Just pickup the phone and call the friggin guy.

I don't know how many damn threads I've read here where the central theme is a miscommunication related to or because of texting.

Make all the assumptions you want, but nobody really knows for sure if the man is indeed too busy, or distraught. If you feel he is stringing you along.... then move along.

That's what I am thinking as well. This isn't my first time internet meeting, so I know things can definitely be different in person.

There's no exact schedule for any of this courtship stuff. However, you should allow enough time between the time he contacts you and the time you respond by at least 15 minutes, sometimes longer.

A day or two between messages doesn't mean disaster. And so what if he moves on? You can only date someone who is available. Just let things progress naturally.
I agree with you. I'm okay without talking to him every day. My only certain was that twice he's said it was going to call and didn't.

True...I know how I feel but I wasn't sure if I was overacting or if I should bring it up.

Why do guys say they are going to call then don't ? Because someone else sparks there interest more than you do. If he didn't have someone else to talk with then he would for sure call you. He wants to keep you at bay in case the other doesn't work out. I'm speaking from experience. I know how guys operate.

You're putting too much emphasis on if he called when he said he would and not enough emphasis on moving forward with the connection.

He has no commitment owed to you. You are not his girlfriend, and he is not your boyfriend.

He does not owe you explanations of his whereabouts unless that commitment has been made.

Focus on moving forward or you'll otherwise be indefinitely hung up on the texting limbo, which is essentially, a connection based on absolutely nothing. It's not real life. It's not face to face.

If he is not willing to move mountains to progress forward with you by meeting and having a real connection.. Well, he's just not that into you and you should move on.

No. He's too busy.
