So there’s a guy that I know through friends and I see him out every now and then and speak to him. I always found him really nice and attractive. We didn’t really speak much otherwise but followed each other on social media etc. I decided a couple of weeks ago to reply to one of his stories as it made me laugh and we really hit it off from there.
It’s all been over text due to lockdown but we have been speaking every day for 2 weeks now and he has really been showing interest. He asks about my day, texts me in the morning to have a good day, seemed genuinely excited when I told him some of my good news from work. Things got quite flirty, he was becoming quite complimentary and he was saying how much he wishes we could meet up for dinner or a pub etc. He was a fast replier and we were chatting a lot. We realised we have loads in common in terms of music taste, interests etc. We FaceTimed the other night and he really was making me laugh.
We were meant to meet for a socially distanced walk on Saturday but the weather was gross so he bailed. However he instantly said “let’s go on Monday evening, put it in your diary”. So I felt happy with that and all was good.
However yesterday (Sunday) he was suddenly really quite off. The texting was much less frequent, and he was texting pretty bluntly and much more like a friend. I asked him if he was okay and if I’d done something, and he said no of course not he’d just been chilling. I don’t mind long replies if someone’s busy but it was the complete change of tone that baffled me! Anyway, I said that’s fine and left him to it. He didn’t text me all evening until about midnight where he said he dozed off (even though he’d been posting on social media before then) but whatever, it was fine.
Then today, the first text I get is that he’s feeling really unwell and needs to sleep it off and he won’t be around for that walk today. He didn’t attempt to rearrange. I offered to do something else but he said no he needs to sleep. Now here’s where I think I messed up - I asked if he’s sure I hadn’t done something and if I have, I’d rather just know! But he said no, I’m just feeling unwell. I said that’s absolutely fine, it was just the change of tone from yesterday. He then said he has phases, like yesterday, where he doesn’t want to be on his phone all day and didn’t want to chat to anyone yesterday. I said of course it’s fine and it’s not the length of time took to text me that was an issue. He then said very bluntly “you haven’t done anything haha”. I then realised I probably sounded like an arsehole and said okay, I hope he feels better and has a good rest, and if anything is up he knows where I am if he wants a chat.
This was over 5 hours ago and I’ve had no response (I genuinely don’t think he’s gone this long without texting for the last 2 weeks!). He’s posted once or twice since too so I really feel like I’ve messed up here :( what do I do???
