So I'm in the early stages with him. He asked for my number and is nervous around me, which was surprising because he was always very confident and self assured. He text and said he liked me and he liked talking to me, but lately things have been weird.
Every text has been initiated by me. He takes days to reply, and often only texts one or two words. It's dry and non engaging. I know people aren't always great texters so I'm trying not to read into this.
Our last time out together (unsure whether it was a date) was initiated by me, and he was not great. There were times I was facing him and he was facing the other way, so I could only see his side profile. It was a very casual conversation and he didn't really seem bothered. At the end he did say it was lovely to see me so I thought oh, it might nerves.
I decided not to text him first. I don't want to play games but I wanted to see if he'd reach out. Two days passed and he didn't. So I caved and text him asking if he'd like to meet up for lunch or dinner. He replied saying he thought I fell out with him. I asked why he thought this and he simply replied "Don't matter". I said it does. as I don't want him thinking I'm annoyed. He replied "Just me overthinking", and I prodded again and said what are you overthinking. It's been a day, and he's not answered despite being online. and obviously seeing my message.
It's bizarre as he was never this weird before, when we used to chat as friends he was confident, and forward. Now he's just being so weird. Is it nerves? Will he look back at this and laugh in 6 months time. Or am I wasting my time with someone who's not ready.
