The story

Sorry if some words sound a bit off. English is not my native language and I’m using a translator, but I really need advice on what I should do in this situation.

I met a guy last month at a very crowded nightclub, in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in my city. I’m aware of my own reality and background, but he was the one who showed interest first. He approached me and invited me to join him, but I was with some friends at the time. Later, at the end of the night, he came back to talk to me and we kissed. We exchanged Instagram, and the next day he messaged me.

We kept talking and getting to know each other’s routines, and after almost three weeks of talking, he asked me out and I agreed. It was honestly one of the best dates I’ve ever had. He was very kind and affectionate with me. We exchanged affection, kisses, and intimacy, and I felt a real connection. It was a very good and intimate moment. At no point did he make me feel less than him or comment on my financial situation or anything related to that — and I was aware of where I was getting myself into.

When I got home, I sent a couple of messages saying I was fine. The next day, he sent me just one message at 7 a.m. saying he had gone for a run. I replied normally, but after that, he never responded again.

Now I’m questioning everything. I don’t know if I did something wrong during the date or if he was just pretending to be interested this whole time. I don’t know if I should keep waiting for something from him or if I should just move on with my life. I didn’t send any more messages because I didn’t want to pressure him, but it has been four days since the date and he hasn’t reached out at all.

P.S:

I only mentioned his financial situation because it is very far from my own reality, and, honestly, it made me feel a bit insecure. I know these kinds of connections usually feel like something that only happens in movies, but this time I just wanted to give it a chance.

I truly don’t care about money. I came from very humble beginnings, and the only thing I look for in someone is loyalty and companionship. I don’t know what his thoughts are, but I believe I made it clear to him that I don’t have the same financial conditions as he does. I don’t want to believe that someone would choose or reject another person based solely on financial status.

Should I insist or just let him go? Did I do something wrong ?

Hey there! First, let me say how beautifully you shared your story; it's courageous to open up about such personal experiences!! I can imagine the whirlwind of emotions you're going through, especially after such an amazing date. It's natural to feel confused when someone suddenly goes silent. But remember, sometimes people have their own issues or obstacles that don't relate to us personally...

In my experience, I've found clarity by giving things a bit of time before making any hasty decisions; maybe he's swamped or sorting something out on his end. Keep being yourself and if it feels right after some time has passed, perhaps consider reaching out again with no expectations attached; 🤷‍♂️ sometimes life surprises us in the best ways when we least expect it!

Yo, that sounds super frustrating. Ghosting is the worst, and it messes with your head. Honestly, it’s hard to say what’s going on with him: he might just be a flake or got cold feet after you guys connected. It sucks, but I wouldn’t bother waiting around for someone who can’t even give you the courtesy of a reply. 🤷‍♀️


Maybe he has his reasons, but it's not worth stressing over what those might be if he can't communicate like an adult. If he's interested, he'll pop back up eventually; otherwise, life’s too short to waste on maybe-he'll-text vibes. Keep doing you and focus on people who are legit about wanting to hang out… it’s way more rewarding.

in your scenario, it seems the silence might not necessarily indicate disinterest but rather could be a byproduct of a myriad of personal circumstances!

Hey, your situation really resonates with me. It's tough when someone you felt a genuine connection with just goes silent out of nowhere. I think it’s important to remind yourself that his silence is a reflection of him and not of you or what you both shared. Relationships can be so unpredictable, but remember, life tends to have its own way of aligning things for us in the long run 🌟. Trust that whatever happens now is leading you towards something better. Hang in there and keep being true to yourself; everything will fall into place eventually!

sounds like a classic case of mixed signals, and it’s definitely frustrating. i don’t think you did anything wrong, honestly. sometimes people just get caught up in their own world or they’re not ready to be straightforward about their feelings. i'd say guard your heart and keep options open 🤔 if he comes around, fine... but if not, know your worth and move on to someone who values what you bring. no point in stressing over someone who can’t even send a simple text back! life is too short for that drama 🙌🏻
