    I’ve been seeing someone for a month now. We sent around 2000 emails in that time and then after the last time we met, we had a bit of a disagreement not about anything major. That’s when the emails lessened. In the last four days he’s only sent about five and he doesn’t respond to things I say like he usually does. He still puts kisses at the end of the emails and calls me babe. He emailed yesterday morning saying he had been ill with a stomach bug, and his daughter has it too. The night before he was busy at work. Am I reading too much into this? Is he still interested and not responding because he and his girl are ill? I don’t want to ask the question if that’s the case and ruin things. Advise would be good thanks

    Really only time will tell and there’s no point worrying.

    2000 emails in a month is a lot! Maybe he’s sick of typing? You know that’s not sustainable long term don’t you, so obviously he was going to pull back at some point.

    A lot of men that do full-on in like that aren’t really serious though. They blow really hot at the beginning, then cool off and start talking to someone else.

    Only time will tell but I would be keeping my options open at the moment.

    Deja vu

    I’ve met this guy and we’ve only known each other for a couple of weeks (not dating officially) but he basically stopped texting me over the end of the week. I got one text from him on Friday. I did notice but I didn’t do anything just replied to him as normal. He messaged me Saturday night and when I didn’t reply he texted again asking what I was doing. Picked up from there and he told me he had been sick over the end of the week and had been in bed with a cold.

    Just my observation – I think some guys definitely like being alone when they’re ill. My ex was almost the same but I would always smother him. If he’s not texting, let him be. I’m sure he’ll text you when he’s ready and in the right mind-set.

    Thanks for the advice. I think you’re right as he’s generally not the sort of guy to mess me about. We’ve got a date planned next week and he would definitely tell me if he wasn’t meeting me. I think it’s the illness to be honest and I’m stressing over nothing. Will keep you updated

    I feel your stress. I’ve been seeing and messaging a man daily from morning to night everyday for a month. While I get that it does fade over time, to go from that to one message a day for the last four days is starting to make me feel a tad unsettled. He doesn’t respond to texts like I miss you and thinking about you as he used to.in fact it’s been four days now since I’ve heard anything affectionate from him. He avoided the are we ok question. I found out he’s been ill with lysteria and so has his son so I’m wondering if that’s the reason for the lack of texts which is understandable to say the least. He still puts the kisses on his texts and he said this morning he is starting to feel better but had a crap night. Am I over thinking this? I say this because we had a small disagreement which was my fault and I’m wondering if is just coincidence. I trust him, i tell myself if there was an issue he’d say. I don’t bombard him with texts. I reply then I send a goodnight one and then he emails in the morning. One a day compared to many is a huge decrease however I guess maybe if he didn’t bother at all I should be more concerned.
    Help please??

    Update for you. It’s over and his silence was his way of ending it. Not much of a man if he can do that rather then just say. Thanks for your advice 😔

    So I have been speaking to a guy for the past 2 weeks (very new I know). He has been very keen for this time but the past 4 days he has been acting different and distant. It started with talking all day Friday, then Saturday only got a message at night (I was asleep) so replied Sunday morning. No reply to that. I text again Sunday evening asking how was his weekend and no reply again. Monday I waited and got no reply so when I saw he was online Monday night I messaged asking if he was ignoring me. He read that and ignored it. I then had a message Tuesday morning saying sorry he has been unwell and that’s all. I Basically replied a long message just saying that he is acting very distant and that i feel there is more to it and that if he wants to stop speaking etc then it’s okay to say just so I know where I stand. So he replied saying he really has been ill and that he hasn’t spoken to anyone really. So I waited until Wednesday to reply as I wanted to think about it as it doesn’t make sense to me lol. I said I hope he feels better soon and then to text me when he’s up to it and he replied saying ok babe. I thought that was very blunt so I tried making a joke saying are you better yet lol. No reply. It’s now Thursday and I have a feeling I have been too much but I feel I’ve given him opportunity to tell me that he doesn’t want to hear from me etc. HELP as it doesn’t make sense to me but I can’t message him anymore as I rarely get a reply.

    Have you met yet?

    Ok

    If a person isn’t reaching out or responding, it’s kinda silly to ask if he’s ignoring you. Of course he is. You just can’t take the hint. He could be sick or he could have just lost interest. It’s such a waste of time to keep chatting with people you haven’t even met or dated. Many guys will chat you up because of boredom, it’s something to do, but have no intention of a relationship. Many are married or have girlfriends. He could have found someone else to chat with. Who knows. But the point is, let the man lead. If he pulls back or stops then just move on.this is the nature of meeting guys online.

    It’s a “Man Cold”. Get used to him turning into a huge baby when he gets sick.

    If i’m sick I want to be left alone. Nothing worse than a women bothering the heck out of you when you want to roll up in a ball and die. Lol.

    No you can’t make it better, no you can’t help. Leave me be!

    I’ve been dating a guy for almost a year. He is very nice, always try to make me happy. But when he so tired or sick (fever), he will sleep for A DAY!! He will ignores my texts and calls. I am not very happy to deal with this situation. He knows it too! When he contacted me back, he will say sorry and try to comfort me back. But he will repeat it all again!! Now he just came back from outstation (work) and he called me before he sleep saying he flu and maybe need rest. I said i wont disturb him. But ysterday my car broke and i have no one other than him. I called him so many times but he didnt pick up. This morning he called me saying sorry he still flu until today but i scolded him. Then he ignores my texts and calls until now. I have said sorry for my harsh words. But he still ignores me. I didnt know he sleeping or annoying with me. But what should i do now? I feel guilty for what i did to him 🙁

    He still doesnt contact me until now. Because we always communicate at least once a day. I cannot stop thinking to keep call him. But i afraid i just make him annoyed with me. Last text i send this evening saying that if you feel better, contact me. I’ll wait you. Get well soon. But still no reply and text. Is he still upset after i scolded him this morning? Complicated!!

    I met this guy 2 weeks ago. We are attracted to each other. We had amazing sex twice. He is into Dom/Sub relationship. He sent me messages on how much he is attracted to me, what he will do to me sexually, etc. All of a sudden, he didnt text me, told me he has to cancel our time together this day because he is sick. What do I do. I love the sex. He just told me a in the wee hours of the morning Friday , that he couldnt skeep vecayse he was thinking of me. That night he tells me he is sick and cant see me on Sat. I am scared, devastated. Does he not like me anymore. What happened

    In my opinion, the balance for to show you care and also give someone space is very similar to how you would advise a friend.

    Ask them ONCE if they’re okay and if they need anything.
    Expect that they will answer in their own time and terms.
    When they finally answer, they don’t say they need anything, and it’s curt, leave it at “aww, good/sorry to hear! Let me know if there’s anything you need.”
    Then you leave the ball in their court to come to you in their own way.

    You’re making the effort to communicate and not smothering them. Haha this is how I treat animals and babies.

    Mod update: Hi Farhin – Thanks for sharing!

    This thread was originally started a long time ago by someone else, and that can cause confusion for our community members who would like to respond, because it’s not always clear who is responding to whom. So, I’m going to go ahead and close-out this topic. You are welcome to start a fresh new thread in this forum, though. It’s fine if you just want to copy-and-paste everything from this post.

    I realize that several other people added their own stories to this thread over a long period of time, so you’re not alone in doing this! It’s just that I’m making an effort to help keep our topics fresh these days.

    For anyone else who has arrived in this conversation thread and feels like it’s a good topic to talk about, you are most welcome to start a new fresh thread. Cheers!
