Got asked out on a date. After I agreed he ghosted. It’s been 3 weeks and he just texted “Hey, sorry for the delay. I’m down to hang out anytime.” Is it even worth replying?

It takes 10 secs to send a message and say, “Hey, I’m really busy right now. I’ll get back to you when things settle down.” If he doesn’t respect your time, he doesn’t respect you. People are too forgiving on the lack of common manners. Move on.

He probably had someone else in the works and it fell through. Either give him a final chance or don’t- go with your gut. These days weeks fly by so 3 weeks isn’t even that bad lok

And def don’t ask him what happened to him the last 3 weeks.

Nope. Go about your life

Did he say what the delay was? And were you talking for awhile before he ghosted? At first blush, I’d say forget about him but honestly I remember a period of time when I had weeks filled with motions, deadlines, interviews for a new job..all while also moving to a new apartment and I didn’t respond to a guy I had planned to meet up with. He was pretty understanding about it after I explained what was going on and that I was still interested, just had a crazy hectic couple weeks. Maybe he has a good reason. With the pandemic throwing everyone for a loop plus the holidays, I wouldn’t be too skeptical just yet.

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)
