To me this is a sign of disinterest and indifference.
Then you have the person that complains that their partner constantly wants to know what they're doing and where they are. Maybe your friend is sane, sound, firmly planted and emotionally healthy. He trusts and doesn't give it another thought. That's called peace.

What you do on weekends can tell you about someone and is just something friendly to talk about. Even coworkers ask that question. Its not a thing where you're interrogating a person, but if you have any interest in a person its something that should come up and asked naturally if there is any romantic interest at all IMO.
somewhere on r/relationships will be a thread like: my girlfriend never asks about my weekend. should i dump her ?

Personally, I think you are dating a very wise and sensitive person with enough interpersonal skills to play a long game. You may have found a keeper.

I knew a man long ago who was dating a woman like that. She was great to be with and went out almost whenever he asked, but this was a good looking guy with lots to offer. One day he confided in me that the fact that she never asked and never told, was beginning to bother him a little.
He married her a year later. 25 years ago.
That lady knew what she was doing. Still does.
You had me till the last part. He married someone who bothers him? Why? And somehow this is a "win?" 25 years together doesn't necessarily mean it was a great decision; lots of dysfunctional long term relationships out there with people who like being unhappy, or playing games.

OP, he doesn't ask because he doesn't care what you are doing when you are away from him. Either that, or he has poor social skills and does not know how to converse. Is that someone you would consider a long-term or short-term prospect?

It sounds to me like the two of you are not exclusive. How does he answer when you ask about his weekend?

No everyone is different.

Maybe he has MUCH more interesting topics of conversation to share, than "what did you do last weekend". It's kind of banal, when you think about it. Relatively speaking.

Only if you consider the person you are dating to be banal.
