Should I Message Him Again?

[CakeEmpress]

Hiya!

The guy I've been speaking to has not responded when he said he'd try his best to, to which I replied that it wasn't a problem. This was last Friday. We had spoken everyday for a couple of weeks before last week when he became super busy with work and life (kept saying he'd reply when he had time to, etc). I fully understand and I appreciate that he let me know. Today is Tuesday and I feel somewhat forgotten, especially because he said he would message me back after work and I know he's been online again. Yes, I am feeling petty as hell for being slightly annoyed.

I dislike people clinging on to me and pestering me and I do not want to do so in return. We're not in a relationship (the ball is in my court) however we have planned to meet at the end of the summer. I let him know that I am not looking for anything casual and he seemed to be on the same wavelength.

I feel so childish asking this but here goes! So, do I message him or not? Should I wait longer for him to get back to me on his own? And even then, what do I say? "Everything okay?" "Still alive?". I just think that it's weird how into me he seemed and then suddenly "forgets" to get back to me and I HATE overthinking things (which I am doing right now). If someone can't be bothered to get back to me at this early stage, is it even worth it? I'm probably just stressing for nothing...

Thanks for any advice!

If it were me, I'd wait until at least Friday, a week isn't pestering anybody. Send one more message, just a simple "Hey!" or something, then let it go. If he responds, great, but if after a few days, you still don't hear anything, it might be time to let this one go. Good luck.

I think I'll take your advice on this matter and wait until Friday (it was actually last Tuesday that we REALLY spoke). I spoke to a couple of friends and they told me not to message him again until HE was the one to respond. I just find this whole thing confusing because we really seemed to get along and I am not new to online friendships and relationships but this really made me scratch my head...
