<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

We have been seeing each other for about a month and have been on 8 dates, having met on okcupid. We had a great instant connection (physical, emotional, everything) which I've never felt with anyone else before. For anyone who's used okcupid, we are a 99% match.

The first week his texting was non-existent (I would have to initiate all conversations, which I was fine with), then the next 2 weeks it was there and great, but then started to slow down and has been pretty bad for the last 2 weeks. eg. Slow conversation, with me initiating; him replying to me, but no counter-questions, etc. I don't text much - at most, once a day and lately every few days.

Last week when I brought up the fact that if there's not enough interest, we don't have to see each other, he replied with a sorry and saying that he's definitely interested, but has just been out all weekend. That was fine, but this behavior is repeating this week (and this week he told me he has tons of work to do over the weekend, which I'm seeing as him gently telling me to eff off).

I am feeling that this is a sign of disinterest from his side. Can anyone please provide some input? In person, it's pretty good/great, though the last time I saw him, the conversation was a bit slow. I should add that he is shy and quite passive.

What should I do at this point? Should I bring this up right now? Should I wait for him to message me first (this may take a while). Should I just forget about this guy, since I am seeing almost zero effort from his side?
<bot>: Lack of texting from a guy I've been seeing for a month, interpreting it as a sign of disinterest, or should I?
