So me and my date saw each other on Wednesday, on that date he said he had a sore throat. The next day, he told me he had stuffy nose.
We suppose to have a date today, but he told me he wants to stay at home because on top of stuffy nose and coughing, he has a fever of 98.6!!!!! I’m like, that’s normal body temp. He’s like, but he generally has a temp of 97.7 so this feels high! So we canceled the date.
He later texted me a few texts saying he’s still sick and a picture of his medicine. I asked politely if he wants me to bring him anything. He says no, but might ask for fruits if he’s still sick NEXT WEEKEND!
Wtf????? Is it me or this is absurd? I want to say something sarcastic but bit my tongue, cause he’s “sick” and you’re not supposed to be mean to someone not feeling well.
Your input is welcome
If I have a cold, it usually starts with the throat, moves to the nose later that day or the next.
And then I'll be pretty sick with congestion and then cough for the next two weeks--quite contagious for the first week at least, and having zero fun in life for two. I would be coughing up phloem into the third week.
I almost never have a fever--when I have a fever, I'm really, really sick, and it's not just a cold.
So you're saying he had the first symptom less than a week ago. He should still be contagious. He might yet go to work--lots of sick people do (yuk)--but he's not going to be in close contact with them as he'd be with you.
My wife won't sleep in the same room with me for three weeks.
So from that information alone, there's no reason for you to be suspicious.

^^^ This!!
They had only few dates, and OP already acts like a demanding, possessive/obsessive drama queen. I don't think this "relationship" has any future. There are too many accusations and no trust.
It doesn't matter if he is "really" sick and how severe. If he thinks he needs a proof by sending pictures of medicine, and OP still accuses him of lying and ponders that he might be not so sick because he went to work, then why bother at all?
If there is no trust, then there is no future.
OP should just let him be and find herself another suitor.

This "dating" timeline just feels weird, and doesn't sounds like he is into her. Another reason to just let it go....
She is maybe insecure but given his behavior I get it. Just my opinion. I don't think he's doing much to make her feel secure in the relationship. And his level of interest is like a 4 whereas hers is close to a 10.

I would leave him alone with his cold. Don't contact him. Let him contact you.

My cold treatment used to be Nyquil and a hot brandy toddy every eight hours until I was well. Just stay unconscious for at least the first week.
But for sure, I preferred to be left alone.
For the last few years, though, when I first feel the hint of a cold, I hit it with zinc, which normally stops it dead. If I catch it too late to stop it, the zinc at least reduces the symptoms to something that feels like the last couple of days of a regular cold.
He still keeps texting me and update his status. He actually went to work this morning. So he’s not so sick where he had to cancel work.
Relax and don’t get yourself in a frenzy.
The best way to handle this is to believe him and tell him you hope he feels better soon.
Then go live your life.
If he wants to see you, he’ll ask you out when he feels better.
It does seem strange that he would text you a picture of his cold medicine, as if he needed to give proof he is actually sick. I’d would have probably asked why’d you text me a picture? Do you think I don’t believe you?

The thing is he keeps texting me to update his status, such as, “still feel terrible but at work.” How am I supposed to respond to that? I’ve said “ hope u feel better” like 3 times already. I don’t want to completely ignore his texts which is like ghosting. Nor do I want to engage in the prolonged texting.

That's when the "thumbs up" emoji comes in handy.
Most of my friends know that when I start responding with single emojis it's time to end that conversation.

Lol that’s ridiculous.
I would in fact ignore those texts. It’s not ghosting. When he has something more interesting to say you’ll reply
