He pulled away, I over reacted (drunk text), now what?

I’ve been talking to this guy for a few months now. The first month we talked nearly every day and he was always asking to see me and if we couldn’t see each other (due to working opposite schedules) he would ask me to text him instead. It was like he couldn’t get enough of me (not physically, we were not having sex at this point).

Then he started to go a couple days without contacting me. I tried to play it cool and not question him about it and every time he’d go MIA he would apologize and have a reaons (aka excuse). I am super busy so at first it was a relief that he wasn’t so demanding but after awhile it was apparent that he was pulling away. Eventually I asked him about it and he said he just isn’t too sure about my feelings for him. At this point I wanted to assure him I did like him and I started initating text to him more often (one of his complaints) and trying to make more time to see him.

This seemed to backfire, as time went on our communication became less and less up to the point that he only text me once or twice in a week and instead of long conversations it would be 5-10 exchanges and sometimes he even totally ignored my text or would go MIA in the middle of our conversations. He assured me it was because of his work being super busy (a friend of mine works with him and they went from 40 hours to 60+ a week). So I justified this lack of communication but I did tell him I would appreciate a reply eventually or him to let me know he was going to sleep rather than just disappearing. He promised he wasn’t doing it on purpose and to try to be more understanding. He would still meet me out and when we were together it was great so I figured the texting thing was not that important overall and I know some guys will text more in the beginning when they really don’t like texting though.

Last week I text him about meeting me and some friends out and he didn’t reply altough I saw he read the message almost immediately. I figured he was busy but hours later when he still hadn’t replied and I saw on social media that he was just sitting at home (and I had a few more drinks in me by then) I text him again. Same thing, he read the message and didn’t reply. I had “beer muscles” so to speak… or actually maybe “beer attitude” and I sent him a nasty message saying “F*ck this, I don’t have patience for your crap anymore” and he immediately replied and told me he was busy doing something and to calm down. I felt stupid and immediately replied that he was right and I was out of line and that I was sorry. He never replied to that message and it’s been two days now. I thought about sending another message the following day saying again that I was sorry but I figured I already look needy a little psycho so I decided against it.

I really do like this guy but I’m not sure what to do. He still views my stories on snapchat, retweets things on twitter, and likes things on instagram or facebook that I post so he’s not cutting all contact so to speak but he’s not reached out to me either. Should I text him again and say I’m sorry and see if he replies? Should I wait until I’m out again and invite him as I’ve done in the past? Should I just wait it out and see if he ever reaches out to me again. Part of me feels like I should say something since I’m the one that messed up but another part of me feels like he obviously is losing interest or already lost it because of the way he’s been the last month or so. The problem is I get mixed signals from him, he sometimes ignores me making me think he’s not interested yet he still wants to see me so if he wasn’t interested why would he do that. Damn drunk texting. Any advice on what I should do next and if you think the guy actually likes me or not would be appreciated.
