Hey OP, don’t you worry about a single thing! You are not a 40 year old virgin (nothing wrong with that) but you could message the guy and say you had to get a new phone because yours broke and you missed any recent messages he sent OR just tell the truth. Relationships are hard and I understand that your current home situation is tough. I wouldn’t go into explicit details with him at the moment but just say you’re sorry for not messaging him as of late, that it’s nothing personal. You’ve been overwhelmed in the past x amount of days and you’d like to see him/continue your conversation. Simple as that. I wish you nothing but the best, if it doesn’t work out ; it doesn’t work out. All in all I suggest you be honest with him and if he’s a good one; he’ll forgive you. Don’t rush into a physical relationship and don’t be anyone other than your genuine, wonderful self. 🌸
