I personally think we are too wired and too connected these days, I know for me my work phone is always going off, emails or texts or just plain old fashioned calls.
I want to disconnect a bit...
To answer the question, I think a day is acceptable. I have a coworker that if I don't respond back to his texts within a few minutes, he gets all pissy....
So each person has their own threshold, apparently.
The one of the things I like about diving (and going out on a live-aboard). You go out to sea for several days... there is no cell reception, no internet, you are completely cut off. It's a great feeling of freedom that's hard to explain.
Guys/Gals, if you really like someone (you are not in a relationship with yet), how long does it take for you to reply?
Would you be upset if someone doesn't return your call/text within 24 hours?
For me, he/she had to see the missed call/text within 24 hours and not reaching back within that time frame means it's a clear sign that person is not interested. What do you think?
I was taught it is proper to return a call/email within 24 hours, but not before 9 A.M. or after 9 P.M. (unless you know the person well enough to know they'll be awake before 9 A.M./after 9 P.M.), and this is regardless of whether the relationship is romantic or not. It's simply good manners, and I'm truly shocked at how often nowadays even professionals violate this guideline.

Whose guideline is this? Who taught you that?
I have never heard of it, and I am sure others have not either.
Random thought as I just read through all five pages... when he said "talk to you tomorrow" did he specifically say "Call me tomorrow?" Did he state a time? Does he work 9-5 (and cant receive personal calls during that time? Does he know your number? If this is a new situation, without the voicemail, he may have no idea who called ... Personally, unless their is a message, if someone calls from a number I don't know, I just ignore it. (at least in the moment ...)
That being said- the way you obsessed over this - I think its best you just let it go ... perhaps its your intuition telling you its a no-go.
