    I [25 F] matched with a lovely guy [29 M] on bumble in February. He always took a little while to reply maybe a few days but always got back to me. His messages have always been super long! He asks loads of questions and seems interested in getting to know me. I gave him my number and now we message over iMessage

    However, during April, he’s been taking 7 days to reply to every message. When he does reply, the messages are still long and asks what I’ve been up to and stuff. But every time he replies he apologises for slow reply with a different excuse every time e.g. ‘sorry my adhd means I get so distracted’ and ‘sorry my phone isn’t working very well.’ Why would a guy do this?

    He hasn’t replied to my last message for over a week. He usually gets back to me and says that he’s excited to meet me but I can’t take this seriously. Should I relax?

    He’s been on the app today but he hasn’t been on it for over 3 weeks, why can he go on the app but not reply to me??

    I feel a bit disheartened, should I if he said he’s looking forward to meeting me?

    You’ve been waiting on this guy for 2 months?!

    Imagine if his ADHD is so bad he can’t remember to answer a text what dating him would be like…

    The “my phone isn’t working so well” is a total excuse for his very low interest. He’s on it, just not with you. Stop texting him and find someone else.

    Post 8 about the same issue, new name. Last time anm mode asked you if you posted before. You never responded. The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over an over expecting a different outcome. You do this with this ‘lovely’ guy (who you never met) waiting week after week and posting the same issue here again. I do it with responding here, again. Ill stop now

    Newbie is right, you’ve posted about this guy at least half a dozen times.

    All this anxiety over a guy you’ve never met!

    His interest is low. If he were very interested he wouldn’t take a week to reply to your messages. And his excuses are pathetic, any time a guy has to make a flimsy excuse for not getting in touch for days, you know something is up. Why stress over it so much? You don’t know this guy. And you’re stalking him on the app too. Just back off and talk to other guys. For all you know he’s talking with other women over the app that he feels more of a connection with and that’s why he’s taking his time replying to you. In fact that’s very likely to be the case. It’s just the way dating is. That’s why you shouldn’t be so worked up over some guy you’ve never even met.

    As others have observed, you have posted about this before. And I did reach-out to you in the last thread you posted, inviting you to interact with the community and respond. You did not.

    You have repeatedly posted here, without acknowledging the answers our community members have given to you. You have repeatedly posted using different names and claiming that you are different ages in those topics. The community has noticed your pattern and finds it exasperating. If your questions are genuine, you are giving the community an impression that you are neither listening nor growing. You are not gaining clarity by posting here.

    You are no longer welcome to post here.
