I met this guy on a dating site a couple of months ago. He was the first one to message me on the site. We moved on to chatting on Viber upon his suggestion.
He asks me questions about myself, what I did, etc.
I also ask him; his replies are usually short, and doesn't add details. When a conversation on a topic naturally ends, he is always the one who initiates a conversation, texting me hi, etc.
I don't replied quickly, because I'm not always online. He's kind of the opposite, most of the time he replies really quickly.
Even just recently, he initiated a conversation by messaging that he's currently in a location abroad. Naturally I asked him how the weather was, what region it's located, but he just responds to my questions and not adding anything. So I just replied, have a great time.
I'm wondering why he keeps on messaging me, if he's not interested? Why does he ask me questions, but doesn't say much himself? We haven't met in person yet. I've read about e-tethering and all that.
Possibly trying to " keep you sweet " should he ever meet you in person perhaps? Or if there's no real chance of ever meeting he enjoys flirting/sexting etc? Boredom?
We know nothing about this guy and neither do you. We have very limited information and it is all subjective things that you've told us.
None of us truly know.
I think she's generally asking what other men's opinions are of this situation. Like if I was that guy, why would I do this? (note: this is pretty much the entire purpose of this forum)
So, if I were this guy, yeah I'd be simply trying to cover my bases and keep you around for an eventual meet up.
As far as the short responses, well I don't always have something clever or substantial to say, so for that reason a lot of times I just answer the question. It's usually nothing personal against the woman. For example, I am talking with a woman online (Match) and she asks me how my weekend was (it's Sunday evening). I honestly have nothing to say, my weekend was reallllly dull (though it was relaxing).
He is bored, or is keeping you on the back burner just in case nothing better come along. Obviously not really interested, but talking to you while waiting to meet someone else.
Don't be a second choice...
Some guys will flirt and text and hover showing interest...but it is meaningless.
I detest spending real time with people I'm not into - but not everyone is like that.
Took me a looooong time to accept it. Some just like having a bunch of text buddies and they can enjoy you but not "like"you or want to meet in person.
If a real life meeting is not imminent I would cut bait.
He probably has a girl and he's interested, but he feels guilty. If you haven't asked, you need to. It's up to you what you do at that point.
For some reason, usually when you tell a girl you have a girl, they pursue you.
