We’ve all had it happen: you go out on a date with someone, things go exceptionally well, and then you never hear from them again.
What went wrong? Depending on how you view the world (and the date), it could go a few different ways:
- Maybe he/she got into a car accident on the way home? I should send them an email to make sure all is well.
- Wow, I really liked him/her. I can’t wait to talk to them again! Hm, its been three days? I should check their Facebook status and see what’s going on.
- I can’t believe he/she didn’t get in touch with me yet. I sent them lots of emails/called several times/stopped by their work. Why are they ignoring me? Maybe I’ll send another email just to be sure they got the other ones.
- Ah, it happens. Maybe they were just grinning and bearing it and I was too focused on myself to notice.
- Hm. They weren’t interested? Surprising, they seemed really into me at the time. Ah well, maybe there’s something else going on that I don’t know about.
- Thanks for sparing me the heartache and time, wondering what if? Now I know, and I can invest my time in other folks who are either really are into me, or who are more polite to let me know they aren’t interested.
Of course, there are other possible variations – as many as there are people. So, you tell me. What’s a *good* reason for disappearing after a date? When is it okay? And in turn, when is it not? Has someone ever disappeared after a date with you? What happened, and why do you think it went down that way?
