I went on a date with a guy today, and it went pretty good. He was amazing. But then I texted him at 3:30 today and it's almost 8 and he hasn't texted me back. The message I sent said "read" on my iPhone. I feel like dieing. I can't take rejection. So I messaged another guy on okcupid and he invited me to a bar with him and his friend. I really don't feel like going out tonight so I said how about Monday? He said now or never. I can't handle it. I think I'm borderline. I feel like I never want to date. But I have this need to be with someone. I just don't know anymore.

Is your bipolar stable or are you in a mood episode? I'm terrible at texting right back and then I get memory issues and forget the person even messages me. I'm sorry you are struggling....have you tried DBT? That now or never dude sounds like he's better left unmet. Let some other unlucky person be pushed around by him and feel sorry for them but grateful it wasn't you. I can't stand pushy people.

I'm a guy and would never say now or never. Bad intentions on that line.

How is this even rejection???

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I don't even bat an eye at return times unless the textee is in crisis or other actual concerning situation (natural disaster etc.)

Reality check, relax and use grounding skills. There are a gazillion reasons people don't respond right away (and by this I don't mean a matter of hours(!!)) and the vast majority of these reasons are not about you.

Agreed with the others on "now or never" guy. He's bad news.

Maybe the guy didn't text back because it didn't require a response. You must have said you had a good time, and he didn't think he needed to respond. It doesn't mean rejection. He may ask you out again or get back to you when he's ready.

And the 'now or never' guy isn't rejection either. It's just obnoxious. I'd choose 'never'.
