So I've been casually sleeping with a guy for the past few months. We really don't see each other often and when we do it's just for one thing (which we're both cool with). The other evening I was scrolling on a dating app and he came into my queue, I did not swipe on him since we're just causal and I think it's better in these type situations to just ignore each other on dating apps if we come across one another's profile. Anyway the next morning I got a notification that he had sent me a rose on the dating app. I didn't react to the rose since I don't want him in my matches, however I did text him the next day (yesterday) because I was in the mood to see him. I just sent him a text saying hey and asking how he's doing (which is typical for us) and he never responded. Like I said this is a casual thing, but I can't help but feel a bit rejected and perplexed since just the previous day he sent me a rose on the dating app. I understand he may have been busy yesterday and maybe couldn't see me but he still could have responded to my text, I have always responded texts whether I could see him or not, and he has done the same in the past. Am I reading too much into this? The sex is pretty amazing and we live super close to each other so I'd imagine he wouldn't want to end this unless he is in a relationship with someone which I highly doubt since he's active on a dating app.
I was just thinking this morning about technology. Once in a blue moon, I'll text my wife something that seems to disappear in my phone. I later determined that my phone "forgot" the date. Instead of 3/16/23 it thinks I sent it 10/01/2000. It happens with some androids...the message is there if I scroll back to the date it stamped.
In other words, don't assume that technology is infallible. People aren't either---they accidentally delete things or maybe it goes to spam, etc.

I'd text again.
I agree with you about technology. However the text said it was delivered, I doubt it went into spam since we've texted before and I'm pretty sure my number is saved in his phone. Could he have accidentally deleted it? Sure, but I doubt that. My instinct is that he was probably busy and just forgot to respond but I would've appreciated the common courtesy of a response, then again there's always the chance that he's just not interested anymore. We also don't text each other much, so on the few occasions I do reach out to him he typically responds enthusiastically.
Why does it matter since you don't want a relationship with him? He will either get back to you or he won't.
Also, as someone else mentioned, can be a phone glitch. I have had on occasion texts show up a day or two later than when they were sent. Things happen. Or, he could have seen your text, been busy, then forgot to respond. I have done that. Not every little thing means something.

Like I said, I was just feeling a bit rejected.
We both have iphones and the message said it was delivered, I probably would be more apt to chalk it up to a glitch if one of us had an iphone and the other an android but the chances of that message not having been delivered to him are highly unlikely.
Yea I'm guessing he was busy and just forgot to respond.

The way my mind works, I'd imagine he's probably sleeping around with other women, or intending to do so @ some point, so it wouldn't really matter if it was "a relationship" or just casual sex - same as it is with you.
I would just do my best to forget it and let him contact you whenever he contacts you.
