He went from daily texts to weekends only: what to do

Look at the shape of the change, not the individual messages. If he went from texting most days to only on Saturday and Sunday, something shifted in how much mental space you take up for him during the week. That could be work pressure, a family or social stretch, or a loss of momentum after the first excitement wore off. It can also mean he's still into you but is used to texting in bursts when he has free time, which tends to be weekends.

So ask yourself what the weekend messages look like. Are they warm, specific, and built around plans or things you said earlier? Or are they thin, reactive, and mostly answering you? Warm weekend messages with a plan attached suggest he's still choosing you, just on a slower schedule. Thin messages that never move toward meeting suggest the interest is cooling, and you should treat the next few weeks as a test rather than a phase.

When he does text on the weekend, the reply has to do more work than usual. Acknowledge what he actually said in a sentence, then point toward something concrete: a specific day, a plan you'd both enjoy, or a question that needs a real answer rather than a thumbs up. You're trying to move the conversation from loose chatter to something that requires a decision, because decisions are where a slowing pattern either picks back up or becomes obvious.

Keep your own message short and warm. Don't write a long catch-up about your week that makes him feel obligated to match it. Don't tack on a complaint about how little he's been texting. One clear thing to respond to, delivered in a relaxed tone, gives him the easiest possible path to say yes or be honest about where he is.

Don't text on Tuesday to see if he's still there. Let the weekday silence run its course, because that gap is the information you need. If he reliably answers on weekends and makes a plan when you suggest one, the weekday quiet is probably just his rhythm and you can relax about it. If he answers weekends but never suggests seeing you, or keeps the plan vague, you have your answer about where this is heading.

Set a limit for yourself. If you've offered a specific plan twice over two weekends and he's deflected or gone quiet on the plan, stop offering. Keep replying warmly if he texts, but stop putting energy into building things he isn't building. If he disappears entirely for more than a couple of weeks with no explanation, that's a clear enough answer, and you can let it be the end without sending a final message asking what went wrong.
