Is he just not that interested?

I’ve been on 4 dates with a guy over the last 2 weeks, date 1 was cocktails where he quickly asked me on a 2nd date before the date had finished, 2nd date was out for lunch a couple of days later, 3rd date I suggested a dog walk and 4th was another dog walk at the beach near his home. 4th date went well, he invited me back to his for coffee and we kissed…quite a lot! Texting had slowed down slightly, he is still initiating texts and last night called me and chatted with me for around an hour, we get on well and there is chemistry there. That was Saturday and he hasn’t asked to meet up again. I knew he had a big work thing yesterday, so thought maybe he was pre occupied with that and needed to get that out of the way first. He called me after his work thing to tell me all about it.
I like a guy to ask me on the next date, is he just not that into me? Do I ask him out on date 5 or just wait, as really it hasn’t been that long.
I’m slightly confused, I really like him and I’m used to guys asking me for the next date. I don’t want to come across as needy.
How do I go forward with this, any advice greatly appreciated!

He messaged this evening to say he couldn’t see it going anywhere, which is cool. I feel a lot better knowing than wondering.

I shouldn’t have second guessed myself, I knew his interest was waning. I know how a guy acts when he’s interested, now I just a feel an idiot for putting myself out there.

Don't be put off making that move. You were brilliant. Be proud of yourself.

Your instincts were there and look at the bullet you have dodged.

It's okay for you to ask if someone wants a date and it's okay to wait.

Onwards and upwards op.

You're not an idiot at all, the gut feeling on this is rarely wrong. I think the big work event muddied the waters because you thought (understandably) he may be preoccupied plus he had called. No harm. All sounds as though he liked your company, just not quite there long term. you handled this well.
