Why did he lie about liking me?

Anonymous

I’ve been talking to this guy for awhile and about a week ago was the last time we talked on the phone. So he claimed he’s real busy at work and kept apologizing about being inconsistent and how his job is short staffed and stuff. But I feel like he doesn’t put in effort to actually set up a date like he said he would before. So after talking for a few minutes I asked him how did he feel about me and he just said “I’m interested.” And then he asked about my work schedule cause he wanted to try taking me out.

I told him what my off days were, but it’s been a week and I haven’t heard from him. Even tho I felt his tone wasn’t really genuine over the phone so I assumed he lied to shut me up.

Imma move on tho but why don’t guys just be honest? I felt lead on but after not hearing from him. I tried being understanding cause he said his workplace has been rough but that could’ve been an easy lie or sympathy card so I wouldn’t ask him about dates or even me asking him out myself. *Deep sigh*
