Disengage. I "dated" this guy. He loved to text, but getting him out on a date was harder than passing a law in Congress. I let him go after five months of intermittent meetups. But he loved to talk on the phone while he was driving all around SoCal. I wish I'd pulled back when it took so much work for date #2.
I may be alone here, but I am not all that offended by men who want to explore their options. I totally understand the need and desire for men to follow through and respect my time, but I don’t think that one date and a few conversations is enough interaction to determine whether one wants to date another exclusively and I see no harm in talking to others while sorting it out. I do the same thing. I am more concerned about the guy who tries to glom onto me too soon.
this is EXACTLY what I needed to read right now. in a very similar situation, spot on advice.

I thought the offer to come over to help garden was really forward.
The fact that he couldn't correct himself and simply have dinner or
even half price apps like an interested adult is wierd. The flowery
stuff (video messages, checking if car ok) doesn't mean much in the
absence of in person interaction.
