Is he interested in me or am I wasting my time?

I'm back on the dating scene after a realy bad breakup last year and I'm finally at the stage where life is good again and I don't pine for the ex anymore.

I was recently introduced to a guy by my family and after we met he asked for my number. A couple of weeks went by and suddenly he texted me asking to go out for a coffee. It took another two weeks for us to actually get together because he then went on holiday but he said he would text when he got back to arrange. He got back and after a few days, I texted him asking him how his holiday went and it was then that he suggested that we finalise our date.

We arranged to meet on a Friday evening and he said he might be late because of work (he is a corporate lawyer). In the end he was an hour late and I ended up choosing where we went to eat as he came to meet me in my area. After the date, he asked me to text him when I reached home safely and I did and he texted back to say he had a lovely evening.

On Monday he texted me asking about my weekend and we had a conversation over text but he didnt suggest meeting up again. I decided to take matters into my own hands and ask him how he thought our date went. He said he thought it went well and he wanted to meet up again and he would check his work schedule to see when he could. I didnt know if he had or not so I asked him how it was looking and he said that Friday was a possibility. A few days later he told me that he had a huge deal on and that he might have to cancel but he would let me know. When he told me this, I asked him if he had enough time to meet up generally because of his hours and he said he had. He followed this up by suggesting lunch the following day.

We went for lunch and it was nice but he again said Friday was looking shaky but he would try and work something out.

Now Friday has rolled around and he has texted me to cancel which I'm really annoyed about. Not only that he hasnt even suggested rescheduling! I'm tempted to just ignore his text and not reply because he just doesnt seem to have any time for me. I feel like I am the one initiating contact instead of him. I know he has a very demanding job (he hardly ever gets home before 10) but still a phone call occasionally wouldnt hurt! He only ever texts me never calls. I called him once but he didnt pick up his phone because he was on the train and it wasnt a good place to talk.

I'm just getting a bit fed up. He's a nice guy with potential (not so sure on the looks front but I'm trying to be less superficial about that kind of thing!) but he just isnt making the kind of effort I am used to from a guy. Usually they pursue me quite aggressively and I have been told that I am a catch. I have open to seeing him so he must see that I am interested. Its not that I'm needy or clingy because I have loads going on in my life but is it to much to expect a man that I am seeing to chase me or make an effort for me??

Yeah, I get the sense he's not that interested. Corporate lawyer or not, if he was interested, he would make time for you and not be so flakey. Move on to someone who likes you for you and will make time for you (no guessing games etc).
