I hope someone can give me some advice. I have limited dating/relationship experience and I need to figure this out. Here's the story:
I moved to a new area five months ago and tried to meet people online. I became online friends with someone and we talked often. Sometimes I wouldn't contact him for a couple of weeks and he would text me out of the blue. We finally met and went out to dinner. We spent 3-4 hours talking at the restaurant, even as it was closing. I was over the moon; the chemistry seemed good. The next week, we meet again. This time it was at my place. We had beers and talked, again for hours. Finally we kissed, and continued kissing for 2 hours. It didn't lead to anything, which was fine with me. It felt so nice. When he left, we tried to keep in touch. I would text him to say hi and try to start a conversation, but either he or I were at work and we didn't really finish our conversations. In one conversation I told him I liked him and wanted to get to know him better. He said yes he'd like that. But I started to notice that I was the one who was usually initiating the conversations, and so I stopped. He texted me a few days later asking me how my Halloween was. Finally, I texted him three weeks ago, and we had another short conversation that was cut off because he was at work. I haven't heard from him since.
Now, I'm confused. If he was interested in me, he would text more often and try to make concrete plans. If he wasn't interested in me, then he wouldn't respond at all to texts, or occasionally initiate conversations, or spend hours talking and kissing me. So, I'm confused. Any advice from the holders of wisdom? I can supply more information if needed.
