If he gives you a bad gut feeling, then listen to it, trust it. I was working on the assumption that while you didn't feel he was doing anything wrong, your Mother did and you were seeking opinion as to whether or not she was right. If you think he's acting weird then trust yourself.

 

But it's impossible for people to say, when we don't know the context, or the manner in which he said it (and people can read intonation from a text if they regularly send them). For example, 'oh that's awesome, I didn't know anywhere around here did the classes, where you going?' is quite different to 'you're doing Zumba? Which gym? I will come with you' or whatever.

 

If you're not into lengthy text exchanges, just tell him. 'I generally text when I get some free time, so don't expect me to be replying within ten seconds :p'. If he has a problem with that, then you have a problem. Personally it would turn me off someone being desperate for me to reply to them within a certain timeframe, it would seem clingy. Some people don't mind, everyone's different.

I wasn't sure.

He also did a similar thing about a missed phone call. "Why didn't you answer when I called you the first time?" He sounded :mad:. I had stepped out to the bathroom
