I have known this guy for a few years, I think we are friends but not very close. We had been in touch quite a lot recently but as soon as I asked whether he was free for a drink he went cold. He suddenly emailed me a few weeks later saying yes and so we met.
I'm not sure if he thought it was a date and I acknowledge that even though I had asked him, I didn't really give him any particular encouragement and did not really respond when he mentioned dinner and a restaurant he wanted to try because I thought we were meeting as friends and was taking it slow. I emailed him and told him about a new restaurant I wanted to try and thought we should go together and now he's gone cold again.
Is he now cold because I didn't give him anything when we met or does he just not like me? If he didn't want to see me, why did he bother to reply at all then?
