Basically he'd shown a lot of signs of liking me before and recently I finally asked if he wants to hang out. No response and he's been taking long to reply to my other texts. However, he still approaches me and tries to talk, or sometimes stares to the point that it's annoying. He doesn't bring up the topic. Why won't he leave me alone? If he doesn't want to go out he should stay away. I'm so annoyed with this situation and considering seriously moving on. It's like whenever I want to leave he comes back and tries to get my attention again. This is so messed up and I'm emotionally exhausted but I've grown kind of attached to him. It hurts. Should I just kick him to the curb and never look back? I keep asking myself why this is happening. I feel like a fool. I would never lead someone on whom I don't fancy. It's just sick.

He's creepy but you are attached to him. Seek help from your nearest mental health professional.

Are you in the UK? I ask because you say you would never lead on someone whom you fancy. You got "whom" right and used "fancy," very un-American. I ask because different cultures interpret things differently.

The staring thing would bother me. You've offered him a chance to hang out and he hasn't taken it. My hunch is he doesn't want to date you---he wants to own you. He wants complete submission from you. I'm in the US and maybe in the UK things are different.

I think you need to get away from him and not look back.

I am having the same issues with a fair number or women on online dating. The chat is going well we are starting to get to know each other then the second I ask to meet them IRL for a sandwich or coffee they come up with every excuse and fade away, they go ghost etc. You are on a dating app did you not think there would be a date? All I can gather is that a fair number of the women are just as big players as the guys and just gather up interested potential partners and keep them in high orbit for reserve or to feel validation of their popularity.

As an ISTJ I wouldn't lead people on either. The second I determine a relationship is hopeless I end it so both sides can stop throwing good money after bad. I don't have the time nor energy nor desire for games.

Well how old is he? Often times younger men have no idea how to deal with liking someone.

Sounds like this guy needs some advice unless he's like 45 or something he may just be odd.
