relationship with someone, ugh. That would've been bad. But yeah, it's considered normal, in this century.

  • Sadly some guys are like that. Send your friend to get your necklace if it's important to you.

    • He'll probably try to sleep with her too. Go together for the necklace.

    • Unfortunately guys are dicks.

  • When did you meet this guy and how long have you been friends? I don't understand if you mean you met him that night as a person, or met up with him as a friend and then slept together?
    If you were friends before this it could be that he doesn't know how to talk to you now and is worried it's ruined the friendship, on the other hand, if you meet him that night and slept together, seriously he won't contact you. Don't waste your time, as others have said, get your friend to get your necklace and forget him

  • Ya... sorry to say. Going out and having a one night stand means, have a sweet night, get pleasure with a guy, then walk away the next day and never look back- it's like a business deal, both get what you wanted, without paying each other for the service. That's how I look at it, for a one nighter. So pick someone hot, and enjoy it. The guy will do thesame for you. Hugs.🙄

  • It's a one night stand so yeah, completely normal. I feel like that's pretty obvious. The dude's probably worried you thought it was more than that so he's avoiding you.

    Since he seems more receptive to your friend, ask them if they could try getting the necklace back for you.

    • However is it just the necklace or she wanted to meet him again? :D

    • True, maybe OP left it there on purpose. If that's the case, she should have known there's a good chance she ain't getting it back.

  • If it was for one night I don't see the point in texting you back? I'm confused please explain what it is you're really saying? Did you want a call back? I haven't had one but I "assume" you hook up do what you do and then go ya separate ways? I don't know

    • She said she forgot her necklace at his place and wants to collect it. She's not asking for a date or something.

    • OH I see

  • Well he should have responded so you could get your necklace. But, it’s a one night stand. That’s what they’re all about. You hookup and have a nice life.

  • Some guys think girls leave things on purpose so they can see them again

    • Agree..

  • What a strange question. The woman gives her aproval to a man to what so ever. Ofcourse man are free to do what they are pleasing then.

  • I wouldn't text a ONS back either. That's the point of those, so I don't have to talk to that person ever again.
    Sorry about your necklace. Now you know to put it in your purse or something so this does't happen again

  • Yes this is normal. Unless you have a golden neckless, he is probably just making you wait to make you want him more, hoping you can have sex once again, or maybe even try and see if you could start a relationship. Wait for one week, he should answer. If he doesn't, tell him you just want your neckless back.

  • YEAH!!!
    but he might have put it in his pocket to give to either you or "my friend" later, ergo why he followed her
    Guys get busy, exhausted after making time for sex and really have no business in communications, some don't think well and etiquette these days is very rare

    I doubt sex could SO bad that he would avoid his naked giver of pleasure this way

  • He may be Embarrassed due to the "One night stand," And wants you to now Understand... No thank you, Ma'am.
    Move on from the jewelry Here, dear, He is not worth your own time to get a replica of what May even Be Better in some other "More Store."xx

    • Welcome to Gag Town and Best of Luck. xx

  • I think he is afraid you will want something more than the night you two spent together (something like a boyfriend-girlfriend thing). That's why he is probably avoiding you. T

    • Text him and say that you want nothing more than the one-night stand and that you only want your necklace back. See how he responds and act accordingly.

  • Concur with the others.. one night stand means one night only.. you are trying to make it into something he has zero interest in..

  • Yeah

  • That's why it's a one night stand. I'd just go and get my necklace, response or not.

  • Its a one night stand, you shouldn't expect a guy to think of you as anything beyond "one time F#ck"
    I'm sorry dear

  • Kinda the point of a one night stand love

  • Yeah that’s pretty normal.

    That’s the nature of a one night stand. You see each other for one night only. Then never see each other again. Sort of stops being “ONE NIGHT” if you keep in touch.

  • Yeah. It's a one night stand. He isn't interested in you in any way, because he got what he wants.
    One big reason to avoid one night stands.

  • Yes. Sadly before sex there can be a lot of attraction but after sex they want nothing to do with you. Said to me by my guy friends.

  • I don't know because I have never had one (nor want one). That said I would imagine that yes its probably normal, he wanted sex, you gave it to him, now he has no more reason to interact with you. He didn't want to be your friend, he didn't want to be an acquaintance, he just wanted to sate his sexual urges and you where available and willing to do so. As far as he is concerned you stopped existing once you left his place (in all likelihood). Live and learn.

  • It's almost as normal as it is for me not to answer..

  • I would not do that to a lady but I also would not have a ONS. I have done that many, many years ago (1983) but not since then. Why would you expect a guy to respect you after a ONS?

  • Guys feel awkward replying back or responding to girls after one night stands because they worry the girl will want a relationship.
