Dating : Is he just not that into me? (24f/33m)

Dating : Is he just not that into me? (24f/33m)

TL;DR at the bottom!

I (24 f) met a man (33 m) on Bumble a few weeks ago. We really hit it off over text, were texting constantly, and overall I got really excited to meet him in person. Due to scheduling conflicts (mine), we texted for about two and a half weeks before we actually met in person.

We met at a restaurant, had (what I thought) was a good time, then at the end he started acting really weird and cut things off short. He blamed it on the restaurant being on a wait and not wanting to take up a table while other people were waiting. Cool, I get it. Then we had an awkward hug in the parking lot and went our separate ways. I texted him later that evening asking if he had a bad time or if I said something to offend him. He said he had a great time and of course he wanted to see me again, that he was acting weird because he got “thrown off his flow”.

Cue radio silence for the next 4 days. I then sent him a “hey how are you” text, no response, then later that evening sent him another text saying I hope everything is okay but I haven’t heard from you, please let me know if you don’t have the time or interest to pursue things further. He texted back immediately saying he was sorry and he has been so busy. So basically he gave me a non answer. I haven’t heard from him since and it’s been about 4 days.

Am I being “breadcrumbed”? I’m just confused because I straight up asked him and he didn’t shut me down, but he also hasn’t put in any effort post-date.

I wish I could just let this go like other failed Bumble dates, but I can’t. I was excited to meet someone I really seemed to mesh with. I was considering sending him this text:

“So at this point, this totally feels like a desperate Hail Mary 😂 but I’m a grown ass woman, and I’m not going to allow myself be afraid to be honest and communicate how I’m feeling. I like you! I get that you’re busy, but never talking and having no plans to see each other isn’t what I’m looking for. You told me to be myself. Whoever the fuck you are, just be her. So here she is. I like you. I want to hear from you. I want to see you. Do you want to see where this goes? Please let me know if you truly are just really busy or if all of a sudden cutting communication with me is your way of telling me you’re not interested.

PS I hope you’re okay!”

What do you guys think? I guess I kind of figure what’s the worst that can happen, he’s already not talking to me.

TL;DR: Very limited conversation with my Bumble date post meeting IRL. Am I being breadcrumbed? Also should I sent the text above? TIA!
