Why do guys always try harder when they realize they’re losing you?

Currently going through this and it’s honestly pretty annoying. Long story short, I have this guy in my life that things just don’t seem to work with since he is so busy and can’t make any other time for me except late night, once a week (I never go, but he still asks). Anyway I’ve met someone new, who is just as busy but makes time and effort. We went to the bar 2 nights ago, and I’m pretty sure the first guy saw because he was calling and texting, asking to please talk. Then he texted the next day say “things won’t always be like this, once I finish this project and things settle down. I’m really interested in you but just need you to hold on a bit”. It’s so frustrating, like why try hard now that I’m backing off?

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I’m going to focus my attention on the new guy, since he’s been more consistent and actually trying. Happy Holidays!
