Someone plz explain guys texts!!!!

Been texting this guy and we’ve hung out a few times. Sometimes he’ll put x at the end of his texts and sometimes he won’t. Sometimes he’ll engage in convo and sometimes he won’t. What is this supposed to mean? I don’t want to keep texting him bc I don’t want to look clingy esp if he’s gonna give out mixed signals. What’s a girl to do? Today we had a small convo we were gonna meet but he said “let’s meet at 2 as long as it’s not too cold…” why the 3 dots bro? Like was he implying that he doesn’t want to meet? It was kinda cold today and I thought he didn’t want to meet like I found that text rlly forced as if he were trynna be nice. So I said “it’s rlly cold today let’s meet next week bc it’ll be warmer” so he said “yeah that’s okay it’s too cold today I think…” what does that mean bro? Is he happy or sad that we didn’t meet? And again why the 3 dots? Plz help a gurl out xxx
I really wouldn't read into this kind of stuff too much. Putting an ellipsis (the three dots) doesn't mean anything in particular. It's totally normal to engage in conversation only some of the time as he presumably has other things going on in his life and maybe he has limited social energy. I would never assume that he's just lost interest. He may be wrongly assuming the same about you.

"Is he happy or sad that we didn't meet" - That's one of the problems with text, that from the text alone, there's no way to know. Voice notes are better because then you get their tone of voice, and just video calling is best of all.

Yeah he’s rlly introverted tho like to get a good convo going j start most of them snd then he’s a bit more comfortable to talk. But it’s a bit mysterious like did he want me to say something specific?? Thanks for your help x
If he's introverted I strongly suspect that the uncertainty in his messages is because he doesn't want to suggest something that you're not happy with, hence why he gave you an out in the form of the weather being cold. And as it happens, you did take that out and rearranged the date. Which is ironic, because I expect you were both sat and home really want to meet each other, but both being too insecure to commit to it in case the other one didn't want to, and the end result was that nothing happened.

Stop over thinking this and just meet with up with him, regardless of the weather. You'll find out so much more that way rather than second guessing entirely innocuous texts.

It doesn't sound to me like he wanted you to say anything in particular. Honestly he sounds like a sweet, shy, and biddable kind of guy. Your best bet is not to try to read into and interpret what he wants, but more to just pursue what you want with him - if you want to go out and do something with him just say so. If you're really not sure if he's into something feel free to ask him outright.

Openness and clear communication is key! Have fun!
