Has anyone ever felt like random texts from someone you have dated feels as if you're being "maintained" so they can keep you around as an option?

 

 

I find with the current guy its almost as if he goes into a slow fade then comes back a few days to a week later with random "how are you's"? No real substance, but enough to make me go hmmmmm, ok, maybe he was just super busy and is interested after all.

 

 

Why not just go away? Why bother e maintaining?

Yes, and each time my gut feeling has been right - they just aren't into you and you're being kept on the back burner just in case option #1 and #2 don't work out.

Because you keep responding. He assumes you are still an option and likes the ego kick.

 

 

Agree with the other post. Ignore and delete.
