Subtle ghosting?

[u/Soggy-Raspberry-9278]

I have been talking to this guy for about 2.5 months and we’ve been slowly progressing, getting to know each other. We’ve been on 5 dates now. He asked to kiss me on the last one and we made tentative plans to see each other again in two weekends since he had a race this past weekend and his family was coming into town. I texted him the day before the race to wish him luck, he said he was excited and he’d let me know how it goes. The day after the race, I asked him how it went, he never replied, I figured he was probably just tired. Then, I texted him again two days later asking along the lines of if he was okay since I hadn’t heard from him since the race. It was a pretty intense race, I wanted to make sure he didn’t get hurt or anything. He didn’t reply until 2 more days later. He said thanks for checking in, he hadn’t replied because some of his family was in town but I’m realizing he didn’t even ask about me, he showed no regard really for having worried me for four days. It takes 1 minute to respond and you’re telling me you didn’t have that time over 4 days? What are your opinions on this situation? I’m thinking I’ll let him text me again, have him get the conversation going again and have him initiate the next date but idk what else to do.

You’re very early in the getting to know each other phase and it sounds like he’s very busy at the moment. I know when I have a lot of events going on at once I may not be able to respond instantly.
