Text or not to text

Guy been seeing has not texted and it’s unusual. Initially we texted loads at the start. It calmed down after a few weeks to a few texts everyday, like a check in. That’s normal as things relax. However he has gotten into a habit of not reading last evening message and then replying late the next day. Can see he has been online during the day. But he will eventually text.

Today no message and not read the last evening 9pm text. He has been online, still grey ticks. Over messages had been jokey and didn’t really need a response. I did say I was out tonight and had been out for dinner 3 days in a row.

I think I am overthinking everything. Arranging next date and due to childcare he can’t make this weekend (alternate weekends for his kid) and other days I am busy. Suggested Sunday or Monday and he said Monday best. Last saw him on Saturday. He seemed keen, very attentive. Messages during the week. Still the annoying thing of being online and not responding.

I know he is not well, had a bad cold and is working full time and starting up a business. So is he busy or losing interest? Should I text him?
