Men please answer?

Why do some men show so much affection prior to and on the first time meeting and then goes dry? Constantly texting, and excitement to short messages and late replies? He’d randomly throw in “let’s go out here or there” and continue talking to me.

They are excited to meet you and see if they feel attracted irl

So many mix signals. After the first date, he’ll take hours to a day to reply, but still say that he misses me and can’t wait to hang out. We’ve known each other for three or four months now and we’ve only hung out five times, that says a lot. I feel like I’m just an option to him at this point.

I’m trying to understand why taking a day to reply is a mixed signal

[Asker]

That’s how it started after our first date but right now it’s officially been a week since I heard from him

[BarryLiverstone]

If it’s been a week then it sounds like he’s focused on other things

[BarryLiverstone]

Have you asked him on another date?

[Asker]

I was about to send a whole paragraph but doing so made me realize that I should probably let it go. And yes, I initiated everything.

[BarryLiverstone]

At least you have thought about it and have a decision to help you move forward. It’s never fun always initiating everything right?

It must be something you're saying or doing. Or not

Because of lack of time.
So many responsibilities in life.
