You get what you pay for.
When I was in a relationship, texting was vital. He and I lived far apart, and on top of that, I work nights 3x a week, so I can't go out or do anything. Texting was all we had and we were able to keep our relationship afloat when we couldn't physically be together. We were able to build and maintain a connection that way. But, I know texting isn't for everyone.

Personally I think it is nice to get a little text asking how your day is going, or something along that line. Men on the otherhand do not always think this is the case. I think you will just have to gauge how he responds to you when you do that and go from there.

So yesterday I texted him and he texted me back as soon as he read it (he has his Read Receipts on), but he didn't text me further and I didn't text him today because I was busy but also because I didn't want to be too pushy. He didn't text me either :/

But, we're supposed to make weekend plans tomorrow, so I guess we'll see how it goes

More importantly, do what you feel is comfortable.

I'm not "stringing along" anyone, I've been very honest and open about my intentions. It's all men I've met from a dating site, so they know I'm dating others and I know that they are, too.
You The Bachelorette ? Most of them don't end up married to the guy they pick.

Blimey, you beat me to it.

This might be good advice for someone who's not impulsive and who doesn't make bad decisions when acting on impulse. I'm impulsive and if I acted on every feeling I've ever had, I would have no job, no friends and no place to live, lol.

Sounds like you're doing it right by "being yourself".

Try to learn to relax a little bit and not be so hard on yourself.

Often relationships don't work. It's not your fault.
