How come a guy who pursued me first, was extremely interested in me and constantly flirted suddenly become extremely distant and started replying dryly?
I have been talking to a guy for the past month and last week we finally met up and had an extremely good chat. He kept making jokes and we talked for hours until we decided it was getting late. We hugged goodbye and even made plans to hang out the next night. When I got back home, I texted him I had a good time and can’t wait to see him again. He said he had a nice time as well.
We didn’t talk again until the next day in the afternoon, he commented on my new post calling me beautiful but our conversation was just really dry? We were gonna hang out that night but he never came, afterwards he said he had fallen asleep and said he was disappointed. I asked if we should reschedule and he just replied with an emoji?
The past few days his replies have been getting slower and more dry. He still says “good morning beautiful” but then I won’t hear from him until night time. He used to just say he was sleepy but now there isn’t any excuse. Now, I have been left on delivered since the morning yet he is being active on his accounts.
I have never been in a relationship before but I don’t think I’m stupid. It is becoming clear that maybe he just isn’t interested anymore, I just don’t know why he still bothers to say things like “good morning beautiful” and send me memes when he does message me. Maybe he is talking to someone else but doesn’t want to completely get rid of me in case they don’t work out? A hard part about this is the fact I’ve told him I’ve been ghosted and left for another girl before and he said he would never do that.
Sorry if this seems painfully obvious, but I just want advice I guess. Should I just start acting distant as well? If I should be straightforward, I have no idea on what to even say. Thank you to anyone who shares their opinion.
