I’m seeing a guy who was an old friend. He hit me up about some mutual art things I had posted about.
I was casually seeing someone else before he came along. I’d always had a bit of a crush on this guy so I was really excited to hear from him. He asked me out and I was immediately honest about the other guy, it didn’t seem to bother him. Went out and it was super lovely, he kissed me before we left. He asked me out again a couple of days later, and then again. It’s been about a month of seeing each other, I told him I want to take things slow and he has seemed super keen (looking back tho I kept making jokes to him that we were just friends nothing more, he seemed kinda bothered). In fact the last time I saw him I mentioned I was grateful that he hasn’t pushed to have sex yet and all he said was “you set the pace for this”.
The thing that is stressing me out is things have suddenly got awkward. Ever since we started talking he has been sparatic at texting, so consistently sparatic that it didn’t bother me. He has always been so keen to hangout regardless.
However since the last time we hung out he has almost completely stopped messaging me, he texted me last week asking to see me again and I agreed but then yesterday cancelled on me! He did try and reschedule but I was busy. I just casually told him maybe another time and he has not followed up.
I’m happy to admit maybe I have given mixed signals. I like him though and I don’t know how to fix the awkwardness that has grown between us.
I’ve messaged him first a couple of times and he seems not as responsive to what he was.
Should I cut my losses and assume he is not interested, wait for him to message me back at some point or just hit him up myself in a couple of days?
