Im so much confused what’s going on, so I thought my Reddit family is gonna give me some perception.
So, there is this guy, who is 2 years younger than me, we met like around 8 years ago, not like meeting for a dating, but I met him accidentally while traveling with his friend.
I had a little crush on him, tried to find more details about, stalked him facebook to know more about him, found out his is younger than me and gave up hope so I didn’t really reach out after my first meet.
2 years later, he texted me on my birthday wishing me happy birthday and told he took my number from his friend. I was happy to know he is interested in me. He lives in Dallas and I live in Delaware. So other than this age, we are mostly long distance.
A year later, I visited Dallas and we met officially the first time, he got me chocolates and he made it seem like a date and after the date he said he really likes me and want to see if this works.
I said I like him too, but we never met due to long distance (none of us put the effort because other than texting here and there, we never spoke on calls to keep that going).
I don’t know what happened but we have this huge gap in communication, he moved to LA and got busy(According to him) so we were not in touch really.
3 years latter we met again in Dallas when I visited Dallas, like this is our 2nd meeting and we went to a movie and had dinner and had ice cream and that’s it, I wanted to spend more time but situation didn’t allow for me. Hardly in touch texting here and there once every 3 months after this just to check if I’m still single and catching up, no intimate conversations
2 years after we meet again, this time again I met him when I went to Dallas on a business trip, stayed in a hotel, after our dinner, he offered if I want him to come upstairs to my room to take care of me (I was injured at the time, limping , injury was fresh and it was late, I had to start my day early as it was a business trip) so I told him, I have to rest and will meet him later. He knows the reason why I said no.
Now, he still texts randomly once 2 or 3 months, just to check if I’m single, and hints, he wants to date me and he wants to travel and come to Delaware, I said he is welcome, but he never came. He keeps saying he is busy every time I ask him that he texts randomly.
So now, my question is, is he really interested in me? Does me mean it when he flirts with me? Or was he just messing with my thoughts?
During all this between 2015(I met him) and now,he had a Brief relationship which ended in like 2 months according to him and he has always been single otherwise.. that’s where we had 3 years gap where we didn’t interact with each other.
Very recently we had like 2 hour long phone call for the first time, but the next day he is MIA, no text, nothing until 2 weeks. He has been “busy” as usual apparently
