AIO - avoidant or just not that into me?
I (24F) am disorganized/fearful avoidant attachment and I was in a three month fling with an avoidant man (23M) from Sep-Nov.
In November, he became increasingly distant and told me he’s not ready for a relationship because he was stressed about family and work (he had just quit his job) and I told him I needed someone who can be fully present and be considerate in their communicate. We ended things amicably but somewhat abruptly.
After about a month I felt some regret about ending things without communicating how I felt and reached out to him to revisit this conversation and catch up and expressed this to him, which was extremely out of my comfort zone since I’m normally not a vulnerable person. He was receptive and we caught up a bit over text and then made vague plans to meet for coffee —- he then didn’t answer for 10 days (in the texts I say a week cause I hadn’t counted the days atp) and then reached back out continuing the conversation like nothing happened. I called him out and gave him an out, I said his silence made me question whether he wanted to meet and I want to meet only if he wants to talk too, not out of obligation just because I asked. He doubled down and said he wanted to meet, this time he said for breakfast. I agreed and told him to pick a place and left it at that. He then texted the day before we were supposed to meet and asked to reschedule, and then stated we could go to dinner. It’s been about three weeks since I sent that initial message and it feels SO drawn out now.
At this point I’m wondering if I should just cut my losses because his actions are showing me I’m not a priority, but I gave him an out and then how he keeps upping the ante of coffee to breakfast to dinner, which is confusing me?
Am I being delusional or should I just cut my losses and stop answering? I feel like I’m overextending myself but I can’t see beyond if this is just my attachment style trying to protect myself from getting hurt.
