Seeking clarity about his intentions
A friend introduced me to one of her friends as a potential marriage prospect about eight months ago. Since then, we have known about each other through our mutual friend. She often spoke about me to him and about him to me.Our friend encouraged us to talk directly, but both of us were hesitant at first. About four weeks ago, he sent me a follow request on Instagram, which I accepted. Knowing that he might be shy to initiate the conversation, I decided to message him first.We talked for about three days, and I genuinely felt that he was a nice person. Then, all of a sudden, the messages stopped. I sent him another message, and he replied that he was not very active on Instagram. After that, we spoke for two more days. He was funny, sent voice messages, and the conversations felt comfortable and enjoyable.However, just like before, the communication suddenly stopped again.
I shared this with our mutual friend, and she was also confused. She gave me his phone number and suggested that I message him directly. I was hesitant, but she told me that she had already informed him that she had shared his number with me.So, three days ago, I sent him a simple message on WhatsApp saying hi, introduced myself, and mentioned that our friend had given me his number. He still hasn’t replied.At this point, there has been no communication for almost two weeks, and I honestly don’t know what happened. My initial impression was that he seemed genuine and loyal. Now, I’m left wondering whether he has lost interest or if he is simply a very slow communicator.
