Feeling a little discouraged....

It seems like my mind is always on the guy I like but now I am thinking I should leave him alone for awhile. It just doesn't seem like I get to talk to him as much as I was last week. It just amazes me how things have changed so fast. Last week, we were talking to each other for hours everyday then I go to his house and we hung out and I was under the impression that we had a good time with each other but now it seems like I barely here from him now. It just depresses me a little bit because I want to continue getting to know him and it doesn't seem like he is putting in any effort to continue getting to know me. I asked him the other day if he was still interested in me and he said that he was but I would think that someone who is interested in you would have been trying to see when the next time we would be able to see each other again and go out on a date or something. I tried to text him today and haven't heard from him at all today. I wasn't going to text him today and instead was going to wait for him to text me because I don't want to seem like a bother and that I am bugging him all the time. Lately, it seems like I haven't been doing anything but talking to myself with him. I text him and it seems like it takes him forever to text back and I feel like I do all the initiating of conversations. So I decided I wasn't going to bug him anymore and that he can bug me first. But I just started thinking about why things seem different and I wanted to ask him what was his honest opinion of me after we met and spent time with each other. So I started the text asking how he was doing today instead of going straight into the question and was waiting on him to reply back before I asked and that was at 3:08 this afternoon and it is now 7:30. 4 hours and I haven't heard anything. I don't know if he is just busy because he has his daughter or he is spending time with family or what but I don't know anybody who is too busy to text someone and it take hours to do so I really don't know what to think anymore. I am just going to leave him alone from now on and wait to hear from him. I just hope he hasn't lost interest in me already. Just hoping for everything to work out and I will eventually hear from him again but he kind of gives me the impression that he doesn't want to be bothered with me. Don't want to put too much into this guy when we still barely know each other but I think I need to get my feelings off of him before I really upset myself. From now on I am just going to leave him alone and we'll see where things go from here.
