Has he lost interest?

I have been seeing a guy for two months now and we meet up on average about 1-3 times per week. I stayed over at his Tuesday night and before I left Wednesday morning I asked if he was going drinking with mates this weekend. He said no and asked me I said no. He then said if his mates were doing something non alcohol…

Now with lots of casual sex, friends with benefits, open relationships, swinging etc there are no rules anymore.

I think it’s a really horrible time for dating. People are being used and cast aside. Of course it’s a wonderful time if you’re playing the field, as long as both parties are aware of each other’s intentions.
Generally they’re not, hence the ghosting, benching, breadcrumbing and posts like this.
I hate that this is the new ‘norm’ now. ‘Oh everyone is doing it, so it’s ok’ - where is your discernment and judgement and general manners?

I think you just have to get really good at reading signs, look at actions over words, and presume the other is probably seeing other people at the same time.

I really hope there is some kind of backlash against this type of dating. There might be a resurrection of old-skool dating, with flowers, courting and all that! Hipsters, bring this back please!
