I went to a different state for a job interview, and got the job offer. I am moving there at the end of this month. While I was there, I met a guy and he gave me his number. I was very interested and so I texted him. We messaged back and forth, but each day, I would be the first to INITIATE the conversation. He does respond back within 20 minutes or so. He's a busy guy, but I heard if you're interested you make time to at least text first. We plan on seeing each other once I get there.

During our conversations, he did say he was interested in me as well and thinks I am very cute. We are different- he's very outgoing, social, has plenty of friends, while I'm on the quiet side, laid-back, and calm. He said quiet and laid back is actually good for him. I don't know if he's interested in the fact that a girl told him she was interested in him or he likes the attention, who knows. I know it's too early you all say. It just bothered me that I would always be the first to intiate. Yesterday, I texted him and I hated waiting. I just made up my mind to not check his facebook, deleted his number so I don't keep texting him, just keep him off my mind for a little bit. He did respond about an hour later. I would've responded right away, but I just got so bothered. I ended up texting him about an hour and half later. He then responds to me RIGHT after I texted. Call it coincidence or my wishful thinking, was he waiting for my text since it was taking so long? or perhaps he was on the phone right then...

I feel like my day is being consumed by his thoughts. I shouldn't text him first at all anymore right? I told him I was interested, he knows that, now the ball is in his court, yes? Please help me.

Have you actually went on a date yet? It just sounds like you are obsessing.

I think he likes you, otherwise return texts would be slow in coming. Of course, you'll have a much better grasp on the situation when you get there, and I think he will be very happy to see you.

If he keeps texting back he's interested, you won't know how much until you move and actually go out on a date with him. You're driving yourself nuts for no reason.

I hate texting. Maybe he does too. I often send one, then put my phone down and go do something. Sometimes I am hours without my phone. It drives me nuts how people come to expect immediate answers from texts. It's not a phone call.

You heard wrong. Depending on what type of "busy" he is, perhaps he just can't text. He may be working at some type of job where he cannot text. "Twenty minutes"??? That's not very long. For example, if he is on a bicycle ride, it may be several hours before he even received your text. Don't be so impatient.

How old are you?

Sorry, I don`t really think he`s interested in you. When a guy is interested in a girl he shows her. He texts her. He calls her. He doesn`t wait for her making the first step. He said he might be interested in you, but he didn`t really say that to your face, he also didn`t ask you for a date. I think he`s just using you as a backup plan.

My recommendation: Stop contacting him. If he likes you HE will get back to you. If not, not.
