Is this odd messaging?

[Chairlove]

Is it odd the frequency of messaging of a guy I met OLD? We matched about 5 weeks ago. A few messages per day via the app. We then swapped numbers and arranged to meet for food (pre lockdown). I got tracked and traced so had to isolate for 2 weeks.

We still message, but it was never loads (phew don’t like that), but he is never really active in WhatsApp. So messages go unread until hours later or at times he is really responsive. It’s more after 9pm, no reply.

We arranged another date, walking as gone into lockdown. Day of date he got tracked and traced. Date delayed. We are now meeting tomorrow.

However I sent a messages straight after he messaged me suggesting a place to walk at 6pm. Nothing not been active in WhatsApp since and cut off mid conversation.

He said he had just bought a house, and he was discussing doing it up. I was suggesting sending some before and after pics. I got nothing- the hurt his back so couldn’t do it. but whilst browsing some selling sights on Facebook I came across a post by him asking for a flat to rent ASAP last week. Why if he bought a house?

I am suspicious over guys due to past experiences. I just seem to think it’s odd, but can’t really ask.

What do I do.? Way do you think?

Delete. Block. Move on.

If he’s this much trouble before you’ve met him, he’s not going to be any easier in a relationship.

Never ignore you gut reaction.
And stop trying to read people by their WhatsApp behaviour. Everyone is different, inclination, pace of life, commitment or even just keep you dangling. Who knows.

Why don't you just ask? Maybe he is doing it up and needs somewhere to stay until it's finished? Maybe blue was asking for a friend? Lots of reasons, most people aren't complete psychopaths.

Is he already in a relationship perhaps - hence the reduced messages in the evening? My gut instinct is that he’s in a relationship that’s on the rocks so is experimenting with moving on, but hasn’t left yet!
