I (M25) have been talking to this guy (M33) over the internet for two weeks now, and it was going great at first until a few days ago when he suddenly started talking far less. Then, after that, one day I was sick at home, and he kept me company all day, and we got a bit closer. When I got well, he started talking much less again, and I can’t really understand why. The first time he did that, I told him that if he doesn’t want to talk to me or if he is not interested, that is completely fine and it’s okay if we take different paths, to which he replied that he absolutely likes talking with me and there’s no concern for that. We’ve both talked about how we feel a kind of connection, and we both like each other sexually and romantically (as far as that can go online at least). Now that the “ghosting” phase is happening again, I don’t want to make the same conversation about how we don’t talk much as I kinda did that the first time. I just really wish I knew how he felt so that we don’t have to waste our time if this is going to keep happening. We live in different countries, so there’s that, and I’m visiting the city he lives in next month(not for him specifically). What am I supposed to do? I know that he is busy throughout the day, but I am too, and I always find some time to respond and keep conversations going while he only replies once every few hours. I just really like him, and he’s told me the same, but I can’t really see the effort on his side. I told him yesterday that i don’t feel very well and we should talk some other time but he didn’t really get the hint and then today he just messaged to see if i am feeling better to which i replied that i feel okay and once again that’s where the conversation ended. We haven’t put any labels or anything between us but the way he’s expressed he’s interested in me and also monogamous i guess i expected for him to talk more so we can get to know each other otherwise what’s the point?
