Why not just text the number he gave you and say....I would have gotten back to you sooner but my Dad ended up in the hospital this weekend and I was with him.
Why would it be creepy or weird? If he thinks it is it would say a lot more about you than him. With all the dating you do why aren't you more confident about how you should proceed with your dates? They are just people.
It's honest to God not supposed to be this difficult.
From his perspective, YOU ghosted him, so he unmatched as he was "put off".
As a man, I would not respond to a message from a woman on Instagram if I realized that my Instagram and dating profile portray two different people. However, if I were honest in both my dating profile and Instagram account, I would be happy to hear from a woman, especially a woman I have been on a date with.
Well look on the bright side...there are obviously enough other guys out there to have first dates with so no loss. (Whether you like them enough for a second date is another story...)
Several people had said this, and I think I would have reacted much like the OP. If my dad was in the hospital in an emergency situation, my first thought would not be, "I have to get in touch with that guy I had one date with!" I would be with family and my phone would not be my top priority.
Of course during the initial emergency absolutely not, that would not be on anyone's mind. But, after the admission and a several day hospital stay, IF she were interested, she could have used 2-4 seconds to send a text. She wasn't at all interested until she realized he rejected her. Rutrow. Then it was ON.
OTOH, there are probably also people who would be like, "OMG, your dad is in the hospital and might not make it but you're spending your time sending text messages to dudes you only went on one date with?"
That is ridiculous. All we were saying is that during a hospital stay, you are not always with your loved one, they are taken for tests, they sleep, they walk them up and down the hall, they eat. It would not be rude or disrespectful to the loved one to take a few minutes and catch up on messages, whether it be dating app, facebook, messenger, tick-tock, whatever......... the point is that she never attempted to explain anything to him at all for (if I remember correctly) a few days? Nope. Not buying that. She was rejected and couldn't take it. I've seen this sort of thing a hundred times. She could have said " hey, I had a good time. Right now I'm with my Dad in the hospital and not a good time to talk but I will be in touch if you would like." THE END. Let's see, that took what 4-5 seconds?
