Meredith,

I recently met a guy on OkCupid and we hit off right away. Our first date was a few weeks ago. After that, we started texting each other pretty much every day. We both work a night schedule so when we do text, it’s either early in the morning or late at night.

We’ve seen each other three times since we met, but since the last date, whenever I’ve tried to suggest a plan, he’s in the middle or something or he just ate or whatever. It’s been a little over a week now since we last saw each other, but he still texts. Sometimes he initiates them, sometimes I do.

I’ve mentioned some disappointment about his not wanting to hang out, and he tells me that he does, in fact, want to hang out with me. He even went as far as taking a picture of what he was doing after I gave him some attitude about giving me an excuse not to see me.

Do you think he’s just playing with me? Keeping me on the back burner? Or am I just trying to move too fast when we both talked about casually seeing one another?

– Too fast?
