I met a guy at the beginning for December (it is now January). We exchanged number and met up for 2 dates. These dates went well and we both really enjoyed ourselves. He does not send masses of texts, he seems to only send texts to me when he has something to say/ ask rather than just 'chit chatting'. This is fine by me. He is always polite and seems to be interested in what I am doing. He usually responds to my texts in a timely manner. When he didn't contact me for a few days, he rang me up to apologise and explained that his friend had taken his phone with him whilst he was away for a few days. Fair enough I believe him, he hasn't given me any reason to doubt him.

My point is that we had arranged to meet up over the weekend. He plays rugby and had a rugby game- we agreed to meet up after this- specifically I would pick him up after the game. He text me on the day of our arrangement and told me that he would have to hang around a bit after the game but that he would text me after the game. He didn't. In fact it has been 2 days now and he has not contacted me. I sent him a light hearted message about 10pm on the evening we had arranged to meet explaining that I was disappointed that he hadn't text me, but that I hoped he was having a good night anyway. I did not have a go at him or get cross, I just let him know I was a bit disappointed and that I had been looking forward to seeing him.

Should I contact him?

As an additional note- I don't know him very well as we have only met a few times, but this seems out of character in as much as I know him. He kept to the arrangements we made when we went on our dates, and like I said he always replies to my messages in a timely manner. He picks up the phone if I call him and he has called me.

So it just seems a bit strange to me. But men are strange I guess!

Advice would be much appreciated.

I would say it's hard to say what's going on --- I would say try to move on for now. I do know that some guys move slower than others, and it could be a timing thing. Do you guys have great chemistry together? How old are you/he?

Best thing would be to move on yourself and do your thing --- nothing wrong with texting or calling him now and then but if you don't see him making you a priority it means he isn't fully interested at this time... perhaps in the future he would be but probably not if you try to force it AT ALL...

Hope this helps! :)
