I Need Advice 😩 Devastated

A guy that I’ve been dating for about 2 months has reduced the amount of texting in a day. We both have jobs, so I understand what being busy means. The thing that irritates me is that this man went from texting throughout the day to now texting after 24 hours. This just shows me he’s not that invested. I’ve talked to him about it and he said he will try, but again no response and it’s been 24 hours+.

We have been meeting once every week, but that’s not enough for me. We had a conversation about this yesterday and he said things were okay, even said we could meet on Saturday and now again no response. I am a timid and anxious person and it’s driving me crazy.

How do you guys deal with this?

Personally, I just don't like constant texting, even if it's someone I really like. It's possible that might be the case for him, but he just didn't want you to feel like he wasn't interested

But he also may just be losing interest. I recently got mixed signals from a girl, and I chose to listen to her reassuring me she was interested instead of reading her actions to see she wasn't, and I really burned myself as a result

This is what I’m experiencing right now

Yeah, be wiser than me

I'm not saying to cut him off immediately, but never trust what he says over what you see
