Hi everyone - haven't been on here for agesss but I have a problemo.
See, three weeks ago I was clubbing with my friends, and one of my mates brought along her boyfriend and his friend. Me and the boyfriend's friend were dancing a lot and then we made out on the dancefloor. Since then I gave him my number, he texted straight away, we texted for about a week then I asked him to meet for a coffee even though he had loads of stuff on. We met up, he was buying me my coffee, pulling chairs out for me and that. We talked and laughed for about an hour, it was really nice and I felt really relaxed with him. Then afterwards he walked me to the bustop, said it was really nice and he kissed me goodbye.
Now, I was really happy about all this!
It's been eight days since that coffee. He had a really busy week on and he wasn't just saying that, he told me everything he was doing each night. Since then I've had to initiate the texting but he always replies rapidly and seems very friendly. Today we were chatting, and I replied to one of his texts with like a small proposition "so fancy meeting up next week sometime?" completely casual, and he hasn't replied!
I mean he was at work and he is going out tonight, so it's possible that he's busy.
Thing is I keep thinking, the reason he's not initiating the contact or asking me out is because he's suddenly lost interest, and heaven forbid, he's just not that into me.
Like most women I make excuses with this sort of thing, like he's shy (which he is but even if a guy is shy if he's into you he asks you out, right) he doesn't want a relationship (he had a long term thing last year and doesn't want anything too serious) he's just really busy (again, he is very busy)
Another few things - he alway apologises for not getting in touch and likes to ask me all about what I've been up to, remembering little details about me and that, he wasn't embarassed when he introduced me to his friend, he went to the theatre and thought I would be there (different performance times) and actually said that he had been looking out for me, everyone who knows him says that he is really nice. AND the boyfriend said that he thinks he really likes me as he blushes and goes quiet when people ask him about me.
I am actually freaking out here! I mean, he seemed like he really liked me, right? So what have I done to make him lose interest?
Oh.
Wait.
I didn't allow myself to be chased! I did the chasing when he needed to do a bit.
So what do you all think?
Should I not contact him at all for a few days and see what he does?
Should I just completely drop it and is he not interested at all?
