Is He Slow Fading Me?

Dear Dr. K,

I met a guy towards the end of April on a dating app.

We met for walks a couple times, then we had a picnic date which was lovely. We decided to exclusively date due to Corona.

We were physical a couple times in a week. Then the following week (which was last week), he started being vague and distant. Things have started to reopen so his side business has reopened. He says he’s been “flat out.”

He’s messaged me and said I probably think he’s avoiding me but he’s not (I didn’t bring anything up). He still contacts me daily via text, but it’s vague.

This is the second week and I asked him if he is avoiding me and he asked me to please give him another week. Also he’s a full-time father to a two-year-old.

I asked him, “Shall we go separate ways?” He said he doesn’t want that as we just started out.

I feel neglected and I feel he got what he wanted and isn’t investing in me.

I’ve given him the chance to walk away and said I’m willing to walk away, too.

I’m not sure what to do. We had sex and I don’t regret it, but was that all he wanted? Is he slow feeding me? I’m not sure how to handle this and it’s really upsetting me and stressing me out!
