Are most men this predictable?

[hotsummerfive]

So was lightly dating a man. Felt after a few weeks that I was initiating contact etc and got sick of it so didn't bother to text again when it was ' my turn' to reciprocate.
During that time I lost feelings as I felt he was too casual for my liking and not making the effort .
Lo and behold , three days later he sends a lovely long interested message which gives me even more ick.
What's he up to ? Is this a common thing in your experience, with a half assed man?

To be fair, it’s sounds like you were just as half assed really

“ Lightly dating” “ so didn't bother to text again when it was ' my turn' to reciprocate. “

he might have been thinking exactly the same about you

Exactly this

Maybe but we did text or talk daily for weeks as well as meeting a few times .

I'd say, thanks for the message but I felt we lost the communication, don't you think?
I wouldn't bother if you have to wait 3 days for a reply either. I've binned them off without a second though, if they take too long to respond as that doesn't match what I'm looking for.

he's Clearly not that bothered

If I was the bloke I would have probably binned the OP TBH, mostly due to her lack of effort when her turn to reciprocating

Honestly yeah most men are predictable, but I really shouldn't be talking as I only date women.

Tbh I'd find texting every day needy as fuck.
Maybe his replies were so lackluster because he was trying to hint that he didn't want to be tied to his phone all day for someone he was just 'lightly dating'.

If it has been going on for that long but you have only met up a few times, plus both are not putting in the effort at messaging. This doesn't sound like a relationship that is going places and not one where both people cannot get enough of each other. So what is the point. You are both wasting each others time and this could mean you miss out on someone that does rock your world because they think you are taken.
