I would not even talk to a man after this. He changed his behaviour immediately after sex to no contact.
He expects you to contact him and initiate. Do not. And when he finally contacts you, do not be easy and available. You will be setting yourself up for a bi-weekly booty call.
LinaIm in a state of mind when i think i will never ever hear about him if i dont initiate contact. But i cant because my last message which he didnt respond : too bad i was about to send you my outfit for tonight ;). Will be even more pathetic if i text him again i will sound desperate and like im chasing him . What should i do what should i say ?
John De GreatDo you really like him, am not saying love?
Because love grows with time and it depend on what you want in the relationship.
He pulling back should give you room to improve on yourself to make you a better person with a wide perception about men and behavior.LinaI would never expect this to stop brutally without explanation im kinda shock i dont know where to stand and what to think its like my only option to not make it worse is to just wait but the more i wait days become a week im scared it becomes another week then a month. I just cant its like torture to me
LaneThis happens a lot! Majority of the 4,000 posts are based on your experience. It’s so common I’m amazed at your age it’s never ever once happened to you!
At this point there is literally nothing you can do or say to change his mind. Sexting, Convincing, groveling or begging will work against you. Have you bought ANY of the books I recommmded? Use this time to read and read and read so you can do it differently next time.
TallspicyLina,
Some things to consider in the future.
a. When he reached out to you after you did not text him, it was a perfect time to be playful and warm and appreciative.
“Thanks for checking in, I am sorry! I accidentally fell asleep, I was pretty tuckered out for all the trouble we got into ;-)” – do you see how that is more engaging? He might have been cold because you were cold.
Also, you essentially asked him out and pretty late at night. This positions you as booty call. I will not shame you for having sex or sexting. However, you do need to mix it up. And you need to let him lead – especially after the first sex. Your content was very sexual and it was forward. You should be letting him doing the asking.
I am sorry he has not reached out again. I bet he will when he is horny as well – make sure he takes you out for dinner if that happens. Then turn it around by being sexy and a lady. Men want both – not just one. A freak in the sheets and a lady in the street.
LinaI was cool that day i asked if he sleeped well? And said me too like a baby with lots of good memories on my mind. And when i mention to do it again it was 5pm ! In my mind im like ok he didnt replied cause he was with another girl doing the same evening as we did yesterday and they bonded so much he realize he liked her more and now then its her he’s texting all day thats why i have no news… thats what runs through my mind all day.
LaneYou are really intense! I get the feeling he’s thinking the same thing. Really need to calm down and refocus all this negative energy on something else, like reading?
LinaHow could you stay calm when the men you spent 3 to 4 evenings per day during 3 months vanished after sex for a full week how ? Im like maybe he hated my naked body and all those nasty things
PhillygirlI think you need to take your power back and stop dwelling on this guy. Let’s say he is having fun with another girl (it’s a distinct possibility)….there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing but worry.
Often times, relationships that get sexual very fast with little or no other attempts to get to know one another are never going to move beyond that.
Many men will assume if you are ok getting intimate with them early on, you do the same with other guys.
This guy sounds like he’s not ready to settle down in any way, and wants to have a good time. I would assume that means with many other girls, as well.
I’d take the focus off of him and focus on myself. Doing things I like with people I want to be around.
I never stop living like a single girl, until a guy who shows himself worthy asks me to take myself off the market. And that means he has to be a decent and good person too.
My time is valuable. I won’t waste others’ time, they don’t get to waste or appropriate mine. That includes my headspace.
You need to distract yourself so you don’t start obsessing. He needs to earn your attention.
That is how a secure woman views her time. As precious. I don’t mean be self absorbed, but confident.
LinaIf i write to him what can i write him to make less damages ?
HannahYou already wrote to him and he didn’t reply. Remember no response is a response. It’s telling you loud and clear he doesn’t want to talk you to.
Why would you want to talk to a man who has treated you so badly? He ghosted you after sex. He’s not nice and he’s not reliable.
LinaSo i cant say nothing?
SammyI think you should message him one last time.
And yes you should ask if things have changed because you guys had sex. If he is gonna go, he is gonna go regardless so might as well just get it over done with it
TallspicyOk. Here is the deal.
I do not think you should reach out at all. Men after sex show their true colors. I have had men send me flowers after and other men disappear. But it is their job to lead.
If you reach out, you are essentially saying – if you don’t do the work, I will. Bad way to be in a relationship. Not because you should not be doing the work, but because you BOTH should be doing the work. When one drops out, it is your cue to drop out too.
And I believe if you send a text asking why things changed after sex, you are asking for a non-response or a lie.
HIS ACTIONS ARE SHOWING YOU WHAT LEVEL OF PRIORITY YOU ARE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK HIM.
If you reach out – just do something very warm and playful (not sexual) as a check in. But I still advise against it.
TallspicyTHE ONLY WAY TO TURN THIS AROUND IS TO STAY SILENT.
Lina@tallspicy do you really think i can change things remaining silent? Cause i feel the more time flies the more he forgets me or is used to not talk to me anymore…. and if there is another girl (i felt it when he send he was eating with a friend then go silent when i talk about sending him a pic of my outfit maybe he was scared the pic appeared on his phone and the girl will see it) he will forgot me at all
anonLina,
I think he did you wrong, and was a jerk. Yeah, you could have played the game differently. But that’s in the past.Do you really want to hitch your wagon- your future, your future home, kids, life to a guy who decided that after he slept with you, and you were a little coy on one email, decided to go silent for a week (at least).
He either massively overreacted to a minor game on you end OR he shuts down when faced with confusion. Neither of which bodes well for a future. He’s treating you like a very casual hook up. You aren’t worth anything to him, don’t make him worth anything to you.
PhillygirlThe only thing you can really change or influence is: how you think, react, and behave.
The real issue here is that you are tying too much to this one man.
If your self esteem was where it needed to be, and you had a full life, this would still be a bummer, but no so all consuming.
You need to leave him alone and work on you, that is where healing lies.
I would never allow someone who is rude or disrespectful in my life. If you are done with me, I will take the necessary time to lick my wounds and MOVE ON.
You are trying to chase after someone who is showing you how little they think of you. Please STOP! Do what you need to do to take care of YOU. He is not someone you should allow in your life, if this is how he treats you. PERIOD!!
Tallspicy and others gave very good advice. When we chase after someone who does not treat us well (or allow them back) we are saying (in every way that matters) that we don’t respect or value ourselves enough to stand up and require proper treatment.
That’s a great example of a very bad idea of how to function in relationships.
Please forget this guy, and learn the art of loving yourself enough that people like this are not allowed to appropriate so much of your attention.
ThabisoGreat answer. I do that too
AbioIt seems as much that you’re a groupie, being all over a man is seriously unattractive.
Your grammar as well might be the reason why this guy doesn’t want to commit himself into a relationship with you.
By the way, I don’t buy into the story that you cuddled for 2 hours,…you’re a groupie, you jumped at 1st instance and bo man wishes to be stuck with an easy pie.
My advice to you, Sex is not an issue here. Try be attractive without involving physical contact and have some dignity, stop selling yourself cheap.
LinaDear Abio to your information about my grammar i should have inform you that i am french and living in France too. English is not my first language i learned it 2 years ago.
Since its a forum and we are all inconito whats the point for me to lie about the fact that we cuddled ?
Davidu are just too cheap with no confidence plus low self esteem.with ur style, u can’t get a lasting relationship, and if u do, u will be leaving in bondage. I pity u! pls read ‘what to do until love finds you’ by Michelle Hammond. it’s the best book that can help u out.
anonI think some people are really mean here.
If I give the benefit of the doubt and she dated this guy for 3 months with no sex and got pushed away after sex that’s very wrong on behalf of the man.
I read a lot of the responses and they sound like “you asked for it”.Men give positive reinforcement for acting sexy in their pursuit. He probably gave her positive reinforcement for being sexy for 3 months, then in a rude manner rejects her post sex at probably the most vulnerable time in a relationship for a woman .
I mean hats off to all the ice queens who withhold sex until marriage. And to Lina, you can’t fix men. You got a jerk. You now know.
The funny part is that she can get back out there and date and be less sexy and now get rejected by jerks that think she is too cold.
redcurleysueThis man made you feel special and then bailed after sex. Shame on him. I am sorry this happened to you.
Here is the lesson of the story. Men see women as sexual first and a partner later. In reality we are people first and sexual when we are romantic.
Men have to reach into their heart to see a woman as a person. Early on if you talk sex you may never get to his heart. You set the pace, you do not talk sex until you have his heart.
Once a man thinks sex, sex, sex and you encourage that you may not escape this sex label. You want a man to see you as more than that…much more. And yes, they will come at you from that angle early on…it is up to you not to encourage that until you see his real motives.
Again, I am sorry.
