I (28F) met a guy (28M) on Hinge a month ago. Amazing first date—coffee turned into lunch and dinner. We clicked emotionally, which surprised me since he was hot and cold over text before we met.
After our second date, we agreed to keep things casual (just friends, not FWB) due to personal life stuff. A few days later, we hung out again, shared some wine, cuddled, kissed. He suggested we take it further and that I stay the night—I declined, and he seemed fine with that.
The next day I jokingly acknowledged we broke our “just friends” rule. He said he had no regrets. BUT, later that night is when I think I blew it. I got drunk with friends and called him 5 times around 11:30 PM (he’d drunk-called me before, so I thought it was fine). He answered on call 5, said he was sleeping, and I texted more annoying shit after we hung up (ugh). I apologized the next morning—he said “you’re fine,” but didn’t reply after I thanked him. I didn’t hear from him the next day, and the day after that I texted inviting him over—no response. It’s been 4 days now.
At this point, I don’t have any expectations about a relationship, I just enjoyed spending time with him – friends or more. I think he probably assumed I had gone from one foot in to all in over night, when the truth is I just get clingy when I’m drunk.
So… is this done, or is there a chance I might still hear from him? Friends say he might just need space. Would it be dumb to call and just say “hey what’s up?” and be totally normal and act like I haven’t been ghosted? He’s a self described “chill guy” and has told me before to “quit overthinking” soooo I’m wondering if I should just do it…
TL;DR
I was ghosted by someone who I was just getting to know. Is it over or may I still hear from him again??

Certainly seems like it’s over. Probably best just to move on.
More than likely yeah you’re being ghosted. Don’t text him again, he got your messages the ball is in his court.
Just wanting to be friends, only a month, and you drunk call 5x in short succession? I know I’d be over it. But for new people I follow a 2x rule – I’ll initiate twice but not again after that
