I have been separated from my exh for over a year and have started to date/meet other people.
I have been speaking to one guy recently who I met online. We have a lot of things in common. He has a lot of qualities that I admire and he says the same to me. We talk a lot and have a similar outlook on things especially relationships and family etc. He seems to me to be quite open and honest. He is not the type I'm usually attracted to but when we meet there is a spark/chemistry.
Anyway I recently called things off with him because I can't quite work out his intentions. Whether he is interested in a hook up or a long term relationship. We had been speaking for just under a month so were still getting to know eachother. I'm not sure if I ended it too quickly because I got scared off or my instincts were correct.
Signs he is interested in a relationship
He texts me all day from good morning first thing, all day at work he checks in and after work too till late in the evening. This has been everyday since we first started talking so about 3-4 weeks.
He talks to me about everything from his work, to his family, his upbringing, his future plans, past relationships etc.
He answers all my questions with very little hesitation whether it paints him in a good light or not.
He is generally respectful towards me and has told me he likes me.
He doesn't push me to do anything I'm not comfortable with.
He is not afraid to discuss the future with me though obviously we haven't really established anything but no topic is off limits.
Signs he is interested in a hook up only
We have met a handful of times (can literally count on one hand) but it's always in the evening never during the day even at weekends. (He works in a very demanding job and works at weekends too so that is his excuse).
He doesn't really make plans when we meet up and twice it's been at my house. Though again he says he likes to be spontaneous but as a single parent I like to know in advance as I need to make plans. It translates to me that he is not making an effort.
He steered the conversation towards sex very early on when we initially began messaging. Though we talk about lots of things it does tend to go back to that (I am guilty of this too 
).
After we became sexually active he stopped asking me questions and it's normally me who asks questions. I feel like I'm carrying the conversation a lot though he does initiate contact normally (hi, how are you, how's your day going etc) and normally responds quickly to messages.
I feel like he doesn't complement me a lot and I get confused whether he is actually attracted to me or just wants to sleep with me.
There is probably more I could write but I will leave it there for now. Do you think my instincts were right or did I end it too quickly.
