Is he interested in me or playing games ?

I met this guy we hit it off in person and he took my number and contacted me. We have been talking it’s never been regular from the start. We been struggling to make a date as when I’m free he’s busy and when I’m busy he’s free. We finally had a date and when I asked if there was a specific time he said no, I let him know I would get back to him to confirm, a couple of days later I confirmed however he said he was busy and could we do another day or if I wanted to come watch him play football, which I declined as I couldn’t be out for the duration of his match. After that he didn’t respond to follow up. So I followed up, he let me know he’s been really busy at work ect and tired. I asked him if he wanted to continue getting to know each other as I didn’t want to waste his time or mine. He sent a voice note saying he’s having an issue with work and once it’s sorted he will have more time he added he’s not running away or hiding anything.

I just don’t want to be played or have my timed wasted if he’s not interested and I’ve given him the opportunity to leave it. Does this sound like he’s playing games or he’s genuinely busy ? (Btw he owns a restaurant and is also in the creative industry)

This is a complete non-starter, I'm afraid. He's fooling around.

If you have to ask, he is not interested.
Hes just not that into you is a helpful film.

Idk why people feel the need to lie, when you have given them to opportunity to leave it. We are both adults just say your not interested anymore 🙄

Um… perhaps he’s not interested in you and not playing games? Sorry I know you don’t don’t want that to be true

@HoppityBun thanks for your message. I believe it is playing games as I openly asked if he wants to continue talking, as I’m not here to waste time. It’s dishonest to say you want to continue if you don’t

He’s not that into you - but he doesn’t want to burn. His bridges and wants to keep you as an option .
Block / delete etc

No one is busy all the time with "work". If he wanted to see you, he would. Fuck him off before your feelings get hurt

No that smacks of speaking to someone else and wants to see how it goes but will pick back up with you if it doesn't work out
