Does he just wanna hook up, or does he have feelings?

It's hard to say what he's thinking, for obvious reasons, but one thing that does stand out here is that it seems as if he's being a little more consistent than it might appear - that is, he's being consistently inconsistent. If that makes any sense.

So, if you need someone with whom you can have deep conversations with every night, then he may simply not be your guy right now.

But, if you're comfortable talking here and there, whenever you're both able, but also having some time off in between, then let it be what it is for now, and see where it goes.

The only suggestion I might make beyond that is that slower starts sometimes lead to longer runs. Not always, of course, but the sudden "click" of liking a person instantly and wanting to be around them all the time can, in a lot of ways, be more about you than about them (and the same is true from their end).

 

I've actually been in a similar situation quite a few times, I was also on a hookup app.. & went through this with quite a few people; I guess I shouldn't really care since I was just browsing, & not seriously looking for anything, I was more a curious visitor to the site. But yeah I've had conversations with people & a few would initiate & then nothing, even when I started some of them, they appeared engaged.. then like that, nothing, I do think it is easier though, if people are just honest up front & not respond at all. & sadly I'm guilty of doing this to people a few times myself, I dunno it's a pattern on some of these apps, or sites.. & unfortunately I've yet to understand it myself, it's probably best to just move on from it, or distance yourself from the app, this option is better, I don't think most people on those things are serious, or properly receptive.
