So basically I've been 'dating' this guy since the start of the year, we've been friends for about 6 months but he started speaking to me a lot more around a month ago. We met up a few times in college and got on really well, we texted often, I've even been to his house a couple times and visited him at work. He would always hug me/kiss me and hold my hand in public whenever we were together. The last time I saw him was over two weeks ago, and everything was fine then. He's been pretty bad at texting since we've been seeing each other; I've usually been the one to start the conversation but it never bothered me because he always seemed like he wanted to talk, and to meet.
Since I last saw him we've hardly texted at all; he would reply to me for a bit and then stop replying or the conversation would just seem to die off so I wouldn't reply. I asked him over a week ago if he still wanted to talk to me and he said 'yeah i'm just busy at the moment'. So I left it for a bit, texted him again last week asking if he wanted to meet me in college, he said he couldn't (because he had a doctors appointment) so I then asked if he wanted to meet at some other point in the week. He then said he didnt know when he was next free, and could he let me know. I said 'yeah as long as you still want to actually meet?' and again he just said 'yeah i'm just quite busy at the moment'. It's been 5 days since that conversation and I haven't texted him but nor has he texted me. I'm so confused, is he genuinely busy? Or is he trying to avoid me/lost interest and hasn't had the courage to tell me?
I don't know what else to do, I've asked him twice and each time he has said yes. I don't know if I'm overthinking this, or whether I should just give up on him/confront him about it all.
Please help!
