    Hi, I have a question. I’ll begin with a story. So I have been dating this guy since mid November. We both have kids so we usually get together every other weekend but we text each other daily in the morning a “good morning – have a great day” and ” good night, sleep well ” in the evening. Sometimes on his way from work he calls me before he gets home to his kids. Jan 2, I moved and he came out to help and I did not even ask him to. He did it all on his own. ( I thought it was sweet and showed he cared). Anyway, over two weeks ago we went out on a Saturday night to his friends birthday party. That was a Saturday night. We communicated on Sunday and shared some silly conversation. He said to me ” I have to get Joey (his son). I’ll talk to you later. I did not hear from him for 4 days. Even though I texted him in the morning like we always do. I finally texted him on the 5th night and said “you are either crazy busy or you are avoiding me”. He replied within minutes telling me he was indeed busy but was dealing with a personal issue and that it was going to be a stressful time for him. I apologized and told him that I was here if he needed a friend. I did not hear back. I texted him again about a week ago and said I was thinking about him and hoped all was well. Still have not heard from him. Should I continue to let him know I’m there or should I just back off and totally leave him alone? I just hope it was not me that caused him to back away so suddenly.

    Please, any advice cause I’m quite confused.

    Sincerely,
    Andi

    I think you should back off and let him come to you when he’s ready. You’ve already let him know you want to hear from him, and that you’re there if he needs you. Since it’s pretty early in the relationship, there may not be the commitment you’re hoping for, but I don’t think you should second guess anything. Just assume he’s not that interested any more if he doesn’t come around. I’m sorry it’s disappointing, but at least it’s clear.
