Annoying text - what does he mean?

I posted about this guy a few days ago on here (saw him on sat night and he was really nice and like him etc) we were texting today and i said are you free any time this week to do something and he texted back going 'Maybe. It's going to be one of those weeks hun so i can't say and I don't want to let you down x' ... i'm not quite sure what to make of that because it sounds like he doesn't like me and everything seemed to be going ok up until that point.. sorry for being so pathetic but wanted to know if i'm reading into it too much by thinking he really doesn't fancy me :confused:

Yeah, I think you're reading into it a bit too much. What I think he meant is, he doesn't want to give you a date+time, only to cancel in a few days because he realises he has to do something.

Don't worry about it...

Lol I know he is probably busy but it just makes me think he only wants to be friends with me :frown:

"don't want to let you down" sounds like he cares but is genuinely short on time to me.

at least the "hun" bit is a start?

i reckon he's probably just got a few ideas in the pipeline about what he's doing but nothing definate so doesnt wanna make plans with you and cancel them for something which he'd half planned which then became definate later.... which would give you the impression that he didnt wanna see you.

So positive i think :smile:

SEriously....overanalysing much :p:

? He might be busy/playing games. Either way he's interested. And trust me, that text could have been a lot more ambiguous - the fact that he called you "hun" and he "doesn't want to let you down" are strong positives. Wait it out!!

Lol i tend to overanalyse everything :redface:

What if he doesn't text again though? I replied to his text saying ah ok cool well let me know so i'm hoping he will. dammit I hate these situations :mad:

Yeah from that txt I think he's just got a lot on just now and not a lot of free time and would rather not make a date at all than make a date and have to cancel on you last minute when something comes up-I wouldn't worry about it

it sounds like he's busy. that's all, plain and simple. give him a bit of time, then if he hasn't texted by next week, ask him again... if you get rejected again, then you know he's not interested. but it does sound like he's just genuinely busy :smile:

Won't it sound a bit too eager asking again next week though?

well, if he hasn't got back to you by then then i don't think you've got anything to lose by asking him - i'm presuming he will get back to you all on his own. but if not, give it a go... there's nothing worse than missing out because you were too shy to go for it.

I don't know if asking him straight off is the best thing to do - maybe wait for him to suggest a date, because if he can't make it you'll probably assume he's not interested even though the rest of us can see that he is! Or maybe ask him when he's free next week after he texts back :smile:

well I wouldn't ask him if he is interested (It doesn't usually put me off but it will spook some), Yeah If there is a party (I would try 2 make it one that you can have him all to yourself, but thats just me) that both of you would like to attend (a friend of you that he wouldn't be going to if he didn't know you perhaps).

Otherwise the "are you free next week" one is good because the exact response will tell you a lot, i.e. what he says and how he says it.

good luck.

I think he probably does like you, but don't read too much into the use of 'hun'. I call everybody that.

Yeah, some of my friends call me that so i'm not thinking that's a sign he likes me, let's hope he gets back to me otherwise i guess i'll just have to give up :frown:

calm down. you've only met him once!
lots of people dont like giving people exact times for meeting up before they're sure nothing else is gonna come up.

Men don't play games, so I wager he means that it is going to be a mad week, and he doesn't think he can fit you in.

You know, it baffles most blokes when they see girls trying to work out all the secret meanings and codewords in their calls/texts/e-mails. For the most part, men just tell it like it is.

It doesn't mean that he doesn't like you. It just means that you are not important enough to him for him to drop other commitments or cram you in to a full schedule. Give the man some time!
