Why is he texting less?
Vistazo rápido
Frequency by itself tells you less than it feels like it should. What is more telling is whether initiative, curiosity, effort, and follow-through are all changing at the same time, and whether the drop holds for more than a week rather than bouncing back.
The short answer
- He initiates less often than he used to.
- Replies get shorter or feel less engaged.
- He asks fewer questions than before.
- Plans become vaguer, or stop coming up at all.
- Emotional responsiveness decreases.
- The change holds for more than a week.
What it can mean
Texting less can mean a busier stretch at work, a shift in routine, growing comfort that makes constant contact feel less necessary, or genuinely fading interest. In isolation, a quieter week does not prove any of these. The distinguishing factor is whether the other signals (initiative, curiosity, plans) are dropping off at the same time, or holding steady while message count alone dips.
Consistency
Is his effort steady, or does it swing between going quiet and coming back strong? A steady person who is genuinely busy usually still checks in, even briefly. Erratic hot-and-cold texting is a different pattern from a simple decline, and it tends to say more about consistency than about interest itself.
Initiative
A drop in total messages matters less if he is still the one starting a good share of them. If you are now the one reaching out first almost every time, that shift in who carries the conversation is more informative than the raw count.
A single slow week is not a trend. Compare the last two weeks to the two before it, looking at initiative, curiosity, and follow-through together rather than texting frequency on its own. A real change shows up across more than one dimension at the same time.
"For sure" with no day or time attached is the actual signal here, not that he is tired. Watch whether he follows up with a real plan or lets it sit.

Is texting less always a sign of losing interest?
No. Changes in work, routine, stress, or comfort can also change texting frequency. Look for whether initiative, curiosity, effort, and follow-through are declining at the same time.
Should I text him more to compensate?
Matching his drop with more effort from you mostly hides the pattern rather than resolving it. It is more useful to notice the change and, if it matters to you, name it directly.
How long should I wait before it counts as a pattern?
Roughly two to three weeks of a sustained change is more informative than a single quiet week, which can just as easily reflect a busy stretch.
What should I compare the current texting to?
Compare it to how he texted with you specifically in the weeks before, not to a generic rule about how often people "should" text.
