So pick up the phone and call.
If no one answers stop answering back.

He has my number, he knows I'm single and all he wants to do is text. He is yet to ask me on a date. So he sees young women's "silliness and immaturity" but NOT his own.
Talk is cheap... This guy could simply have approached you as "sport." A game of "catch and release." Keeping you in his sights or on "the bench" so to speak in case something comes up. Giving you just enough attention where he's not forgotten, but you're not being bombarded. By no means do I condone this kind of crap, but I know it happens.

^This - Nothing wrong with reaching out and picking up the phone. I take this approach with women. I call, leave a message; if I don't hear back, the answer is already given and I move on. Simple...

It sorta takes a silly game player to even notice these things in the first place. How would you know that someone takes longer to reply than you did unless you're measuring time stamps? Why would you be counting days and tracking patterns?

Then text him on an 'off' day.

Grown-ups don't rely on their thumbs for communication.

I agree it does seem almost like a game...like let me make her wait a day between texts. I feel I'm getting too old for this crap...sad part is, he's older than me! But this is nothing serious, so I'm mostly amused by it.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has noticed this phenomenon. LOL

I think the OP is over-thinking this... guy could be shy and not want to seem like he is coming on too strong... something a lot of women dislike

Seems we men cant win sometimes... too much and "we are smothering them", too little and "he's not interested in me" or my favorite "playing games" ???
