Dear Sara:

Reads to me that he has a lot on his plate, a whole lot, so I tend to think that the answer to “Busy or not interested” is Busy.

Problem is that you may have pressured him and that was just too much for him. In the very beginning, I am thinking, seeing you was relieving his stress. But if you pressured him while his life circumstances became more stressful in themselves (moving, ongoing contact with his parents, applying for jobs and so on), then the beginning relationship with you was no longer a relief of stress, but an increase in stress.

And it has been a beginning relationship, new. He definitely was enthusiastic though, at the very beginning. Can you handle waiting for him, lowering your expectation of the frequency of his texting and dates, if the relationship is to continue?
