We flirt a lot and talk about everyday things and the future like he said he hopes he would get an invite to my birthday party which is in a couple of months, we got onto the topic of going out and he was saying how he couldn't do sex with no strings.. His messages are polite but they always end in good night kisses and/or morning hugs. But i would just like to know at which point do we actually start dating?

He's treating the relationship as something he can enter and exit whenever he feels like it. I was upset and after a bit more texting he said that I am a lovely lady looking to settle down quickly and deserve that and hes not after a commitment and wished me well and a safe journey home. That he could be busy now and that is fine, but that it doesnt match with me and my standards. One guy said he used to date a girl in Manhattan and it was fine.

The next day, as we parted ways for work, we kissed, and I asked him if Ill see him again and he said : yes, lets do drinks again. He wasnt really communicating as how he did beforehand. I tried to reach out again, but he replied after one week, that we have to arrange later this year . I havent felt like that in a very long long time. I think this put him off. Because of Xmas and him moving, I had visitors then travelled and his sister and family came to live with him, we never actually got a chance to meet. Please tell me, I need someone elses perspective since I dont think I can make anything coherent with my current train of thoughts. The next week the texts tapered, and then he stopped responding.

I think you know the answer. Its 8 months in and we still dont have each others phone number. I dont feel that is the case anymore, nor did i deep down. Hope this helps! Dont tell her how amazing she is or how much you like her. Hi Bobbie, Up until this summer, he was engaged. The date was fine and he seemed down to earth and interested to me. My husband is very controlling, abusive and I am extremely unhappy. So what do you think. I have no idea what hes thinking. Today was the first day during a work week he has not sent a text about being off work. Its time you tell him youre enjoying getting to know him but the only way to truly do that is to meet in person. I guess he is just being a gentleman? I really like texting and would like to do more of that with you. I feel confused and if i was encouraging enough.

I brought it up to him and told him it makes me feel like hes not interested, so he said that he is not a big phone person and that he would work on it. He then gave me his phone number and thats when the texting started. I was surprised and suspicious that I left such an impression and asked how come he came back to me.
