We recently met in person we have met 5 times so far he doesn’t let me pay.. at all at restaurant and coffee later. He even paid for an expensive stand up show. To watch for January 1st. It seems like things are going slow he hasn’t initiated any physical touch yet I don’t know what to think of this. He also isn’t messaging much. When we were fully online he would message every day. He replies asap when I message him though. He also plans new dates for next time. We are meeting again this weekend. Last time we met was January 1 and he didn’t message me fir 2 days all. Not even a hi.
So I don’t know what to think of this , does he like me? I mean why would he ask or plan new dates also paying for everything. If a guy likes a girl as a friend only would he do all this?
Is the messaging a sign that all this is simply being friendly
