I wouldn't waste too much time, Could be just a timewaster trying to keep texting with you. I just tell them that I'm easy to go with and when they are ready to book they should get in touch and commit to a meet. It's not worth trying to hand hold snd convince them if they are not going to get through yiyr door.

I guess the key part is that you're finding him draining already. I think we probably all have our own lines on how much encouragement to book that we give for free. I am kind to nervous clients but do stop giving them chances eventually as they do easily cross the line into timewaster territory.

In the room, they're some of my favourites, as they're generally slightly overwhelmed so easy to handle, and grateful for whatever they get, which is gratifying.

But sometimes all you can do is tell them you're ready to book when they are, and leave it to them to make the decision, and some never will.

We had a time agrred, in the morning I get the text that I am welcomed to join him for a lunch 1hr prior agreed time and I can cancel if I want to.

So I canceled even if he moved back from the lunch invite coz I dont have energy to reassure him that everything is fine, no need to worry, he is welcome bla bla bla

But I generally have no respect for insecure ppl as I am on the other end so I give it up easily but thinking of new approach
