guy troubles

so ive been seeing this guy i met on tinder since april. i really enjoy being with him and for the most part he makes me happy, but he's SO shit at communication when we don't see each other in person. i could go days without talking to him and though it's frustrating for me since i WANT to talk to him all the time, it's like it doesn't bother him and he doesn't care. we 'broke up' for like four weeks (my decision, it was less breaking up and more me just ghosting him in frustration) because this issue just got too much for me, however we got back together last week because the way things ended was unresolved and i hated not knowing if he truly didn't care about me or not.

for the last week things have been great, amazing, but i texted him yesterday asking for a favor and he asked me what the favor was after like three hours and when i responded, i got no reply. i know he takes forever to respond to message, which i HATE but ive learned to deal with, however it's been 24 hours and he STILL hasn't responded if he'll do the favor for me or not and im just so damn frustrated. i really like this dude and when we're together things are amazing, but at times like this he makes me feel like i have to beg him for small things like this even tho he's always telling me im able to rely on him. these moments truly don't make me feel like that's true and i don't know. we're still not official and that makes it worse because i still question if he even wants things to be serious with me or not. this is also my first romantic interaction of any kind.

im just so confused and frustrated, and im tempted to just ghost him again for my own sanity but i also want to TALK to him and sort out his feelings once and for all. im not the type of girl that needs to be a guy's number one priority but i also hate feeling unvalued and not worth the effort. idk man

UPDATE: so i posted this on aug 1st, and it's now sept 8th and we officially broke up for good like last week. things came to a head with my frustrations and he was regretful that he wasn't able to make me as happy as i could be so we just decided to amicably end things.

im sad but honestly the fact that there was closure between us helps me foresee being able to move on. it sucks because i was falling in love with him and we were good together but this might be for the best. if he's meant to be in my life then we'll be brought back together, but right now ill be focusing on moving on from my feelings for him and finding new ways to keep my time and remain happy.

im just glad there's genuinely no hard feelings between us, especially since we go to the same college and live in the same small town 😂

UPDATE AGAIN: i doubt anyone cares, but its aug 30th, two years later and we're kinda dating now lol. we've texted on and off in the last two years, shared a phone call once in a while, a lot of awkward flirting that went nowhere, but never anything more serious like now. we finally met up a few days ago and had sex for the first time since two years ago, so clearly im terrible at letting go LMAO. but ive never been able to connect with anyone like him, man. ive had sex with others in between him and it just wasn't the same. things are still rough because ive been in love with him all these years and i dont know how he feels about me exactly in that regard, and my anxiety disorder makes me incredibly scared to ask, but i know he likes me and he's making an effort to call me often enough so i dont get ticked off about his shitty non in-person communication skills, so we'll see where things go.
