Boy Drama 🙄

So I've been talking to this dude, I was wanna say like 2 and half months now. We're suppose to be working up to dating but these past few nights have been hell for me. He wakes up 9-10 ish we talk for those hours then he goes into work @12, if it's a good day he texts me while at work. Then he gets off @6 he'll text a for a minutes then after that he pretty much ghosts me man. I'll end up falling asleep and waking up to normally something cute but always with "my phone died, sorry." I'm pretty lenient with him, let him do him and it'll show me how he feels, you know. He's always with friends and just yikes. I know this is bad but I wanna make it work, anyone help?? & we do hangout, just not very often.
