I'm going to keep the whole background story short and sweet so we can get straight to the theories. 

Basically, went out one saturday night about a month ago.  Wasn't having a particularly thrilling time and was about ready to leave the dreaded BoutAwalk (name changed for the sake of wannabe ronnie stalkers) when a handsome young man bumped into me.  I was a bit irate at the seemingly rude intrusion of my space- there I was innocently trying to purchase a lime & soda (no alcohol involved in THIS story... ;).  We made eye contact and a few sparks flew.  Ronnie being the coy laydee that she is (yes, we've changed to 3rd person) left the situation with a wee smile on her lips, only to pass the said young gentleman a short (no offence Rod) time later.  He was indeed very charming, and the two of them spent many an hour getting to know eachother, all the while  doing their best to understand what the other was saying (due to slight accent variances).  One thing led to another and they may or may not have ended up kissing (no further details here, sorry Rod) and continued to spend a very innocent and happy amount of time together. 

Now for the sad part of this tale (ok so it's not short but it is sweet).  For ease of reading we shall now refer to said young man as X and I shall remain as R.

 

X 'works' for the army so is not based in London and appears to rarely have much say over where he is sent to 'work' for them.  MSN and Texts were exchanged the next 2 weeks desperately trying to find time in R's hectic social schedule and X's 'work' to see eachother again to continue the romance.  Finally a weekend was set and all was 99% go.  Depending of course on the charming army and their schedule which can change at any given moment (somewhat like a chickens quest for food in a busy farmyard).  As the day drew nearer both parties grew more excited, if R was a little nervous she did well to hide it...

Then, lo and behold, the night was upon us and the army changed their plans, forcing X to remain in the town they were in for another night.  A very apologetic text was sent and phone call made, with lovely-sounding promises made to make it up to R upon X’s arrival on the scene in 2 days time.  R was not too upset coz she figured she'd see him soon anyway.  R went on out as planned that evening, but the next day when she got home there was not a morsel of loving on her mobile from X - most unusual.  2 days later, still nothing and R is getting a bit worried.  She can handle if he had a change of heart but this man had seemed very honest and above board, and she is sure he would have just told her had that been the case.  A few phone calls are attempted but dreaded voicemail is reached.  A few texts are sent trying to locate X, but no response.  R is a little annoyed but more worried than anything - the army had them practicing with live rounds that week and you never know what accidents may occur.  Finally, a full 3 days later, a text is sent from R's phone asking whoever has phone to please let her know what is going on.  FINALLY a text back is received, this one saying 'Your not getting your phone back so piss off'.  AAAH!  Enlightenment!  It would appear the phone has been stolen!  Horrid, but atleast explains a few things. 

So if his phone has been stolen and the army still have them off base, he now does not have my number (stored on stolen phone) and they do not have access to internet while off-base - email being the only other way they can now be in touch.  Today it has been a week since his phone call promising many things a laydee likes to hear (or R anyway) and saying he’d be down in 2 days time, and still no word.  :(  Here’s what we’ve come up with, do vote for the one you deem most likely and I will certainly update you if X is ever heard from again! 

 

1. Phone NOT stolen and is just trying to fob R off.
2. Kidnapped by MI5 for knowing too much and every time he gets a text on alleged ‘stolen’ phone they’re sending a few thousand vaults thru him. 
3. Is in fact married and was having a naughty weekend.  Perhaps wife was there watching??  There are all types in this world…
4. Unexpectedly deployed to Indonesia to help set up shelters, etc, for the suffering people.  Obviously there is no internet in those regions due to the systems being wrecked after the earthquake/volcano – if it’s happened by the time you read this. 
5. Unexpectedly sent off for training prior to being deployed to ******** (sorry can’t say dudes) in October and there is no internet and as he’s lost his phone (how did that HAPPEN!), has no way of letting R know. 
6. Took a blow to the head during training and is now suffering from temporary memory loss.  He would obviously be able to remember the lovely R but can’t remember the password to his hotmail account and as phone was stolen has no other way of contacting R.  How frustrating for him. 
7. Injured during training – if this is the case it must be pretty serious for him to have no access to internet.  I don’t like this theory at all.  I get scared thinking of it.  I may then never hear from him and will never know why this happened. I don’t care if I never find out why this has happened as long as he’s out there somewhere OK.  Well, of course I want to know but if had the choice of finding out or him being OK, would have to go for the his being alive option.
8. R is a totally terrible judge of character, he was just stuffing around and this is all a cruel joke.  It’s not funny.
9. He met someone on the Friday after texting R, or the Saturday – or rather just anytime after texting R last.  Is now totally in love and has forgotten to let R know.
10. His ex got back in touch, told him how sorry she is and please go back to her.  He was a total idiot and fell for it and again, forgot to let R know.

 
Now it's your turn - please send me your theories and I'll stick 'em up here, or just add a comment below!  :)
