Have I been dumped? You, the MNs decide...

Can't believe I'm in this movie yet again, but the jist is...

single mum in very small town, been seeing a lovely, kind, gorgeous single dad of said town for about a month. We've been taking it very slow (didn't kiss til 5th date and we've had great sex the last two times we met). However, he is very wounded, as XW left him for a childhood sweetheart and he doesn't really seem over it, despite this being 2 years ago.

Anyways, as I say, we were taking it slow but really I was starting to fall for him.

Then last Thursday, he cancels a date saying he has flu. I believe him and wish him speedy recovery, as he was due to take his kids away on holiday the following day.
I text him Friday hoping he's better and wishing them a fab time. He replies politely, but with no terms of endearment and no mention of when we're going to get together when he's back from holidays.

Now, he's on holiday with his kids, so I don't expect him to be texting somebody he's only been seeing for a month., but I would have felt happier if we'd arranged a date before he left. I've had no contact for 3 days now...the longest in our month together (he usually texts me a couple of times a day) Do I presume he's lost interest or do I remember that he's (rightfully) putting his kids first and may well contact me when he's back.

I'm over analysing, freaking out, but I just feel that he's lost interest and I'm very
It's ages since I've been dating and I feel woefully out of practice! Desperately trying not to check my phone every 5 mins and feel like a right sad bastard

So, to put a stop to this nonsense: am I dumped, or am I not?

Honestly, it sounds like he is backing off. Don't contact him
