The chat opens with affection and a concrete plan (Lonavala) on 6 Jul, then a first 4-day silence begins.
“we should do lonavala next weekend. there's this place with a view”
A 9-day silence is followed by a new proposed date; a 10-day silence follows, broken by a bachelor-party excuse and a vague 'next month' promise with no date attached.
“ahh babe I completely forgot, ravi's bachelor thing is this weekend”
A Friday plan is made after a 10-day gap, then cancelled via 'rain check', then a second promised date ('tomorrow for sure') is also missed — 3 plans proposed in this stretch, 0 kept.
“ugh, something came up with my landlord. rain check? tomorrow?”
You ask directly what the relationship is; his two replies deflect the question rather than answer it, and the exchange ends with a one-word 'ok' from you.
“vikram what is this”
A 5-day silence ends with an apology and a firm-sounding dinner plan that is never followed through; two of your messages go unanswered for roughly 8 hours before a late-night reply.
“fuck, I'm so sorry. phone died and then the night got away from me”
Across 6 weeks the shape repeats on a roughly weekly-to-biweekly rhythm: silence, warm late-night return, a new plan, then no plan kept — with one direct question about status met by deflection rather than an answer.
