Men are so confusing

Annette

So I went on a date a couple of days ago with a new guy. This was our first date everything went really well. I even thought maybe my luck was finally picking up and that this might be something serious. Towards the end of the date, he kept asking that if he texted me if I would reply back. Of course, I told him I would reply back. So yesterday he texted in the afternoon. He had just gotten a break at work. It was a simple text to say sorry he hadn't been texting and that he just got a break. I replied back it's ok, I understand and I told him I really enjoyed our date. Then I don't hear anything. So I wait until the evening and I just sent a hello. He replied back a few minutes later. We texted for a few minutes, then he told me he had to go into a late meeting. So I don't hear anymore from him. I sent a text this morning saying good morning and I haven't heard back. He has the setting on his iPhone on to show when he has read a text, so I know he saw it. I don't know if he's working today. He's a network administrator. He said that he builds and maintains servers and phone systems.

When we were on our date he seemed really interested, especially after the nervousness went away. But now it feels like we texted more before we went out. I'm just not sure anymore. I feel like I haven't had the best luck dating wise, and I really am on the verge of giving up. If he's really busy at work then I understand, but before we went out if he was busy at work he would still manage to text me. I feel like I just played myself. I'm trying not to over think it. I just feel like guys meet me and think I'm not worth the effort. I'm just ready to say I'm done and accept that I meant to be alone.
