Have been chatting a man online from an app for over a week now but not sure how interested he is and whether or not to just bite the bullet and ask him out on a date.
We started off exchanging 2 to 3 messages a day on the app and he was the first to initiate a voicenote which I reciprocated with. He sounded nice and friendly and chatty. I decided that I wanted to show that I was interested and maybe ramp things up slightly, so I sent him my number and asked him to message me on WhatsApp, thinking that might get things moving a little bit.
Since then the messages have fallen to just one per day rather than increasing. He will reply to my message in the evening, I will send a response (which he reads) and then he will reply to that message 24 hours later the next evening and that pattern has continued for 4 days now. As a millennial who spends a lot of time on their phone this seems rather slow to me and wondering if it indicates a lack of interest or is this perfectly normal in the OLD world?
Should I just bite the bullet and ask him out? I feel like I've already expressed interest my side by giving him my number and generally reply to his messages within a couple of hours when I have a spare moment.
