Gosh, I'm torn....
On one hand, 5 days is a LONG time..... I mean, you guys were dating for how long again???
But on the OTHER hand... Idk.... I have always heard from men AND women that once men have "caught" you, they usually draw back a little bit (either now because they're no longer in the "hunter" mentality, OR because they feel like they can ease up and relax a little bit now that they know you are also on the same page).... It's just natural. I don't think ANY man continues on pursuing a woman with the SAME intensity he did when he was first trying to get you.
I'm not saying he should be lazy, but to expect the SAME type/level of intensity and contact as he was doing in the beginning??
I think that's somewhat unrealistic.
erplexed
WITH THAT SAID HOWEVER....... I DO feel that 5 days IS quite a long time to go with not even a text hello or "how was your day today?" That's no bueno.
Not only that, but it's kind of rude.
I think the no contact idea is good....Or, maybe just respond REALLY REALLY late (maybe a day or two later) and say: "Oh boy, I've been so busy lately! Hope you're doing well!" and leave it like that.
TRUST me... a man who is
REALLY into you will immediately get back on his "A-Game" and will contact you a little more frequently because in HIS mind he's wondering if maybe you've gotten "bored" and have entertained the interest of other men.
Make sure to mention that you've been "oh so busy" and see what he does/says....
He's no dummy lol.
But if he's really not interested, he'll be perfectly OKAY with you being "busy" and won't even wonder what you've been up to.
erplexed If
that happens, and MORE time goes by in between contact, DON'T contact him....
And if he DOES try to contact you, just say: "Hey, you know I'm thinking that this isn't really working out. I think maybe we want different things out of a relationship, so I think it's best if we go our separate ways...."
