Same as a previous poster, I’d not drive 5 hours to his house and then be ignored at events.

Also “taking it slow” means let’s not sleep together yet, let’s have a date once a week not every day, let’s not move in together and let’s not get married too soon. Or something like that

It doesn’t mean “let’s be cold and distant and go places acting like we don’t know each other”. It’s not taking it slow. It’s showing that “he is just not that into you”. I am not saying it’s the case. I am saying that’s how he behaves. And no one can try not to have feelings for someone. You either do or you don’t.

Cold and distant is unacceptable so time to explain what’s happening
I agree with you. And he has been holding me at arm's length, not really allowing the relationship to develop further or evolve. He has been hot and cold, I feel, and I don't like it.

It is time to discuss it, but he's ignoring my texts right. now. I have a feeling he doesn't want to deal with any of it.

I point blank told him that I think I want more than he does, that he seems he wants distance and space, and I want a relationshiop to develop. No reply from him!
