I have been seeing this guy since February/March. He's a bit older than me and has a high-pressure job and kids from a previous relationship, so even starting out we only saw each other a few times a month and texted a few times a week to check in or sometimes have a conversation. If I texted first, it was always a hit or miss as to whether he'd answer right away or it if it would take up to a day. I thought things were going fine. In July he seemed to open up a bit more, so I was definitely under the impression it was on the right track.
But since then it just feels different. He texts even less than before, which, while annoying, is not as annoying as the fact that he has basically blown me off the last four times we were going to see each other.
The first time he said he was busy at work and would let me know. I wait several hours, and since it was getting late we agreed to try the next day.
The next day (blow off #2) it was the same thing. He said he just had to finish a few things at work, so I'm waiting, waiting, waiting until he finally texts that he's done but he's tired and going home to sleep. At that point I'm annoyed, so I wait until the next morning to check in. He doesn't respond for a day. I text again the next day to say the lack of communication seems like he isn't interested anymore. He responds a bit later saying he definitely still is interested, just busy, and we set up another time to meet. We have a little communication between then and the day we're supposed to see each other.
However, when it comes time to see each other, he flakes again. He texts me he'll be at the meeting place soon. I wait for several hours (ran into some people I knew), and he never shows. I get a text the next morning apologizing that he fell asleep from his hectic travel schedule lately. Fine. We'll try again the next night.
I actually run into him that next morning and we have a quick exchange where he tells me how beautiful I am, yadda, yadda, yadda. Night comes, he says he's coming to our meeting spot again but has gotten delayed by his business dinner. Hours go by and I eventually text saying I'm not waiting anymore. Next morning I get another apology that his phone died and a promise he would ping me the next weekend, which would be right after coming back from another business trip.
Well, it's the Sunday of that weekend and I still haven't heard from him. Anyone care to help me interpret this? What should I do? Part of me wants to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm so sick and tired of the lack of communication and spending hours waiting.
