Which of these should I do when he's losing interest?

[Howdoyoudo21]

Have been dating a guy for 3 weeks, I'm very into him but unfortunately it's obvious he's doing the slow fade thing for the last week. I'm gutted as he was so attentive at the start and I'm crazy about him.
He's doing the usual, taking way longer to reply to my texts , the tone of them has changed, he hasn't made plans to meet all week.

So my question is which of these is the best thing to do?

1. Straight up ask him what's wrong and if he wants to call it a day?

1. End it for him and just basically tell him it's obvious he's losing interest and that I can't be bothered dragging it out.

1. Match his energy, don't get in touch at all. And wait to see what he does.

1. Let him act this way, act breezy and just fill my life with other stuff , if he gets in touch then I will obvs respond but in a non committal , "don't care either way", type of way? And also not be too available to him.

What I really want is for him to be interested again but I doubt that will happen.
I wish I didn't like him so much as I would just pull the plug on it now as I honestly can't be bothered with the slow death.

You were not in love you were in lust there is a HUGE difference.

I agree its a lovely feeling when you meet someone and you like them, but i'm assuming your body language and how you were speaking and acting when you were with him, made him put his trainers on and head for the hills !!!!

Slow the fuck down and enjoy the dates for what they are a night out with potentially nice conversation and company, and don't be going all teenager until at least 6mths have passed and your date is making noises of a future.

You can choose how you act its not in your DNA !!!

Have you ever read about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria?

5 - definitely block. You'll feel better for it as it's you doing the rejecting, and taking back control.

Bit unnecessarily bitchy, considering this is an advice forum.

I'd go for 4.

I'd go for number 3.

Find out where you stand.
If it’s not an enthusiastic apology and definite interest, lick your small wound, scrape your shoe and move on with a free mind.

It’s really simple. You back up and ignore. Fill your calendar. It’s a great time of year to be busy.

Next time don’t sleep with a guy until he has committed to properly dating you in a traditional sense. It prevents this situation happening.

I’ve met a guy and he is a marathon runner. I’m into running and I’m not having more children so it’s not such a huge red flag. I’m getting to know him slowly, he is doing my training schedule. It’s a great way to build a relationship. I won’t sleep with him until I know he is fully committed to me. He already puts me high on priority list with his children rightfully coming first, breaks his neck to answer my messages and helps me as he can with stuff I’m struggling to figure out how to navigate. So far I’m 2 months in. I first met him in March, almost 9 months ago.

Of course he is chasing me. He told me he respects how I’m so disciplined. Hmmm yup keep going, almost there darling. I’ve fancied the pants off him for months. He is a very fine looking (ok he is hot as hell), smart and successful businessman running his company across 3 continents.

3 weeks in, he got a smile.

Just leave it where it is. I don't think you need to end something that's not been long.

I also wouldn't bother if he wakes up and comes back.

One of my few regrets in life has been agonising over someone who really wasn't interested and the back and forth.

Do you normally game play like this? You sound like a teenager, this is not a viable relationship and the guy isn’t interested. Work on your self esteem before you date again as it’s on the floor.

If you don’t you’re just going to keep opening yourself up to a world of pain. You say this is the way you are, you’re a grown woman for gods sake, flax some self control.
