Search Results: meeting a guy online

Hi! I am clueless and dumb in the dating scene so please don't skin me alive but still give your honest opinions please! I met this guy on a dating site 2 weeks ago and he seemed really interested in me and asked to meet right away after texting for about 3 days. I was a little hesitant on meeting as I've been on dates previously and had wasted my time getting played, so asked him to meet a week later to see if he was still interested. We texted back and forth for the entire week and met up. The date went really well, good connection, he held my hand and asked for a second date straightaway. I deleted my dating app a week ago and told him so when he asked if I was seeing anyone else.
So, two days after our first date, we met up again, though this time the conversation a bit dry and I was nervous. He told me he had deleted the dating app while we were on our walk then sat us down in a garden where convo didn't flow smoothly resulting in long awkward silent pauses. I tried to bring up convo but they ended dryly. He put his arm around me and after another awkward silence, gave me a little peck on the lips. We left and I walked him back to his car where he gave me another peck again, this time not mentioning a third date at all. After the second date, he didn't text as quickly as he did the first time, so I initiated contact first and thanked him for the date. He replied the next day but since then his replies have been slower than they were before. His texting tone had remained the same though. I'd also noticed he'd been online on the dating app recently too. I think it's fairly obvious he's lost interest but I like to be blindly optimistic at the wrong time, so someone knock some sense into me? Thanks. He's also quite a busy person so maybe that's why? Should I ask for a third date or leave it be :'(

I am at the end of my patience. I usually dont do things like this, (tell a guy I have feelings for him) but I've been so lonely at college and I don't know, I'm angry at myself rn.

So it all started a few weeks ago. he saw me playing a game on my computer in the lab, and said, "oh you play that too? thats so cool!" and I said yeah and asked for his username on the site. and he typed it in for me. Then, there was a meeting for people who were fans of the game and we were both there and the sparks just flew. He was asking me questions about myself to keep the convrsation going and went out of his way to shake my hand and tell me it was nice to meet me for the second time when it was time for me to go.
After that, things got funny. Once, he came in the lab and we started grinning at each other and he came over to tell me what a great job i was doing with the game i was playing. I grinned and told him I was using the hint button. he playfuly said 'you cheater' and went over to his usual seat. The day after this I was nervous and I decided to sit in the main library instead of in the lab. he saw me.
I was in the lab thouhg after that everyday waiting for him so I could see him. He NEVER came in. and this is SO not like him. he's ALWAYS in the lab. SO FINLLAY, he comes in, with a haircut, and goes to his seat adn sits down to work. wehn he gets up to leave, I look at him to see if he'll look at me to say hi, and he didn't, he just walked out?
Then he invited me to play that same night on teh site. I said 'sorry!' about missing his invite because I wasn't online. he didn't text anything back!
Then I waited some more days for him in the lab, and today I see him when I walk in, and he smiles at me and waves from his seat and I grin at him. I don't know. maybe he was just being friendly. but I'm crazy about him
