Is he losing interest?

I met a younger man about 3 months ago and things have been great up until recently. We're not official.

He was texting day and night and we were meeting up on average twice a week. We'd just talk and talk and talk and snuggle.

He was busy with work in the past but I had been sensing recently that his workload has decreased and he has a lot more free time. He doesn't say that but I think so based on all that he tells me. I know he's been wanting to change careers but in order to do that, he needs to pass an exam. I'm sort of in that field so I've been helping him just a bit via text when he needs the help.

Anyway, these past two weeks, I noticed that he hasn't been texting as much. Sometimes in the middle of our skype text chats, he'll suddenly stop writing. He has stopped texting me day and night. And recently, he'll have seen the skype texts but won't respond till the next day. He still sends very short but thoughtful texts (maybe about 2 short lines) but it's not like before where he'll send hug stickers and etc. He has asked me when I'm free. I've responded to that and sent a short text but have been giving him his space so I haven't texted anything more. I'm just worried and hope he's alright.

Could it be that he's just busy? Or does it sound like he's just lost interest in me?

Am I doing the right thing by giving him
space and waiting till he responds?

I didn't really care much in the past but this distance is creating a change of heart and is making me miss him very much.

@starlumiere,

Dear, I suggest you to tell him what's real in your mind, if you feel hard about this kind of relationship.

Thanks so much for your comment. I've been really thinking about telling him but am just afraid because I'm not sure whether he's playing games.

@starlumiere,

I don't think he is playing games but is it possible that maybe he is pulling away a bit as he might be afraid of what he feels and not sure what to do. What is the age difference as I can't see this being the problem. However if you are projecting a concern over it he maybe thinking you have an issue with it even though it is not talked about. Not sure if this helps but it occurred to me when I read what you wrote.

@Butterfly1,

Thanks so much for your response.

I did end up texting him everything I was thinking.

I was just afraid that he saw it as a fwb kind of a relationship but he let me know that it's not the case at all and that he thinks we have a beautiful relationship and that he's not seeing anyone else and that he thinks I'm very sweet.

I'm just insecure because he's never really told me his feelings about me so I figured that he didn't see much worth in me.

I do like him very much and am starting to care and am also very scared.

@Butterfly1,

Yes, I did also mention the age difference and that it's bothering me but he just texted that he feels like we have the same mentality.
