What does it mean when a guy keeps conversation to a few words via text.. is he not that into u?

known this guy since jr high and he lost his virginity to me. We're in our twenties now. During the years we lived our own lives he would send me a message on FB asking how I was once in a while. when we would meet, we go out, and then we would talk and then I wouldn't hear from him. And then we dont talk for months. It happened this way a few times the last given years. We've had sex sometimes too when we met up. Anyway, fast forward. The past couple of months we've been hanging out often and having sex. In the beginning, he I guess was playing, because he didn't call/text me often after we've had sex. I would hear from once every other day Then the more we hung out, the more I started to like him. I told him I didn't like not hearing from him and that maybe we should move on because I don't want just sex. He said he can't help but be so attracted to me, and he'll try to take me out more. We hung out but at his place. Anyway, the more we hung out, he would say things like, "could u see yourself being with a man like me" or , "be my girl" I didn't say much except for "aren't I already" even though I changed my mind and just wanted to be FWBinstead. He started asking "when are we getting married through text and in person He went to Brazil for a week and asked what I wanted from there. We haven't established what we are, does he want more? And on the phone he said he was stressed I said why he then replied either lonely What does he mean? he called me later that night but I didn't answer as I was sleepy. He text the next evenings and this was how it went :

Him: hey babes

me: hey babe

Him:what's up? R u ok?

me: yes what's up with u?

him: missing u is that girl still annoying u?

me: not were ok now. What r u doing 

him: ok I'm at work

and then that was the whole convo..

is mis he just bored to talk with me? What is it

he's a guy, that looks like 90% of the text conversations I have with my girlfriend. If I have to put effort into texting I might as well just call cause i'd much rather talk to her than text her. And if I can't call her then one of us is too busy to text so might as well keep the text convo brief and to the point. That being said, it sounds like you don't know what you want you want to be his girlfriend or to be his friends with benefits... if you can't make up your mind why do you worry so much about what he is thinking? He wanted to move on to an exclusive relationship, you pulled back and said friends with benefits, ok so you are getting what you want or not? He sounds kind of annoying though, when we gonna get married , who the fuck says that stuff?

As long as he's saying anything in response to you at all he's probably interested.

Remember though its you women who are supposed to be and are typically the blabbermouths of a conversational interaction.

When we guys become blabbermouths it invites our self destruction as we either might say something stupid, bore you to tears or you might perceive us as needy beta males and friendzone us.

So its better for us to mostly keep our mouths shut and say as little as possible to keep you guessing about us and keep up an air of romantic mystery about ourselves.

What you women fantasize about us and why we are so quiet is more powerful than anything we can say to you about ourselves anyway as far as turning you on goes.

he might not be into texting. some people dont like to text. if he can keep up a convo when its a phone call or face to face, then he's just not a texter. if he can't keep up a convo at all no matter what, then he's not into you.

I wouldn't worry about him because he iniatiated the texting to check up on you in the first place. He probably just doesn't care about typing out a long drawn out conversation.

It could mean anything. Many guys just keep things brief. Especially because he's at work and doesn't have time to text extensively.

My boyfriend doesn't talk to me over the text very much until I call him he talks and when we're with each other in person he talks to me

Lol, no he is at work. Probably doesn't even had the time to Message you but still wanted to because he thought about you/missed you. And then it looks like this... also what I did once.. I wanted to act cool infront of her and did that intentionally. Just giving 1-3 word answers etc.. how childish and stupid I was.. anyways First thing is probably right. Just at work, doesn't have time, still wanted to have at least a bit conversation with you, and then it looks like this. No worries.
