Did he subtly decline my offer and I didn’t even realize it?

I invited someone I’m interested in on a little getaway next week… he’s usually quite busy but he’s kind of in between jobs right now so I thought it might work. This is how the convo went after I asked him if he wanted to come: “wow this is real cool! I’ll have to get back to you on this one. I need to free myself up. I will certainly let you know by tomorrow night.” Then I said: “no rush! I totally understand if you’re busy, I know you have a lot going on right now! Good night😊” then he replied with “ thank you so much for your understanding. It means a lot! Night” That was almost 3 days ago now, and I haven’t heard anything! At first I thought that he was going to get back to me… but now after not hearing from him I’m wondering if he subtly declined and I just misunderstood? Do you think I should text him to clarify? Or just wait and see if he messages me? I did say no rush.. so maybe he’s just needing more time to figure it out or I totally missed it and he basically said no already. Lol Thank you!

That was his answer…

Wait it out! He may still text you just needs more time to figure it out

Text him to clarify!

Whenever someone posts a question like this, I always directly go to the unknown. What if there was a family emergency? What if something happened to him? What if, what if, and on and on. So many things can happen that you are not aware about.

The only thing that I can (it is a guess) think may have happened is that he was being polite and declined because the offer was a bit too forward. A getaway to me means getting out of town and staying somewhere together.

If this is someone that you are just interested in and not dating, he may have found it too much for a first date or meeting. I know that I would react extremely surprised if someone I wasn't dating asked me to get away with them.

That may have been just his way of rejecting the offer politely. You can proceed a couple of ways. You can be patient and give it a bit more time or you can reach out to him. I don't think either is a bad option.

I’m just going to say what no one seems to want to say… It’s been 3 days? No contact at all? NOONE is that busy.

Even if there was an emergency: “There’s been an emergency I’ll contact you when I can”( that took 2 secs to type) …

Time is precious, don’t give time to people that don’t make time for you.

Fun and Free... I do not get it. Maybe his head was not clear with the job loss
