Second with him was great, 6.5 hours we had dinner, he paid and I offered to go dutch and he said I can pay next time. Then we went to a coffee shop and I let him paid as I already planned on paying for next date. He held my hand on the street as we stroll along. I asked him what are his plans for the weekend. He told me he was meant to go away with friends, but he really wants to see me and if he leaves it for too long I would forget him and thinks he is not serious.

He gave me a lift home and we talked in his car while holding hands. he said he won't try to kiss me this time and will let me kiss him when I want to. I gave him a peck on his cheek.

I invited him to an event as third date, he put it on calendar immediately. I said you want the address? He said we will keep talking until then. He asked me to text him. He wanted to see some of the videos of what I mentioned before. I told him I need to finish editing it first. he then said he wants to see what my pillw looks like I said alright i will take a pic.

He probably was expecting me to send it right away.. i didn't do that until 20 hrs later as I was thinking better to finish editing my videos and send both together.. meanwhile he unfollowed me... I never followed him as I never got the notification... i only saw it when i visited his...

He replied my text but I really dunno what to take out of his unfollow ...

@victoriagemini we met on a dating website.

I didn't realize he followed me as I was flooded with notifications. I only noticed when I went through my own follower list.

I wasn't sure if I should follow back as the name he uses is different and I could only tell it's his from some of the photos.

I showed him photos on Instagram on second date to see if he would mention I'm now following you, but nope.

He just unfollow and I'm not sure of the reason.

We met on a dating website

oops I meant my Pillow!

I'm a Virgo.

I'm from Europe. Are you American?

He didn't disappear on me, we are communicating via text. During the date I mentioned to him I didn't think I would see him again as he didn't reply once and I thought he was simply being polite to say he wants to see me again on text. He said that's not the case and looked through his phone and saw he didn't and apologized to me may times.

He then admit he is going through a lot of stress and how it is affecting him. Third date event I'm inviting him to is related to stress management

So because he unfollowed you, areu never going to call him again because you feel rejected via social media?

We are still communicating via text, and I will see him again in couple of days

I'm more interested in the reason behind the unfollow.

oh okay, well i think you need to chill out. i don't like fb'ing or anything with the people i date, cause i start stalking, and obsessing and i don't like those traits

I never followed his instagram, he was following me. You mean he started stalking that's why he unfollowed me?

that's a passive aggressive move, so is the not cementing the 3rd date.

he's doing a ghost

I guess time will tell if he is going to turn up.

also why did he keep asking me to text him? and when I didn't text as quickly he unfollow?

well that could be the reason too, you know we're emotional, sometimes we run with that...rejection is our ultimate FEAR

click to expand

yes i do know you guys are sensitive and emotional, which is what I like about you guys.

Yesterday I texted him and he wrote back saying he love what I sent him, asked about my afternoon.

I sensed some hurt feelings there, so as soon as I'm home I wrote him before I go to bed. 2 texts in one day is not my style, I was hoping it would give him some reassurance...

I meant I brought my phone out and show him photos on my instagram, I didn't ask if he was following. I think most people would say yes I saw those photos and i'm already following you

Hmm, well if he is still communicating with you and you plan for a 3rd date, just ignore the Instagram unfollow and see what happens when you meet up with him again. I'd be more worried if he stopped communicating and also unfollowed on Instagram. There could be many reasons for the unfollow but don't let it worry you.

Yes, I am from America. I was worried we had met the same Cancer guy (!) as the date you described was exactly like my date with my cancer guy, lol.

I guess Cancer guys have similar maneuvers and reaction.

@sensitiveblues @hollyhock

Yes we agree on going to that event together, he already put it onto his calendar, I said don't you want the address? he goes we will keep talking you text me. He asked me to text him many times during second date...

Time will tell if he will ghost, so far his action proves that he won't. I mentioned he should try my cooking on the day we agree to meet. I din't mean dinner at my place but I meant I will bring him something I'm going to make on the weekend. Small treat.. hope that doens't scare him

@arielle83

Yes I wish I was more upfront. I felt guilty for missing the notification and didn't follow back right away. That's why I brought it up this way...

Our date went really well, he told me how much he enjoys spending time with me, and he loves our communications in between. He said no one ever writes to him the way I do. I'm not sure what it means but it's gotta be something good LOL

@vixen2
He got my info before he followed me on instagram, it confused me when he unfollowed but stil responds to text. I was going to wait for him to text first but since he asked many times to text him so I did.

Baked goods (brownies, cookies) go a long way.

From what you are explaining, he seems interested.

By only texting once or twice a day and doing "You"- that helps things develop at a good pace.

did you read my mind? I did some baking and I told him about it.

then I told him someting else on text but at the end I said may be you should sample my cooking on third date (at the event)

I guess he will know I meant to bring him my baking? i didn't mean for him to come to my place.. as he knows we are goign to this event.

Follow him on instagram.
It's no big deal, he'll probably follow right back.
Why stress so much over social media. It's not important.

I should have followed when he was following, I'm not a follower collecter, I'm stress because I was wondering if I have hurt him or something a long the line

Oh and keep offering to pay. He'll let you but in the long run you'll gain so much more respect from him he will take care of you.

I intended to do so as that was our convo.

we probably won't have time to eat at third date as it was to an event. I'm bringing him some baking.

If there is fourth date i will pay.

We cancerian are a clingy & sensitive person. If ur not following, he thinks you don't like him. And if you reply his text late, it makes him thinks in negative way. Bcoz we cancerian never stop thinking about anything. But if he still contact you, he want to check if he still have a chance

Ok you're good. Show up with the baked goods and you will be fine!!! Never mind him not responding to texts and blocking or deleting you from social media. That doesn't matter. Youre are doing good A+++

The only thing is he didn't get the address of the event. He locked it in his calendar when I asked don't you need address. He said we will keep talking until then. Text me.

Could be more things for me to text him? He kept asking me to text him that night.

Offer something monetary always. He'll take it so make sure its within your abilities, however he WILL pay you back. 10 times more. Financially, emotionally, educationally, harshly, sympathetically, explanatory, insecurely. Basically in every way. Just ride the wave!!!

When I said it's interesting it was just what it is. No hiddne meaning there, as it never occurs to me that I have to "buy" his love. I'm not the kind of person who expect men to pay all the time as I do enjoy reciprocating.

I haven't text him the address yet as There's still couple of days until the actual event. I probably will give him the address after he replies to my latest message ....

Oh I didnt take you saying interesting any kind of way. Interesting blah blah blah like
You say interesting ... Let me tell you why.

Ellipses vs blah blah blah can make a big difference in text. My bad.

But yeah you're on the right track... Liking to reciprocate that's great!

@listenlearnteach I think most men take pride on being the provider, however it's always good to reciprocate to balance the book, or else one side can really feel used and not feeling the appreciation.

He still hasn't reply, makes me wonder if he was telling the truth when he said he declined a weekend away invite just because he wanted to go on second date with me...
