Should I reply to this guy or just ghost him for good?

I’ve been talking to this guy for 4 months. We’ve only been able to meet once as of lockdown. We’ve been video calling and texting ever since (some sexy video calls but nothing too explicit). One day, after a sexy video call that lasted almost 5h at night I tell him is my birthday that week. The day arrives and he doesn’t wish me happy birthday, 4 days later he texts asking how it was saying sorry he missed it but someone he knows died and he wasn’t feeling right yet he watched all my ig stories on the day and even posted one at an online wine tasting event. Then he disappears for another 2 weeks and shows up by replying to one of my stories and a selfie. I replied and he left me on read (not the first time this happens) so I decide to text him “Are you avoiding me? Honestly I don’t understand why you strike a conversation if you’re going to avoid me afterwards” and he texts back “Avoid you? I’m sorry if I was unexpectedly busy this evening!!! Was just saying hi... didn’t realise there was a time constraint by which I had to reply in..!” After this I left him on read and didn’t say anything else. He keeps watching all my stories.

Do you think he’ll have the nerve to text me again at some point?

He actually did came back! I knew it... he just reacted to one of my stories with this emoji 😍 but didn’t add anything else to it

Looool 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

He might reply eventually. To me it seems like he lost interest in you for some reason. I'd dump him and move on. It doesn't take long to text" Happy birthday". by the way, Happy birthday to you.

Hahah it was a while ago but thank youuu 🙏🏼😁

Well then I guess it's happy belated birthday then.

If you are asking this means you feel something off.
Let him go.

You’re not a priority. No guy is too busy to wish you happy birthday. Hard pass.

He has a shitty attitude it sounds like. You shouldn't have to feel nervous about minor confrontations like asking a guy why he didn't answer

[Asker]

That’s why I didn’t even bother replying back to him anymore. Do you think he’ll be coming back tho?

[Asker]

Cause I have a feeling he still might...

[Cam45795]

Most likely when he's bored with whatever else he's doing

[Asker]

Cause he keeps watching my stories as he’s always done until now and from the pattern it’s been so far he always ends up coming back at some point one way or another. If he stopped watching them I’d say he moved on but cause he still watches them all that’s why I’m saying

[Cam45795]

Ya, he'll reappear I'm sure
