Why does he reply late, is he losing interest?

Question

So me and this guy have been talking and went to the movies and it was fun and all.. he then texted me he had fun and that we really have to meet up again.. but since yesterday he seems quiet distant and I don't know why.. I know when he is busy and when not but this time it took him 12 hours until he replied and it was just an "okay" but I know he has been online so it seems like he was ignoring me for a bit.. so what might it be? Is he suddenly losing interest or something..

He could just be quite busy, not know what to say or maybe he is going through something that requires his rapt attention. Because of the timeline it could be that he lost interest after the first date or it could also mean that he is dealing with other things for the day. I say wait it out for a few days and if the behavior continues then you can talk to him about it. Depending on his response you may or may not have your answer!

Some people do it to try and make you more interested. Just straight up ask him

maybe he's busy, and thats it. or maybe not. the only way of knowing is asking him, cept that he might not want to give you the right answer, and that shouldn't matter. texting is suposed to be answered whenever you can answer it, as oposed to a phone call, where you have to answer at the moment of the call. you might want to give him a call, if its an urgent matter.

1/ He might feel the conversation looks more boring and uncomfortable so he's been trying to disappear from it slowly. 2/ He's just been busy. Give him more time or at least you guys should meet in person talking directly rather than in texting.

He may be busy with something you're not aware of. 12h is not that much, if you consider that he had to sleep and then do stuff.

Well I am always online too. Like, on facebook, messenger is always open on my phone, and on my computer, facebook is always open too, which makes me online even when i'm away. Wait a bit, and try again. If he doesn't answer after a day or 2, you can start to worry.

If he replied immediately he would sound needy. If he does not reply on time, now you got hooked on.
