I am 40 and been on off texting a guy and he sent me this message yesterday.

'Not scared off thought being responsible adult maybe for the best. Will be able to text Saturday night if you wish, text away'

I read that as just wants to be friends. You can text me if you want it doesn't bother me.

Have I read this right.

Honeypie agony auntI agree with YouWish.

WEIRD!

And the ONLY way this makes sense is if he is married, and thus can't text you on a daily basis. The whole " being responsible adult maybe for the best" kind of screams like a married dude who either got caught or is having second thoughts.

Have you tried to look him up? Like social media etc.? I'd do a little online snooping and see what comes up.

IF you already KNOW he is married ( you didn't mention) I'd just block him and move on. His conscience got the better of him.

YouWish agony auntThat *is* weird. You say you've been texting this guy on and off? Have you met him? Have you two dated? Do you know anything about him?

I don't have enough to go on to give you good advice, so if you could follow up telling us how you met, why your relationship is only consisting of texting, and what conversation led up to his text to you..

All that pops out to me here is that yesterday was Wednesday, and if this guy says that he can't text until Saturday night, i.e. 3 days until he can pick up his phone for 10 seconds and text a "hi", it sounds like he's either married or with someone else who looks at his phone and limits the time he can text. When a partner sleeps in the same bed you do, curiosity is raised when someone does the "furtive affair texting" thing.

Hopefully you can clear this up - I'm going on extremely and prohibitively limited and incomplete information you've provided.
