My fun new man is ignoring messages and I am paranoid

I'm a woman in my 40s and I've been seeing this very handsome guy for a few weeks now. Physically, he’s the dream - tall, dark and sexy - and he has a fun, quirky personality too.

- Dear Coleen

Things were going great, but he cannot communicate like a normal person. He leaves my messages on “read” all the time and takes days to reply, and he hates talking on the phone.

I tried to convince myself it’s “just the way he is” but, the truth is, his communication style - virtually none — is making me feel insecure and wondering where I stand.

I basically feel ghosted and find myself on tenterhooks, constantly checking my phone to see if he’s got in touch, which isn't healthy. But when I've brought this up with him, he claims I'm the one who's weird and that he does communicate; he just isn’t glued to his phone the way I am (I'm not!).
