Once again I'm in need of Mumsnet's wisdom... too embarrassed to ask people IRL about this.
So I met this guy three months ago in a full-time, month-long course. During the course there was barely any time to hang out 1-1. But we managed to hang out alone twice before the course ended, once a breakfast thing, and the second a market foods + drinks thing (both his invitation). Right before he flew back to his country, he texted me privately for the first time (we have a group chat).
Then a week later, I decided to text him, just a casual chat about the course. Initially he was quite dry, like literally 'Hi, how are you' as if we were meeting for the first time. Then, eventually, it became 3-5 messages per 1-2 days from both of us, but not a live chat. I would say it wasn't flirty, just friendly.
It got to the point where... he practically invited me to his city. I showed him my calendar and he wrote down his city in the holiday times.
I wasn't sure how many days of my holiday we were gonna meet up (I was expecting maybe 1 full Saturday + a dinner or something). Then he made it clear that he'd show me around pretty much every day after work (almost his exact words).
He also asked me to tell him the hotel name, my flight arrival time and airport.
Well, since I sent him the time and airport, he's not replied for a week. I followed up with, Do you know when we'll meet? I can plan around that. Again silence for 2 days.
So... uhm, have I met a majestic ghoster whose suggestion has cost me at least £1k? I mean, I was gonna visit the city anyway, there are lots to do. But still... I wonder what's going on. If it helps, his texting has always been literal: full sentences with correct punctuation and perfect grammar. To the point and effective.
To make it clear, no, we have not done anything remotely intimate. And no, he's not from the UK. His city is about 3.5hrs away.
Don't need any psychoanalysis but would appreciate any insights!
