So just writing this out I know it's hopeless but I feel like I could use someone to tell me if there's anything I can do to salvage this situation.
I met a guy I really liked, we are in the same large but small community (similar to acting, most people are probably within about 2-3 degrees of separation.
At an event last week Monday, we "met" officially for the first time even though we've seen each other around for a few years, I flirted with him and he kissed me, we spent the night at my place but didn't have sex, just kissed and cuddled. (I know it's bad to invite over right away but I was drunk.) He asked for my number in the morning.
No text from him for a while, until I posted a picture of myself looking good on social media. He texted me literally seconds later after liking the post. We traded a few messages, and then Wednesday night he messages me around 10 saying he's near my apartment, can he come over? I said OK, since I figured he'd already been over, but when he got there I insisted no sex tonight, if he wanted that I needed more than 15 minutes notice.
He said OK yeah let's go out somewhere, he suggested [romantic spot in our city], and asked if I was free tomorrow night (Thursday). I said no but I could do Sunday, he said he would let me know. In the morning I made a really nice breakfast, I thought he had a nice time, we both had work to do so he left soon after breakfast. We traded some more casual texts over the next two days like how are you, etc., he was responsive to those.
This is a really busy hectic week for me, Friday night I was stressing out and ended up texting him really late at night that I actually couldn't hang out Sunday even if he could, since I had to catch up on work and laundry, but I was free any other night this week after about 9 or 10 pm and he should let me know if he was free. He hasn't responded, so far it's been about two days.
He's been very active on social media and has seen my Instagram stories so I know he's seen the text and is ignoring it. I feel like it's over but I'm just wondering if I should give him a chance if he messages me back within the next 24 hours. I think there's a chance he saw the message late and was too tired to answer at that moment then just forgot about it. In retrospect I made quite a lot of mistakes overall and I feel like an idiot.
Is there anything I can do to pick myself up from this situation other than diving back into my hobbies and work and friends? I have a quite attractive FWB who treats me really well and I just got a man's number last night so I'm not hurting for male attention, I just feel like the world's biggest moron for being so easy with him and it's got me a little bummed.
