What do I do?

[astral matrix]

So since a few weeks ago, I've met this one guy, and him and I started dating a week ago. We've told a few people, got to get used to eachother, but the problem is, he barely talks to me anymore. He's told me before he doesnt care what the relationship status between him and I. But he was so energetic and cheerful when until him and I started dating. I asked a friend of mine for advice, and I did follow, but it just doesn't help. The relationship isn't toxic, but the connection between him and I just feels empty. I tried asking him questions, sharing my feelings/thoughts, tried my best to make him smile, but he seems to only truly interact with others. It's like he doesn't care him and I are dating. Like if the relationship doesn't matter to him...

May someone please give me advice?

If he already doesn't seem too interested, I wouldn't recommend continuing to pursue this relationship. If this is something that will continue to happen, it's not going to be healthy. Communication is extremely important in any relationship, romantic or not. Really, communication is what makes a relationship a relationship in the first place. Leaving you in the dark about his feelings isn't fair to you, especially since you've been open and vulnerable to him.

I would try to get through to him one more time. Express that communication is important to you, and if he still doesn't seem interested it's not worth it. I cannot see a relationship going well if he isn't able to communicate with you about anything

honestly just sounds like, in ur own words he clearly didn’t care. so it’s really up to u to decide what ur ok with. either u stay in the relationship and have to learn to be ok with the fact that he clearly doesn’t care about the relationship. or choose yourself and break up with him. there will be others who will care and love u the way u deserve. but again it’s ur choice, sorry ur dealing with this tho

Thank you two for the advice. But I'd like to inform you two that I constantly asked him if he really wanted to date me, and he always responds with yes. I do not know who to believe, so I shall stick with my romantic partner, but if anything goes south, I assure you two that I will use your advice. Is there any other way to make him change his habit of ignoring me when it comes to emotions? Or am I stuck with this?

I think that maybe he is genuinely interested in you, but isn't ready for a relationship.

If you are willing to go through with him, I think the best idea is to tell him that you need to work on communication. And it will be hard, you will have to struggle with him learning how to talk to you with him. It's up to you whether or not you can carry that baggage
