Search Results: should i ask him out again

I was on a Christian dating app, and I found a guy who lived close to me to hang out with in person. We both desire to be married. During the 1st date, we talked about our pasts, like dating/sexual history, family life, and the basics. We briefly talked about our faiths and encounters/revelations, but we didn't dive into that. He doesn't text super often when we are not together, so I started conversations a couple of times to get to know him more during our time apart. He wanted to see me 3 days ago, so we met and had a great time. I still don't fully understand some awkward moments, like him not feeling comfortable picking up a phone call from someone I didn't know while I was with him. I told him I can give him privacy, and he insisted it was okay, but his mood had changed drastically. Besides that, we spent 5 hours together and bonded a lot more, even though we didn't mention our faith at all during that time.

I told him I liked him while we were hanging out, and he said he liked me too. I asked if he wanted to go ahead and start a relationship with me since it was fair to consider how much we were attracted to each other during that time. He said he wanted to go on more dates before we reached that point, which I am fine with. He told me after the date that he had lots of fun, but the following day, I felt we weren't discussing the important things that should've been covered on the 1st date, like faith. I sent him a message asking him to pray about getting God's perspective about us before continuing to ensure that we are compatible. He left me on read, and I had to send a clarifying message the next day letting him know that I didn't mean harm with that last message and apologized for coming off strong. He said it was alright, he understood, but he had never heard someone praying for that. I thanked him and told him I had heard people receiving that information from God before, but I realized that people's experiences can differ. He left me on read again.

I see why women tell each other all the time to not date a broke/poor man now. My last 2 exes were broke and they were miserable. They ruined it for me, I will never date a broke man again. I would ask why they are so much more miserable than broke/poor women but I feel like I know the answer to that.

For context, we met up for first time from app yesterday & had two calls earlier this week. I was questioning if he was interested to begin with bc with the calls earlier this week, he’s the one that ended them in less than 30 min. And yesterday, he ended the dinner too because he “knew I had somewhere to go & didn’t want to hold me back” (told him I had to go out of town with family & would need to leave in the night). I haven’t heard from him since, he drove 45 min to meet me at a local restaurant, paid for the bill, walked me to my car & hugged me twice (in my opinion all common courtesy). He asked most of the questions, by now I’m just used to the guy reaching out maybe an hr after meeting up telling me they want to see me again or at least wanting to make sure I got home safely. I deleted the app yesterday but still have him on discord, he shared his # when we spoke on the phone earlier this week but I hid mine for safety reasons. Honestly I’m not interested in seeing him again, I just hate rejection. Also when we were msging earlier on, we didn’t talk consistently throughout the day like I’m used to with other people I’d speak with in the past. I’ve become lower effort in that sense bc I’m not as invested but if a guy is interested he’d pursue. Last thing I’ll add is he asked me maybe 2-3x if I had new years plans & kept telling him not sure yet/might do something with family. I can’t anymore 🙄. I’m giving it a week & if I don’t hear back from him, I’m deleting him from discord.
