I tend to put way too much thought into small situations.
Since he answered you and was friendly in the beginning I would assume he forgot or maybe had a little too much to drink.

Yes, you are putting too much thought into this. Most of us have more than one friend and more than one group we hang out with. Just let it go. He was having a good time, and he was being polite to you. Sometimes I just forget to return a message or text back because I am busy. It doesn't mean anything, and if a friend made me feel bad about it, they would no longer be a friend. I don't need pressure from friends. Also, if a friend texts or calls me and they have an emergency, that would be different. I would get there as quick as I could. Casual calls and texts can wait.

I agree with your first sentence saying that I am putting too much thought into this, but I really don't think think he should stop being my friend because he forgot to text me back. That's a little extreme, no?

If he was just like, "I'm can't tonight" at the beginning, I would have just dropped it. I tried to drop it when he said he was with others, but he continued pushing it. I was trying to just drop it, and that's part of why I was frustrated.

For all posters: thanks so much for the help, you have given me a lot to think about (lol!).

No, he should not being your friend because he forgot or didn't text you back. What I said was if someone tried to make me feel bad about it or pressured me, I wouldn't want to be their friend. Friends should understand and just go with it. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

No problem! I would obviously not mention this to him at all. I just wanted to go to an outside source to make sure y'all didn't think he as like purposely ignoring me. Thanks!

We can't really say that for sure. We can only remark on your own behaviour as you have described it.

Yeah dude he was ignoring you.

I have a friend like that who NEVER replies to calls or texts if she doesn't wish to.

It's annoying but it means nothing, except that she has something better to do at the time.

Once you get old and realise your friends have kids, homes, school runs, old parents, ex husbands, inlaw problems, jobs etc etc etc well it's a miracle ANYONE answers their phones.

The only way the situation would turn sinister in my case is if some drunk moron called or texted me at some insane hour, I don't care who they are.

Ha! That was my immediate reaction as well. That the OP keeps claiming he felt "led on" certainly doesn't help.

Anyway, OP, your over-thinking is indicative of a deeper issue that you may have with dependency and neediness. Be careful not to drive your friend insane, lest he really does start ignoring your texts because he finds you annoying.
