I met this guy on a dating website a few months ago. We talked for awhile and started talking about what we were looking for. He used to disappear for a few days and then send a message. I met someone else in one of those days I haven’t heard from him and then told him I met someone. I dated him for two months. Now that we broke it off, I contact the guy I met online and started talking again. The thing is, he doesn’t initiate texts or calls, but when I text him he’s being cute and flirty. He doesn’t initiate a first date either.
It makes me feel annoying and like I’m chasing him, I got used that the guy initiate more at the Start.
Is he not interested? Why does he never send a text first and can go days without us talking? It really bugs me.SparkleHe isn’t interested. Look up “e-tethering”. The reason he responds who knows. Probably to pass time. But a man that’s interested wouldn’t leave everything to you. Let it go.
JenniferHi Becca,
I feel your frustration here–I’ve been in relationships where I’ve done a LOT of the chasing and it’s exhausting. This time around I told myself it would be different and it has been—Hold out for a guy that will initiate texts at least 50% of the time. I think if you want to text and reach out one day that’s cool, but the next day it should be on him. If he doesn’t text, see if he will take the hint on day 2 and text. If he doesn’t, then get back on the dating website and find someone who wants to reach out and text you, there are lots of men out there!
SparkleI actually went through something similar not to long ago. Guy would respond and be all flirty with me but never initiated a meeting…ever. This went on for almost a year then I let it go. He tries to talk to me now but I have completely lost interest in him.
DianeI had a guy like that about 6 months…always response but never initiate…
He is just not interested… He response to pass time
fireplaceNot interested , He probably reply while waiting for the bus . Dating website are full of guy and woman with smartphone and being bored at the bus station.
IvyIt feels like you are chasing him because in fact you ARE chasing him. So stop.
sweetyI feel what most of people here are suggesting is correct.He might taking you as an option or might be some other reason but one thing is sure that is you are not his priority.So just let him go and do something useful instead of wasting your time on him. good Luck
