Is this guy playing mind games?

MARRIED!!!

No intention of meeting you.

I think he is just being polite and thinking 'oh I must text so-and-so because I didn't do it yesterday'.

I don't think there is anything else there.

Yeah I have heard that many times, but wouldn't he delete my number if he wasn't interested at all. Why keep my number and still be communicating with me? Men are confusing. If I wasn't interested in someone I would delete their number and move on. Not keep them in my phone book and start conversations with them.

You are instigating conversation with him. He is responding with one word answers or directly answering a question. I think that is called: being civil.

If you stop texting, and he likes you, he will contact you to find out why. If he doesn't, then he's not interested.

Lots of people never delete phone numbers. That means nothing.

I find texting quite hard work - but maybe it's because I haven't got a good phone!

Therefore, I wouldn't want to be doing long answers to in a text conversation. What sort of phone has he got - perhaps he just finds the typing difficult.

But if you are no longer getting any enjoyment from all this texting, just stop

You're flogging a dead horse! If he doesn't want to meet you, why bother communicating with him at all?

Seems a bit pointless to me, and not worth the effort.

You asked to meet up previously, but he wasn't up for it. But he still texts now and again. Question is, do you want a 'friend' that you never see in person, only ever have text conversations and even then doesn't ask you much about your life. It all feels a bit of 'what's the point of it all' to me.

Keep life simple, don't bother with someone that doesn't seem particularly interested in you.

If I were to be cynical, I think he might be one of these guys that likes having women's phone numbers to boost their confidence/ego a bit.

Why bother? It doesn't sound if texting him is the least bit interesting. Stop. If he wants to keep in touch he'll up his game a bit otherwise you'll have an extra couple of minutes a day to call your own again.

As you've kept his number, then presumably you are interested in him?

Is it just the mystery?

If you've been in contact for months and it's been such hard work, can you really see any point in continuing?

True. I have deleted his number from my phone. He's not worth it.

Why don't you use the phone to TALK to him instead of text - that way you'll know exactly how he behaves in a conversation....?

Exactly. I would have thought by now you would have moved on to phone calls at least.


A friendship that is limited by messaging or email must be seriously stunted especially if he's not really talking to you.
