I have been seeing a guy for a few months now. About 3 months since we first hung out and we have been dating consistently. We live about 10 min from each other but work complete different work schedules, I work a lot of weekends and that’s when he’s off and we work opposite shifts. We will hangout on Friday or Sat and go out and eat, hit a sports game, chill at one of our apartments. We cuddle, he kisses me all over, rubs my back, I rub him, he wants to spend all the time he can with me when we’re together. We’ve bonded over music, have a joint playlist, we’re sending reels back and forth everyday. We were texting a lot more daily at night before he would work and in the morning when he gets off and when im starting my day. When we are out in public he holds my hand, grabs my waist, we talk to other people. We were at a sports game and he started taking pictures of us together. I went on vacation with my family like a month ago and when I was there, he barely reached out or texted back. When I got home communication picked back up. I started traveling for work two, 4 day trips and he barely communicated with me on them. I sent him pics of my trip/self and asked how he was and he only responded to how he was. Then didn’t respond for another 15 hrs. I’m on the second trip and I’m getting the same vibe. But amidst the drop in communication he booked another 4 day trip that we are going on together. I am tall and blonde and on IG all he likes is Latina woman videos. I don’t know if I may have done or said something that turned him off, or if I should ask him how he feels about me? his actions were showing me he is interested. And why would he book another trip if he wasn’t? He won’t text me back but will send me memes of places and funny things. Idk how to take it and I’m looking for someone else’s opinion. I’m also a very busy person so I felt like maybe he was just giving space but now I feel like I’m bothering. We also have an age gap, I’m 26 and him 38. Just before my last trip he was saying how he can’t wait to go these places with me.
Opinions??? Should I ask him on our trip? After? Should I just pull back and see if he pushes more? And notices?
