If a guy you are talking to doesn't text for a week should I be concerned?

We used to be boyfriend/girlfriend and he claims to love me unconditionally. We decided after the breakup to not fully break up and he claimed to need more time It's been three solid months of flirting and everything seemed good but suddenly he is distant again. Now it's been about a week since I heard from him. Keep in mind he asked me not to move on and claims to see a future with me.

You should be concerned.

This guy doesn't know what the hell he wants.

If he wanted you, he'd act accordingly. I'm going to ask you to look at his ACTIONS and not listen to his WORDS.

This is where women get confused. When the actions don't match the words, go by his actions.

If a guy wants you, he won't come off as "distant" and you'd hear from him.

I'd also like to remind you that the whole "week" you haven't heard from him?
He ate every time he was hungry and didn't miss crucial sleep.

So, you should not wait for him. Until his words match his actions, he's not worth occupying your brain.

Be safe and good luck.

Thanks this has been very stressful. He begged for me to not leave him completely but keeps asking for more time. He claims to want him but he seems stuck.

I meant me not him. I appreciate the help

Hmm... See I had this happen to me before when I was talking to someone and it was not good. The guy was losing interest and that was his passive-aggressive way of showing it unfortunately. But it may not be your situation- I would just hold out, don't text him first until he reaches out again. Don't wait on him though, carry on with your life as usual and distract yourself because if he doesn't reach out, it just means he's not the right guy.

text him and ask if everything is okay. If he doesn't respond in a week or so. Move on
