Mature dating question....?

In my late 20's, so is he. We went on one date about a month ago and havent gotten together since. We talk almost daily via email or text message...generally I initiate the communication, however there are days where he will also. We joke a lot and have had a few 'serious' discussions but lately (last week or so) I feel like he is only talking with me to 'soften the blow' or rejection. Our daily chats have decreased significantly and so has the length of chats. Is it possible that hes just not that into me and is stringing me along? Thoughts?

    I think you already know the answer to this question don't you? Wouldn't you, (if you really liked someone romantically), go out of your way to keep the communication line going and if you enjoyed the one date that you went on a month ago, wouldn't you have already made an attempt at a second date by now? It really sounds like this guy just doesn't have the backbone to tell you that he isn't interested in pursuing anything of this nature with you any further. Don't waste your time giving this guy any more of your time and energy thinking about him. I just bet you that if you stop being the one to initiate any more conversations with him, you probably won't be getting any more from him either. And hey, if he does send you an email, don't be so quick to respond to it. Don't make yourself so easily available to him. Maybe if he thinks that you're losing interest in him, if he does have any feelings for you at all, then he will act on it if he thinks the possibility of that is slipping away from him. Men like a chase. Don't be so easily caught.
