Missing boyfriend - as in he has disappeared

OK this may sound a bit stupid but my boyfriend has had his phone switched off for two days and I haven't heard from him. I'm getting worried because he never has his phone off for that long and so I'm starting to get paranoid that maybe something has happened to him. I don't know his home number and don't particularly want to call his work in case nothing is wrong.

I'm thinking that maybe he's lost his phone or something and I know he doesn't know my number, well I don't know his if that happened to me.

Do you think I should call his work or what?

Sorry I know its a stupid post but im kinda getting worried.

Maybe hes really busy and doesnt want any distractions. If your really worried just ring his work number. Its probabily nothing, good luck i hope you get good news from ringing him.

Maybe he's busy with exams. Hold out for another day, I'd say and then if he hasn't contacted you either be worried or be angry when he does!

No exams as he works full time, but if he doesn't contact should I call his work?

He sounds like a great boyfriend. :rolleyes: Why do you two not know each others numbers? If he lost his phone would you two just never ever see each other again? Madness.

This happened to me a few weeks ago. After four days i found out he had moved back in with his ex and decided not to tell me. I think the psycho ex may have forbidden him from speaking to me. Anyway, i know that's not an uplifting story, but chances are if you have been going out for any length of time, that won't happen to you!

Yeah it seems old he has not least talked to you for 2 days im suprised you havent got each others numbers, i also think it might be his way of saying he's not interested no more.

"hi (bf name) well how are you, i just called to say are you okay, i was really worried because i coulndt get into contact with you over the past few day
okay then love you"

Sorry if this sounds rude but do people not read previous posts?
You should know each other's home phone numbers! I keep numbers of people that I need to talk to if I ever lose my phone in a planner, and also on my computer.

i got dumped like that once, he didnt answer my calls, reply to my emails or texts and went missing on msn. I couldnt go around his (because my parents where on holiday and i couldnt walk cos id hurt my foot a few days earlier and was told to rest it and avoid walking on it.)

6 weeks later and id totally given up ever knowing what happened, a freind rang him and his ex answered. He kinda knew about me being an item, so gave this girl the third degree, we worked out from what she has said, he'd been bed hopping. He never did properly dump me.. its in the past anyway i put it down to his immaturity and started uni single.
yep I got dumped like that as well. The girl involved said later that she handled it badly because she didnt want to hurt my feelings, but it was much more hurtful coming like that.
I can still remember clearly not working out why she said she wasn't coming out with me that weekend because she wasn't sure if she had a friend coming round her house, and then when I'd texted her to tell her what I'd been doing that weekend and asking what she'd been up to, I didn't understand why she didn't reply.
I didn't understand why she didn't pick up her phone when I tried to ring, or ring me back, and when I texted her asking if she wanted to meet up between lectures like we normally did, she didn't reply again.

In the end she texted back saying "sorry, been busy, got loads of work on, locked in my room", so I asked her if I could come round and see her for 15 min while she had a break, but no reply to that one either.

The only text that actually elicited a response was after about a full week when I asked outright "do you still actually want to see me?" and she texted back "well I'm just really busy and maybe we should just leave it".

She wasn't that busy though as I later found out she'd been going out most of those evenings, including some big gigs at the union!
