He said it wasn't because of the no sex in the comments somewhere, I believe.
So he's actually not looking for a relationship, he's looking for someone to bang. He can be an arse and just stop talking to her and disappear or whatever then. They probably both would be better off. Hopefully, she gets the hint but if she is ballsy and says something then he can address it at that time. Just my 2 cents.

Don't be a coward and text


Maybe I'm in the minority, but someone as unserious as that, I don't need a call. Just puts me left with a really awkward response. I'm okay with a text.


I agree it is early enough it doesn't require a call, but don't just go silent that is really rude and leaves the other person wondering. If she is really into you it is going to hurt, but better to "rip the bandaid off" instead of making her wonder why she hasn't heard from you for a while and eventually knows you were too scared to say you're not into it.

It does sort of depend on the woman and/or the relationship you have


For sure. 4 dates with one person might be still barely knowing one another, 4 dates with another person might be to a level where you're both really into each other.

Ive had plenty friends who talk about how much they like a guy they've only been a couple dates on.


There have definitely been times I'm on cloud 9 pretty early in with a guy, but usually that's because we have amazing dates and then text all day/night out of the excitement of it all and getting to know one another.

I find it's pretty easy to tell if someone is enthusiastic about you like you are about them. If someone isn't communicating with me and giving me vibes where I feel they are truly excited about me, I probably won't let myself feel much for them either.

absolutely not. There is a time and place for sluts, however.


His words not mine. I figured he was looking more for someone mainly for sex than a someone to get into a relationship with. Just how I read it.

I think he was just saying there's nothing wrong with sluts, and there's a time and place for that. But that's not what he was expecting this girl to be; he just isn't into her as a whole.

Disinterest. I actually like the slow-play.

If I sleep with someone real early on, I tend to get severe PCS.

Post-coital Syndrome. It's real

I just think a phone call is a sign of respect.


It is, and it also brings closure. Flip side, she just might tell you why she is not ready to take the relationship to the physical level.

However, the best thing to do is just make the phone call, be gracious, tell her that you are planning on seeing other folks, do the friendzone thing, and wish her well.

REMEMBER, the toes you stomp on today may well be attached to the arse you have to kiss tomorrow.

Texting is just chickenshit and not very adult.

Okay. You cleared it up. I was just wondering why he brought up the no sex thing in the OP. I didn't know if it was because that's what he was looking for or if it changed how he should handle the situation.

That case, I would just send her a text. Something brief, nice and to the point.

Probably just to give background as to how serious/not serious it was, I assume.

Agree.

I understand the anti-texters, but hey.. if that's the main way y'all communicate anyway, a call would be out of the ordinary.

Okay. Thanks.

Yeah, just shoot her a text. I think that's appropriate given the circumstances. Good luck.

You never know here. That's why I asked. And his other comment in the thread made me think that's what he was looking for. Just needed some clarification before I formed an actual opinion.

A call would make me uncomfortable. "oh, okay then, ummm, thanks...guess I'll see you around...or something....bye" Text is just a text and kinda takes the emotion out of it.

Here's how the text would go:


Him: Hey, let's not go on dates because after 4 there was no coitus.

Her: Too bad. My rule is after 5 you get me and my roommate in a 3-way.

Him: Ha Ha, Just Kidding, let's go out tonight.

Her: Too late. Let's just be friends?
