I have been single for 7 months after leaving my 7 year relationship. I am very new to dating and need some advice.

 

I have been texting a guy I knew from a few years a go for the past 5 months. We went on our first date a month a go and have been on two further dates. The last of which we spent the whole day together. After our third date, last week, he invited me to come over to his house one evening. Which I believed to be quite a big step! This would mean meeting family members as he still lives at home.

 

I agreed to come at some point, but as my family were away suggested my house instead. I thought this may be a better solution as it would have avoided awkward introductions in our early dating stages. (I would never have slept with him or anything like that this soon. I get attached when I sleep with men very easily so I won't make that commitment with anyone unless I trust them) He seemed keen and said he would be over.

 

We text for the rest of that week, my car broke down and he even offered me lifts if I needed them with anything.

 

I then text him Friday, he replied twice and then never replied again. He NEVER does this. If he's going to sleep or going out for the evening he normally says, as do I, and we call it a night and speak again a few days later.

 

I left it for the weekend and then text him again on the Sunday, just to ask if he still wanted to come over etc. He said he couldn't make it as he was exhausted from work. To be fair, he had just worked a 7 day week. He again sent a few texts and then never replied again. But his messages weren't blunt one liners. They were full and lengthy.

 

I don't know what to make of it all. He's gone from being so hot with me I never doubted he liked me, to being cold and off in the space of a week?

 

What is the next step? Cut all ties before I end up getting attached and hurt? Or give him a couple of days and then ask him is something is up?

I'd give it a few days to see if he contacts you and if not you can ask what's on his mind. Then, if you still are getting the cold shoulder I'd just move on. I hate games like this.

Thanks for the quick reply :) I hate games too, what a shame!

Too much texting.

Texting is used for short critical communication.

 

He probably got fed up with that

This could be true! Although, I did put it to him last week when we met that I'm not a texter. I'm more of a caller. He said he never calls anyone, not even friends. So I'm not sure if that's it :)
