So, I met this guy.. a local one. We went on a date and I received mix signals from him. There was a steady flow of conversation and at one point we went to a park and sat at a picnic table to talk. I had mentioned I was cold. Most guys would take advantage and wrap his arms around a woman to offer warmth and to get close. He did not. Having worked that day he was rather tired and ended the date abruptly saying that he was really tired. Said he wanted to go home and sleep. When I got home I went on Skype.. and there he was online. I took the initiative to communicate and said hello and asked how he was since he had been tired. He said he was fine and we started to talk about how the date went. I told him I felt he wasn't interested. He said that wasn't the case at all and that he is very interested, but didn't know how far he could go and wanted to respect my wishes to move slow.
Fast forward to a few weeks later.... We talk once in a while, but typically only if I initiate the conversation, with him doing so perhaps once or twice in the past two weeks. This is always through text or Skype... never on the phone. He says he doesn't like to be glued to his phone. Sometimes he doesn't even reply to my texts.. or we will be in the middle of a conversation and he will stop replying. When we do get to talking it is great. We share common interests and such. He also at that time comes across as interested. We have yet to get together again.. and only I have brought up seeing each other again, which he says he would like. Only problem is... it doesn't happen? Just wondering if I should move on.. or give it time?
he is not interested in anything beyond casual friendship....you are back up girl. best clue? his actions don;'t match his words. he is saying he is interested in case he needs you as a backup but he is online talking to others instead of seeing you in person.
I would move on and not even be that interested in a friendship because he is not behaving above board.

I think it`s time to move on. It`s only a part time romance, and since you seem to be most of the talking, initiating the conversations, it seems to me to be a one-sided romance, plus the fact he seems to be talking to you part time...what is he doing the other times!!!
If it was me for advice to you, I would say goodbye. You deserve better than this.
I`m sure there is some nice guy out there that would enjoy your company and you would find sincere happiness.

if you are the one for him, he will meet you regularly instead of texting, he will fulfill his promises, not only talk nonsense...and he has a lil bit jealousy...

It's also possible that he is interested but afraid of a relationship because of past bad experiences. I hate to say it but, if this is the case, he was likely a lost cause from the start.
