I've heard from guy friends that if a guy likes a girl, he'll find time to contact them. "He's Not that Into You" said something like that too. So I'm wondering - I met this guy 2 weeks ago and he seemed super interested in me, asking me about my school/life/interests/what I want to work in/etc. We laughed the whole time, making jokes. He was very sweet and interesting. We hung out until the bar closed and then he took me to grab a bite and chat some more (he paid for drinks/food/cab). He kept insisting we hang out later that day (it was already am) since he was going out on business for 3 wks the day after. I told him I couldn't cuz I had things to do. We kissed and he put his name and number in my phone let me know we would def text and keep in contact until he gets back. I was surprised when I didn't hear from him the next day cuz I'm used to guys always contacting me the day after meeting, but I figured he had to pack. The day after, I was in class and decided to send him a text (which I never do first) only because he was such a nice guy and I seemed so interested, so I didn't think it'd be weird. However, he took hours to respond, it didn't come until the am cuz he was 2 hours behind. He basically said that he had flown out that day and it had been hectic at work. I responded cuz i was up and said gnite. He texted me in the morning 2 days later explaining how busy he is, how he's working 12 hour days and apologized for not writing more. He said he would respond more later in the wk. I texted back saying it's ok. I didn't hear from him for 4 days, so I texted him asking when he's coming back and he responded right away telling me the date and his plans, where he's flying the next few days, etc. We went back and forth for a little bit and he went to bed cuz he had to fly out really early. It's been a week and I haven't heard from him.

I know he really is busy, being that he's been away on business during the week in different locations, plus flew to different places on the weekends to meet friends, but I'm sure he had time to text me when he was just hanging out with friends. He's gonna be back in town finally this upcoming weekend, is it safe to say I shouldn't contact him and wait to see if he contacts me? This is the first time I've ever texted a guy I met first, which I regret cuz it's the first time someone is acting so different from when we met. I really liked him and so did my friends that met him that day. i know if I text him he'll probably respond, but I feel he should be reaching out.

"If a man wants a woman, he'll swim thru shark infested waters"

That's a quote I heard one time.

I'm sure someone can carve out 45 seconds or so to send a quickie message.

He could be trying to gauge your interest. Guys love it when girls text first. Or, he doesn't want to come off clingy maybe. Plenty of reasons, and lack of interest might not be it.

Typically? no. But I don't like texting while driving, and I will not text you while I'm in the bathroom.

If you freak out after about 15-20 minutes of waiting, or any period of time when I tell you I'm driving, I probably shouldn't be texting you because you worry too much.

I've always felt flattered when a girl gets clingy with me.. Maybe I have some psychological issue?

Probably not a totally bad thing, if maybe a minor psychological issue.

I always give my women plenty of space. They also have a life to live that I don't always have to be a part of 100% of the time. I love being a part of my GF's lives, but I don't need to always be with them.

Some women are just clingy with the men they like. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I'm not one of those men who really wants a clingy woman, at least most of the time, because sometimes in situations it can't be helped.

Yeah, neither do I. To me it kinda speeds up the transition to "old married couple that never talks or has sex". But if she really wants to be with me, fine, I'll make time. Makes me feel loved.
