If you haven't seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory lately, Slugworth is the guy who secretly approaches every golden ticket winner and whispers something in his or her ear. You find out near the end that this man asked each winner to get him an Everlasting Gobstopper, and is really working for Mr. Wonka and is just posing as a spy.
Sometimes, I feel like I have a Slugworth following me around, whispering in the ear of every guy I meet, telling him some awful secret about me to chase him off. I pretty much expect it at this point.
I know it's only Wednesday, but not hearing from the guy I met last week is irritating me. I don't know why, but I really thought this one was different. He seemed genuinely interested. He responded to me when I texted him first, but that's it. I'm just going to keep telling myself that it's not all about me. His son started back to school today and he'd been gone for a couple of weeks. Still...I really wanna catch my Slugworth!

I feel like I've made all the contact, although it hasn't been much. I would rather call at this point, but I have six (SIX!) people coming to my house tonight (and today is my first day back to school) and one of them is my mother. Even if I went outside and talked on the porch, my mom would either follow me out there or give me the shakedown on who I was talking to. I keep thinking- he has a kid, and I don't want to interrupt him if he's spending time with his son. I will contact him, though, if I don't hear from him. I'm really tired of men just disappearing like this, and not giving me a chance. He could just be doing that stupid three day rule thing that men do. Who knows.
I hear the not calling thing is an epidemic as of late. I wouldn't know, personally, but we do see quite a lot of posts on here about ghosters or those who never follow through.
I still don't think it's a hopeless situation. I just think one will have to weed through several chocolate bars before locating the golden ticket ;]
Oh, I think I would give him some time and see how things fall. If he has a son there could very possibly be some other issues that have come up. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you. You've had alot of guys interested in you, but they weren't what you were seeking. Finally, one comes along that you want to dial your number. The joy of the game.

My FWB was out last night and we ran into each other. I left without saying goodbye, which I never do. I got a text at 2am, asking if I left w/ no goodbye, and something to the effect of me being lucky I had company because...well, I think he was planning something a little...rougher. Not my cup of tea. I didn't respond. It just irks me that he can up and leave like he does.
Hi Shy,
My opinion is that he isn’t that keen. If I met a woman I liked and we had texted a few times then the 3 day rule goes out the window...The 3 day rule only applies when I am considering making contact for the very first time. Also, even if something important came up I would make an effort to keep in touch so she doesn’t think I am playing games.
Since you think you are a good judge about a guy’s interest level, the only other possibility is the one you’ve considered and that he has found out something that has made him lose interest. They only thing I’ve read from you that would make me lose interest is a FWB. Is there anyway he could have found out about that?
