So, I'm on the my 3rd round of 25 days... heck, it may even be the 4th, I've decided not to keep a strict count. 

I feel like I've hit a crossroads with my love.  We've exchanges messages almost daily through our game app since mid-November.  Finally, earlier this week, he sends me an email to a story he thought I might have some interest in. I responded back to the email with my thoughts on the article and then added that I was surprised that he actually used something other than the app to communicate. He responded back to me in the app... saying that he uses that more than other forms these days because it's easy to maintain conversations asynchronously. After I rolled my eyes, I responded back about how I find the app to be a pain and the only thing that it's good for is to maintain conversations you wish no one to know about.  We each took a few more turns, though he didn't reply.  I decided to just wait to take my turn and see what happens. I did this a few weeks ago when he stopped responding... I stopped playing to see what he would do.  As luck would have it, a few days went by and he responded to my message, so I took my turn. On his next turn, he sent me a message that he was wondering what happened to me because I took a break from playing. It was all of two days... so I said that I was just busy. 

Again, as "luck" would have it. He responded, even though it wasn't his turn.  "Are you hiding me from someone or am I supposed to be hiding you from someone?" 

So, I'm trying to decide how to answer.  I don't know his status these days because I don't look at this Facebook. I can only go on what my intuition has been telling me. My gut has been telling me for a while that his situation was at the tail end and wrapping up and he was spending time feeling me out to see where I stood. While I am "dating", it's not at all exclusive or even people that I feel a connection with and I am certainly open to taking him back.  However, I don't want to look like I've been sitting around and waiting for him, but I don't want to scare him off from trying ask make a move. 

Any thoughts or suggestions?  I totally love to hear a guy's take on this situation.
