Dating… am I expecting too much?

[flowergreengee]

I went on a first date (OLD) with a man, and it went better than I expected. Conversation flowed and there was definitely a spark!

He isn’t the most amazing texter though. He was definitely a little bit more chatty at the beginning and now he seems to just reply.
I figured maybe he wasn’t interested, however he then texted me saying he really wants to see me again and he had a great time. He doesn’t live the closest and he’s even been saying about rearranging some of his work next week so that he can see me.

I feel like if he wasn’t interested he wouldn’t do that?

I don’t know if I’m expecting too much, he can be very slow at replying. He told me this morning that he’s got nothing planned for today, and yet he’s left me on delivered for over 3 hours mid convo.

Am I expecting too much? Is he interested?

He sounds a bit hot and cold. Don’t get too invested, back off a little and see what he does. If men want to make something happen, they do.

Many men disliked texting. Personally I am too. It's different when you see them face to face. So I wouldn't worry much about it.

But there maybe other possibilities so agree with the other poster above, don't be too invested just yet.

Was it during his working hours?

Nothing planned could mean anything.
If I say I have nothing planned it means I've got nothing on outside the house..but I'll have plenty to do in the house and garden and can often lose track of time once engrossed.

Some people just don't like texting....if he's been consistent with this texting style then you know this is him, either put up with it or move on.

Another here (female) who doesn’t like texting as a form of conversation. For me, it’s for practical things like making arrangements. You can converse when you meet up.
