Is he shy? Not interested? Or too busy?

Question - (19 August 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 20 August 2011)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

i met a guy through a mutual friend and we seemed to hit it off. the day after we met, and the 2 following, i got text messages from him around noon and we always ended up hanging out.

on the last night we were together he was aware I was going away for 2 weeks he told me i looked beautiful and when we parted he asked me to go out to his car with him (we have yet to kiss) and he said "so you'll be back in 2 weeks" i confirmed it and he proceeded to say I could text him any time i wanted while I was away and that he would still be kicking around when i got back. he hugged me once, we talked for a few seconds, and then he hugged me again. (asking me out to his car and then a double hug kind of made me think he wanted to kiss, but chickened out/wasn't sure if i wanted it -- as i am shy and that sometimes comes off as uninterested i suppose)

we didn't text much while I was away, maybe 2 or 3 times and i always initiated it. when i got home i let him know, asked if he wanted to hang out and he said sure; i said whenever his scheduled allowed for it cause i'm almost always free.

I've been home nearly 2 weeks, and we have yet to hang out, which is sort of bumming me out because i was really getting to like him.

he's texted me a couple times, and i him, but work has really picked up here and he's busy lots. the other day i got a random text from him (after 4 days of silence) that said "i totally just bought dj hero" (our first date we spent the entire night playing guitar hero, and apparently buying it made him think of me). i said that was awesome, blahblah, and asked if i'd get a chance to try and beat him at it, he replied "of course! i could come over tomorrow if i don't have to work?" i said yea, that'd be awesome, and was pretty stoked for it. but the following day passed with no word from him, i assumed he got called to work. the next day i texted him and he said yea he did, but after he went quading. we talked for a bit and then he just stopped (which he's always done, even since before i met him). when we first met and he texted me, he always asked if i wanted to hang out within 30mins of texting... so i kind of get the feeling he's not one for chit chat anyway.

I have a few theories ... 1) he's not sure if i like him (he's shy also), so he doesn't want to impose himself on me because without knowing for sure if i want him around. 2) he's lost interest/there is someone else (which doesn't explain why he randomly thinks about me). OR 3) he's playing games.

what do y'all think?

Ummm from the situation you explained im saying option 1, from the random text about somthing that reminded him of you it seems he actually has interest in you...try sitting him down and just talking to him about it, just put the shyness away for a bit (: good luck

The only thing we know here for sure is that your level of interest in him is higher than his interest in you.

You are really going to torture yourself trying to continue on with this one.

Some of this stuff he is doing is just outright rude.

You actually had to contact HIM to find out why he broke plans with you and there was no word from him?

This is just plain bad manners. You don't have to read any further into it than that.
