Hey everyone. So this guy I am dating FaceTimed me last Thursday. It was sweet, nothing too deep. We’ve went on one date before omicron hit, hence why we resorted to that one FaceTime recently. Usually he never lets more than 2 days go by without texting me first. He always initiates more between the two of us. He did ask me on that FaceTime once again how I preferred talking—whether through FaceTime or phone calls—to which I said face-to-face but since omicron is a thing I know it’s hard. I also said it’s difficult to FaceTime/call when my family is around a lot but we’ll have to see how that goes. Before this I have expressed that I’m not much of a texter and he’s aware of that.

We’ve been talking for 1.5 months now. After that Thursday he had work (he works in healthcare) for 3 days back-to-back (14th, 15th, 16th). I know this because he sent me his schedule for this month and the next. The conversation on Thursday after the FaceTime ended with his reply to something I said. Not something that I needed to further respond too. I haven’t heard from him since Thursday. I’m aware he’s off the 17th, 18th, 19th.

Where does FDS stand with messaging first when you’ve been talking for a while? Should I assume he’s ghosting and move on or should I drop a quick text asking if everything’s alright? Or some other rephrasing? Thank you!

Edit: Thank you to everyone who replied! Your perspectives are very helpful!
