I met a guy at a wedding of a mutual childhood bestfriend around 2 years ago. I was living overseas at that time and had only come back for the wedding. Now I’ve moved back and he is studying abroad in Australia and came back for the holidays only. I asked him out for a meal and said “I would like to get to know you better (plus you’re kinda cute).” He replied and agreed to meeting me. However, the night before the first date he asks if he can bring a friend along because his friend is visiting from overseas. It sounds like he chickened out so I just said you should meet your friend and we can meet up another day. Then he said, no I made plans with you first and lets meet as planned.

We met, and the date went relatively well. He seemed to be asking too many questions one after another though so I think he might have been a little nervous. He also mentioned being fat in the past (whether I had seen him before when he was fat and whether he had been bald or not at the wedding?). It came across as a little insecure. He also mentioned being introverted and able to go without social contact for months at a time. But overall the date went well because we had quite a lot in common and could talk/laugh together.

After the date, he didn’t message me. So the next morning, I just sent him a text saying it was great talking to you last night and lets meet for noodles (since we ate rice the first date and we realized we both like noodles). He agreed to meeting and said that he was basically free anytime and asked me to pick a time. I picked a day and then he sent back a text saying that he was busier than he expected to be (I think because he’s leaving to the location he study abroad soon) but gave alternative days that he would be free. I replied saying lunch on this certain day would work and we confirmed the meeting time and day. The day before, I realized that dinner that day would work a lot better for me, so I texted him saying could we do dinner on the confirmed day instead. I also suggested iceskating/biking after dinner because we talked about such activities on the first date. He said that dinner works but he’ll pass on anything after dinner because he’s feeling pretty much drained. The next morning he texts: “Soz, I just woke up and I feel super under the weather. I think I'll have to cancel today's dinner. ☹ ” I replied saying that I was looking forward to meeting him but hope he feels better soon. He hasn’t replied that text or rearranged another time to meet. He is last active on fb messenger 4 hours ago but hasn’t opened my message. Is he simply not interested? It seems a little strange because he seemed to want to meet even when I changed the time from lunch to dinner. Do you guys think he is really sick? Or is he wary because he is leaving for overseas soon?
