Wow, I really relate to what you’ve written. Pretty frustrating to be open and supportive and get that response in return. Could be that he is just not that much of a texter. Also, do you know what his relationship history is like? Like, has he had long term relationships or just more casual short things without a lot of depth? I think you know what sort of relationship you want and if he is able to be a participant in it, which sounds like he really hasn’t shown himself to be. But he might just operate at a different pace than you. And perhaps Anita is right – if you think he has potential to be the sort of partner that you want and if you really do *like* him, maybe try to be more assertive with what you want. Heck, even if he’s not the sort of partner you want, practice is definitely a good thing!
