Would you bring this up or let things fizzle out?

I’ve been dating someone for around 2-3 months now. I find them so attractive physically, they have a great personality, so kind, I find them quite mysterious (I usually read people so well but with them I can’t and I find that really intriguing and attractive in a way) however one thing that is lacking is communication and it’s really starting to bother me.

They drive for work so I don’t expect to hear from them throughout the day which is fine - but on most days I don’t even get a morning message like before work or after work either - for example they finished work at 5pm today and they still haven’t replied to my message from around 4-5pm, I doubt I’ll get one tonight at all now. To them, they are just very chilled out about getting back to people but to me it shows a lack of care or thought towards that person, like a lack of effort.

I don’t feel like I’m in a position to call them out about it though, it’s just such a shame because I really like everything else about them but I don’t want to waste my time - should I bring it up to them in a casual way or should I just leave things to fizzle out and stop making the effort back?

Well if you don't contact them and in your words it'll 'fizzle out' you've kinda answered your own question. Raise your bar, if he knows you like a text and he cba after 2 months move on

You'll get people on here telling you that you are expecting too much if you want a text back before 24hrs, but honestly, if he liked you enough, he would message you back and that's the truth.

Exactly this, especially when they are posting at the gym and active on social media etc

Just not that into you I think I'm afraid, sorry

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 01/06/2023 22:41

What have you got to lose by saying next time you're together, I like texting and keeping in touch between seeing each other, I smile when I get little texts from you etc

Or you could text and say 'I'm going for a walk call me on your drive home if you fancy a chat' if he likes you he will be up for that, if he doesn't then bin him

Yup definitely not that into you!

PintoMilk · 01/06/2023 22:44

Yanbu. Sounds like he's not that into you, sorry I know it stings, there are better ones out there.

Quitelikeit · 01/06/2023 22:44

I honestly believe if he liked you a lot he’d be keen to hear from you and respond swiftly

ECJW85 · 01/06/2023 22:46

Yeah I kind of knew that anyway because previous people I’ve dated have always been keen to hear how my day is going etc, think I’m gonna have to let this one go, thanks everyone!
