Hi guys!

So bit of a silly question and I'm sure I already got the answer but wanted some more opinions.

There has been a guy I've been speaking to online for a while now but sometimes it gets a bit frustrating. Some nights we can talk, and others he gives me nothing and ignores me. Most nights it's usually short sentences but the other night we had a good chat about his new house, he was showing me the map and talking about how excited he was to move in. I was expecting him to ask me over based on showing me the map but he didn't so I stayed quiet thinking I misread the situation.

The next day, he continued the messaging by answering my last one and calling me babe. He then asked for more pics. So I know this basically means naughty pics but I don't do that so we sent more face pics (although he sent me one pic that was about naughty of him in his underwear). He replied I looked cute and I replied that he did too. Then radio silence again.

A few days after that I said hi and was ignored again (I don't know if he reads them as I don't pay for premium on any sites or apps). A few days ago, I tried once more and he messaged back twice, once again one sentence answers. Sort of the "yeah going well :)" and another simple answer to a question (he is currently moving so I put it down to him quickly replying but its at 8pm at night so why stay online and not respond?).

So my question (which I have a feeling I already know the answer to) is - am I wasting my time with this guy?

He is pretty hot (at least in my books) and from what we have talked about, I am interested in getting to know him. I know that most guys online either block you or ignore you when they ain't interested but this guy is sort of in between. At first I thought he was only replying to be polite and sometimes I think that too. I can go hours or days before he replies to me in regards to anything and sometimes minutes. I use to put it down to him maybe getting too many messages or he just doesn't look at messages unless he wants to have a hookup. He has also only ever once began the conversation and that was responding to a question from the previous night.

I'm sort of new to this whole dating on apps thing and don't want to seem like I'm either too keen or clingy, but its a bit frustrating not being able to tell. And with restrictions still on, its hard to try and go out and meetup. I just sort of what to know if I should stop bothering.

What are peoples thoughts?

And tbh I think men are very simple beings as opposed to women I'm generalising here a bit but still, I guess we pretty upfront about our feelings ,hate to say it but seems like he s just there for fun I could be wrong but an upfront direct question would solve all that misery
