Inconsistent communication

I have been dating this guy for around a month now, it’s still early. I have spent the night a couple of times and things are going well. He initiates dates and makes an effort with them.

We have both said we’re happy with where things are at and excited to see where it goes. We haven’t labelled it but we have said we’re not looking for anyone else.

My only issue is, sometimes the communication in between dates is a struggle. At times, there’s a clear effort to make conversation and connect but other times it’s just empty and a little sparse.

We both have quite active lives so I’m hoping it’s just a case of him not really being a texter at work or when he’s busy etc. I can’t help but notice the first few days after a really good date, are when the messages are lacking. It then kind of builds up again towards the next date.

Am I missing something or overthinking it? I do have an anxious attachment style and some abandonment issues.

Thanks

I think it’s fine. Remember in ye olde days you would have had to wait for a letter to arrive in the post with all the latest news from the week. Now people expect multiple interesting texts a day. Don’t overthink it.

How old are you both ? I think sometimes that causes a difference in expectation with texting .
do you message him and he doesn’t respond ?
