To wonder why he is doing this

Hi everyone

the man I am seeing texts me first but when I reply he gives one word answers to each text? Why is he doing this? Sometimes it’s just ‘yep’ etc

Tell him to..

Harridance · 07/07/2022 16:26

Do

Sounds like he's just checking you're still on his hook but doesn't actually want to interact to me. Sounds very tiresome.

Possibly mind games. Next time he text reply in the same way. If he draws attention to it he is likely aware of him doing it. If not it’s just who he is.

Minimum effort.

A guy did something similar with new once, he was just checking he still has my attention though he didn't deserve it. I was going enough to tolerate it for longer than I should but I wouldn't again, it was all very hollow and self-serving of him.

Young enough.. And as for the rest of the auto errors 🙄🙄

He doesn’t really like you but he’s keeping you engaged enough to get his leg over when he wants. Are the messages generic or is there something personal in them? Wouldn’t surprise me if he was mass sending the same text message to however many girls he’s got on the go at the moment

It's called 'not being interested in you but just using you for sex.' Delete him and do better.

Iloveelephantss · 07/07/2022 17:03

Yes I think so. I live very close to him so I think I’m just the ‘convenient’ walk up the road for sex when he wants it

The messages he asks how I am but once I respond it’s very minimal responses

I think he believes I am wrapped round his middle finger so has to make very little effort.

Whatever his motive, he's shit at conversation so I'd ditch him on those grounds alone

Is he right? Are you happy with the situation? If not, you know you can just bin him.
