Is he blowing me off or should I just take his word for it?

I've known this guy for a couple of months, we recently went out on two dates and planned a third. I texted him to see if he still wanted to meet up the next day and he did not respond to my text till almost 10 hrs later (it was a regular text message since I have an iphone and he doesn't) He finally replied: "sorry I just saw this tomorrow is gonna be busy I have to get some stuff for work during the day. I gotta go shopping super lame haha." He hasn't texted me to make backup plans. I'm a litte confused since on our second date he did show strong signs of attraction, and he seemed like he had a good time. Is he blowing me off or should I give him more time and wait for him to text me again?

I would wait. Maybe you should talk to each other over the phone or in person.

Kinda seems like he's blowing you off. If he really wanted to hang out he would've suggested alternate plans for another time and not just gave an excuse for not replying. I also get the vibe that he's trying to change the topic so i would read that as uninterested to be honest.

Based on everything here, it does seem he is blowing you off.

- He may not have the maturity it takes to honestly tell you that he is not interested in you.
- He may like you, but not have the maturity/confidence it takes to properly treat a lady or show he cares. (oblivious to the fact he's blowing you off.)
- He may be physically attracted to you, but not interested in you as a person. (If you two have not yet gotten physical, this is him giving up trying. If you two have, this is him blowing you off and moving on)
-He may be seeing multiple people, and this is him blowing you off for another girl.

My advice would be NOT to wait, but if he does text you again at least see what he says.
If he is interested in you but is a little self contentious, he may just not know what to say to you BUT he will eventually text you. If that's the case just give him a couple of confidence boosters and see what he does with them. If confidence isn't an issue with him, but he still takes a while to text you, he's either seeing someone else, or after something physical.
