No communication between dates! Would you find this odd?

[Catsgrey]

We are now on the 4th date and he never contacts me apart from sorting out a date to next meet (no sex involved at this point) strictly dating. I have tried initiating contact between dates but he says he is very busy as he has a lot on at the moment and I don't want to keep trying if that is not what he wants

I feel we will get to know each other more if we communicate between dates and I really like him so I miss speaking to him in between. On the dates he seems really interested, surely we wouldn't be up to the 4th date if he wasn't interested but the lack of communication between dates suggests to me he is not interested!

Opinions/views/suggestions all welcome. I'm really confused! Do I end it now before things go further? As I say, I really like him but obviously not enjoy the lack of contact/communication before dates.

Should I speak to him about this? How would I phrase it without sounding needy?

P.s. he is 100% single so I know that is not the reason.

Seems to be 50 50 in responses. I suppose time will tell. May be he will become more interactive as we progress, only time will tell I suppose.

It's how you feel about the situation. If you're still hoping for him to be more interactive and he isn't, speak to him before you become more invested.

It wouldn't bother me tbh, not if I really liked him and he was interesting and engaged when we were with one another.

If he wasn't interested in you he wouldn't be dating you. The no contact between dates I can't explain but I'm watching with intereste.
