    So on a Friday, I played division 2 with a guy I spoke to from a dating app. After we finished playing that evening, he sent a text saying that we can play again tomorrow when he leaves work at 9 PM. We were kinda talking for a duration of the day yesterday and he asked if I wanna play with him when he gets home from work. And I said okay. He never logged in🙄. While I planned to play regardless, that’s bad etiquette to not follow up. Earlier this week, he would send a text and not respond for hours. I playfully said oh I guess you’re not interested and he said that he was, he has a tendency to forget to respond right away. Since then, he responds more promptly. I feel like no longer speaking to him.

    Hi Sarah,

    Yes, this guy showed bad etiquette in not logging in to play division 2 with you after asking you to do so.

    He really has no excuse in not logging in because he was the one who specifically asked you to play with him after he got home from work.

    On top of that, he never even followed up to either apologize or at least, let you know why he was unable to log in after he got home from work.

    He has also shown this kind of disregard in texting.

    Earlier this week, he would send a text and not respond to you for hours. Again, another show of blatant disregard and disrespect for your time.

    Even though, he told you that he has a tendency to forget to respond to texts right away, that really isn’t an excuse.

    You are someone that he met on a dating app of whom he is supposed to start getting to know. It is too early in your interaction for him to be forgetting to respond to texts in a timely manner. If he is this unmotivated, he might as well not have joined a dating app.

    Even though he may be responding more promptly to your texts now, since you playfully called him out on it by saying that you guess that he isn’t interested, his change of behavior most likely won’t persist.

    Once he gets comfortable, he will most likely start taking hours to respond to your texts again.

    All of his behavior so far, from not logging in to play division 2 with you when he said he would to taking hours to respond to your texts indicate that you are not interacting with someone who is going to take you seriously.

    If you are looking for a more respectful relationship, it may be best to stop talking to him altogether. His behavior so far has given you enough evidence of what to expect of him if he were to become a boyfriend.
