Odds against

[BL42]

I think the point of limiting texts and not suggesting several dates a week right out of the gate is prevent the guy from being overly pursuant which many can have a tendency to go with a woman they like and are excited about whereas the woman often needs more time to warm up than the man and can get turned off because it comes off as needy and "too much too soon". This is actually a take away I've gotten from several female posters' comments on their own threads.

But I'm guessing it's like the Pirates of the Caribbean quote "The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules...".

That said, no response in 24 hours these days seems a bit rude if it's a regular occurrence. The vast majority of folks are seeing/checking their phone all throughout the day so not saying he needs to get back to you within the minute but at least same day is a pretty reasonable expectation.

I like that you made plans when he didn’t contact you in time. That’s teaching him how to treat you and if he cares, he will adjust his behaviour.

Yeah G - good job on making other plans when he neglected to nail down a date. People will treat you the way you teach them to treat you sometimes, and if you teach them it’s ok to wait until the last minute, that’s what some guys will do.

Agreed. Don't wait on someone who isn't getting back to you...especially this soon.

BL- you just made me laugh. I might be able to look past the orange monster that nightmares are made of ……

Ginger - I'm going to buy you a Gritty stuffy you can sleep with; it'll turn those nightmares into sweet orange dreams...
