Thank you for all the comments and making me see things more clearly he is unmatched ! I do agree with all you sisters after certain few days we are merely boosting his ego ! Unmatch and next !
Women think they can only be used for sex but it goes much deeper than that. We can be used for attention, ego boost, emotional labor, entertainment, money, physical labor, as therapists etc. He is probably using you for at least four of those. Don't bother participating in the "talking" phase, it is in reality the "waste your damn time from the toilet" phase.
I wish I knew this when I was in high school.... could have saved me so many years of grief when I reached adulthood and started the more "serious" dating... I blamed myself a lot when OLD connections online seemed dull, or for lack of followup after a date
Means you’ve been chatting on OLD with an unavailable guy for way too long. Block and delete.

i think he's waiting for you to ask for his number. Don't ask yourself what he means, what he wants, what he's waiting for. Think about what you want, see if that's what he's giving you. If the answer is 'yes', you keep invested; if the answer is 'no', forget about him.

No, he doesn't actually want to speak to her or have a relationship with her. He's getting off on the little ego hits he gets from texting.

yes that's another possibility. but no matter what his real intentions are, she should walk away as soon as she realizes he's not giving her what she wants.
The other comments here are 100% correct most of the time but I have found that *sometimes*, the reason they’re delaying asking you out is this: They either don’t look like their photos or they’re very socially awkward or creepy in person. These men get the “Sorry, didn’t feel a connection” message after every first date. A lot of men think that if they manage to build a connection with you over texting (impossible) that you will overlook how disappointed you are with them when you finally meet and maybe for once they will get a second date.
This has happened to me several times. I wasted weeks of my time texting, he FINALLY asked me out, and then the second I meet him I think “OH! So THAT’S why you were so hesitant to let me meet you.”
There’s never a good reason for a man to delay asking you for an actual date, or at least a phone call. After 3-5 days of nothing but texting I unmatch now.
That has happened to me too ! Thats why after 5 - 6 days I get this awkward feeling like why ain’t you asking me out . After few days of greetings and how was your day etc etc I feel it’s reasonable that he ask for our number or how could he keep in touch .
When they ask for my number (because they just want to continue the pointless texting directly on my phone rather than the app), I always suggest that we meet first, then if we hit it off they can have my number. Most of the time they readily agree, then when the day comes around they suddenly unmatch me. 😂 Just proves they were stringing me along with no real intention to meet from the beginning. I’d say 80% or more of the men on those apps are looking for a texting buddy, so I’ve had to put a system in place to weed them out.

Move on
