Is it normal for a guy not to text back after a one night stand?

A few nights ago I had a one night stand with a guy my friend and I met that night. I texted him the next day asking if I could come over to pick up my necklace that I left at his place. He didn’t respond to me but he read the text. My friend and I also followed him on Instagram the same day but he only followed her back. Why would he not respond to me or follow me back?

  • Fuck him and leave

  • He is definitely a fuckboy just block him

  • If he’s not interested in ever seeing you again then yes.

  • ONS = No call needed or expected.

    If you wanted more, possibly have a friends with benefits relationship, you should have said that before hooking up or not hook up on the first date at all.

    If he knew you were down for sex on the first date he might have lost interest in you for anything more than that.

  • You seriously think the type of person who has one night stands will want anything more then that?

  • ptetty much expected i would think. ons = a single event. friends with benefits = buddies who fuck.

  • People, she wasn't friends with the guy, she said she and her friend met the guy that night!

  • I don't want to be accusatory but did you by any chance purposely leave the necklace there?

    And yes, it's normal. Your role is purely sexual in nature - not to be a text buddy.

  • Unfortunately, it is normal. That's why I don't do one-night stands.

  • You were a one night stand!

  • It is normal, you gave it up too easy now he will be on to something more challenging like your friend. The sex could have been great, that isn't the deciding factor. If a girl is too easy for me I would assume she is a bit easy for everyone else and that is a bad idea to have in your head for a long term trusting relationship so he is probably avoiding you in the hopes you move on, and probably thinks you left the necklace as an excuse to meet again.

  • He owes you nothing at all so it's perfectly normal. No need to waste money for the provider.

    • But not responding to your necklace request was stupid tho

  • If it's a one night stand then usually contact is kept to the minimum or none at all because of emotional involvement. You might not be but he might fear you want more, ask your friend to get your necklace, don't go to his house, meet on neutral grounds.

  • Performance anxiety? Honestly, how did he rate?

  • Yeah he’s feeling “some type of way about it” meaning he has feelings or thought it was a mistake or immature and can’t deal

  • ONE NIGHT STAND O N E N I G H T

  • Wow that's just rude for him to not make it possible for you to get your necklace back. Has he gotten back to you yet?

  • It depends on the guy. I wouldn't say "normal" but it's not uncommon. This guy I'm guessing wanted sex and absolutely nothing else. He doesn't want to lead you on in any way so he's ignoring you. I personally, no matter how I felt, couldn't do this, just ignore you completely, but lots of guys have no problem with it. In my opinion, he should just tell you how he feels, but this way is "easier". A lot of people just take the easy way out. Just ignore and hope it goes away kind of thing.

  • Yeah. "*one* night stand"

  • Yeah unfortunately it is
