Is it normal for guys not to act on what they say?

This is about a guy in my college class.
We exchanged eye contact in the hallway and that was the first time we met, i walked into class, he walked in later and sat by me.
We are both college students.
He was really fast: Asked for my name & number that same day, we became instant friends and he told me he would text me when he got home later that night and he did.
He has told me i am very beautiful and gorgeous.
He once said we should study together and i said ok and asked him to tell me when he wanted to.

He also said we don't have to see each other only on Weds and we sld hangout and have lunch and the day we decided to, he cancelled and said he got called in for work.
He texts once in a while, about once or twice a week. When he texts it goes well.

Once he said we sld go to the movies sometime and i said we sld discuss that when we saw each other in class on Weds and he was like "ok". But he never brought up the topic in class and however gave me a hug at the end of the day because we had texted about 3 days ago and i said i needed one.

The most recent one was on Weds when he said we sld study on Saturday and i said alright and asked him to text me when he wanted to but he never did. Its Sunday today and he hasn't texted since Weds.

Is this normal?
Is he loosing interest?
Should i ask him if he wants to study instead rather than wait for him to text me?
Maybe i should ask if he wants to see a Movie.
Thanks.
xoxo

    Look at it from his perspective. He suggests a movie, you say you'll discuss it later in class but never bring it up. he always seems to be the one who always initiates contact. He maybe thinks you're not that interested.
    If you're interested, why not try showing it instead of letting him make all the moves.
    The last thing I would do is confront him, you act disinterested and then fly off at him and he'll think you're on the express train from crazytown.

    I think he has good intentions at the time but then gets busy and forgets. I agree that you should mention - what about the movies? or - I thought you said you wanted to study on Saturday?

    Don't sit back like a doormat waiting on him to call the shots. Call him out on the plans he doesn't follow through.

      yeah really, i agree. if you like him, even as just a friend confront him, be like what the flip dude. cause he seems to be flaking out on you. and i can say if its innocent or not. But it is annoying

    Thanks everyone!
    And here's an update.
    I texted him saying "Hey what happened to studying last Saturday? lol"
    and he replied asking if i wanted to study both Tuesday Morning and Wednesday before class.
    Anyway im not free Tuesday morning so we ended up picking Wednesday.
    We texted till i fell asleep and i woke up and texted telling him that i was sorry for not replying his last text and i fell asleep. Sent it at 11am and its 10pm and he hasn't reply.
    Im not gonna bother much about it and just move on with life and whatever happens, happens.
    Thanks a lot everyone!

    it could be that he forgot. or that things moved too quickly for him.

    it could be that you're in deeper than he is and he just doesn't know.

    i'd suggest just be friends for now. don't put all your eggs in the "wednesday guy basket" because you may be setting yourself up for a guy who just wanted a buddy and not a love

    if it's mean to be, it may still happen. nothing wrong with going slowly.

    I personally am the one who doesn't follow through mostly because I'm not that interested currently. I have other things going on. However guaranteed there will be time a time when I slow down and say hey I'm lonely. That's how my exs got me. They were not obnoxiously persistent but like every 3 days max would text and ask me out and if I said no asked if id like to chat through text if I was free I would. When I got free I would spend time with whom I was comfortable which is whom I was conversating the most with. If he was my type and I was interested but wanst ready to chill for whatever id text back and rarely ignored. If he's was just standby till I get bored id make plans cancel or forget. Not respond often but I was friendly and flirty I can't help it they're cute and all. Just wasn't really into em. Like that movie he's just not that into you. Now you need to pull a "Hitch" to get his attention. All that to say persue but know when you're being played for stupid. Have your standards of how long or far you're willing to go. And don't sleep with him on your first few study dates. If you want more than a temp booty call that is.

    Just ask him why he doesn't follow through with his plans, but ask him in person so he'll give you a more direct answer.

    Do you ever make the first move? Perhaps he thinks you are not interested as you don't text him first once in awhile
