Three days later he texted me asking how my trip was (which was quite unusual as my father fell on the ski site and was taking to the hospital by trauma helicopter) I texted him about the situation (my father was ok in the end) and he was worried. Thoughts? He gave me his number, we started texting in whatsapp and then he found my facebook profile. He said he had a good time,I did too.. You are right to see his willingness to attach so soon as a red flag.- Bp. Bp. We keep talking and he suggests another date at the end of the first. Or should I trust what he is saying?

I like the advice to only see him once per week for the first 6 weeks and dont have sex for the first month. But then I worry that because of the amount of texts hes sent (and hes obviously built this to be more than it currently is which is at this moment in time, one date!) Hes 4 hours away and comes to town every 2nd weekend to spend with his kids. He wanted to meet up about a month ago but I had plans already.

When you stop texting to see what he does, you have nothing to lose. To be honest, there's only one thing you should do when a guy is treating you like crap and hasn't texted you in days or even weeks: delete his number and walk away. Best to you. I havent really texted her since I havent heard from her . (He kept having very legit excuses like work has been hectic and unpredictable so he couldnt get together).
