What the heck is this guy doing?

Met a guy on a night out in December, we chatted the whole night and got on like a house on fire. He asked me for my number which I gladly gave him.

Didn't hear anything from him. I thought, well that's a shame he obviously changed his mind but what can you do. Then randomly 3 WEEKS LATER he text me and asked if I fancied going to see something in the cinema. I said I'd love to but unfortunately I was hundreds of miles away with my family for the holidays. We text each other for the whole day and and I suggested we meet in the new year. He said great let me know when you're back in town cus he'd love to meet up. He didn't text me again.

New year comes, I (maybe stupidly?) decide to text him and let him know I'm back in town. He said he was away for work that week but asked if I wanted to meet up after he got back and go see that movie. I said sure. We end up texting for the whole day again but made no solid plans.

Then, radio silence, so I thought well that's it then

Another 3 weeks later he has just text me asking if I wanted to go on that date! Over 2 months after we exchanged numbers!

I can't tell if he's taking the piss at this point or plucking up the courage to actually go on a date with me. I would have 100% been happy to go on a date with him but now I cba!

He sounds like very hard work. I'd probably leave it and find someone more available and reliable.

Fuck that shit.

Not worth it. No-one is worth that, surely?!

moonsnake · 24/01/2020 23:02

I'd assume he has a girlfriend or is married.

I'd leave it.

RedPurpleyBlue · 24/01/2020 23:06

I didn't even think of the fact he might have a girlfriend and that's what the delay is.

Yeah I'm not going on a date with him. I haven't even replied. What the heck though! So weird!

It was the hols and you both were busy. I'd give him just one chance to make a date and show up, before writing it off.

Smellbellina · 24/01/2020 23:08

He’s either legitimately busy, you’re a back up for when he’s feeling down and/or he has a relationship on the go. Impossible to say really.

Working on an oil rig? If not bin him off.

MashedSpud · 24/01/2020 23:18

He doesn’t seem interested. If he was he would have kept in touch by text more often.

Or he’s married.

Not single or you're about 5 down from the top of his list of dating potentials. He only works his way down to five every month of two (and then doesn't follow through because one of the higher numbers is available).

Backup - someone else has said it upthread.

Forget about him, ignore him the next time he gives the fishing line you're supposed to be hooked on a little yank to see if you're still there.
