Red flag or not?

[VIX1307]

I'm currently dating a man who rarely ever asks about my day or how I am.
Is this more typical of the male species and how they communicate or could this be a sign of selfishness/ narcissism. Would it put you off?

For example today I have asked him how he was this morning, his response was just 'fine thank you', then proceeded to tell me about his plans for the day.
Later on I ask how his day was going and I get 'awful!!' This is very typical of him a lot of the time. If I do tell him that I've had a bad day I just get 'oh no :(' or something to that effect. I find it odd that he doesn't care what I'm doing or how I am. Is this a red flag?

Stop driving everything and his attitude is rotten anyway, step back and let him show you that he is actually interested, then you will know for sure.

I dated somebody like this and brushed it off to begin with. I always room an interest in his day/work. Sometimes he would rant for hours about how much he hates everyone he worked with. I would listen and try and put a different perspective on it.
He would never ask me about my work and if he ever asked about my day it would just be out of politeness as he wasn't really interested.
Fast forward down the line and it was jealously. He felt insecure having had a military career for 24 years and was now out in civvie street thinking life was the same.
At the end of the relationship he'd knocked all my confidence out of me by putting me down and my job. Forever telling me I was rubbish and tried talking me out of going for a promotion as he felt I was stressed preparing a presentation for interview.
It could well be innocent and maybe you need to sit down and talk about it.
For me, it was the start of abuse which resulted in my being badly beaten by him.
I hate thinking bad of people and will always give them the benefit of the doubt. Do ask yourself other questions about his behaviours. My ex never complimented me on how I looked and could never find a nice word to say. It's always subtle things that when you look back you realise it wasn't love at all.

It doesn't sound as if he is very enthusiastic about the relationship to me. I'd be more concerned about being "too tired" for the bus trip t the lunch meet up than the other things. So far as lack of communication goes though my own much loved DH of 31 years seldom talks about his day and hardly ever asks about mine - even if I'm on a course or have a big event at work. He is an engineer, they tend to be a bit like this I think!
