Have you ever seen the "He's just not that into you" episode of Sex and the City (which inspired a book, which spawned a movie)? The SATC episode (Season 6, episode 4) is pretty valid on this topic IMO. While I'm not referencing this particular guy or scenario, some of the things you have posted make me think you could benefit from watching it, sweetjess.

I haven't seen it.

Are you retracting your suggestion to reach out to him??

One of my guy friends even said that sometimes he would get so busy and stressed with work that he wouldn't contact a girl he was into. I'm not necessarily saying that that is the case here, but I know that he travels multiple days out of the week and he has even gone a few days without responding to my message (but had logged on). When he finally got back to me, he apologized for not responding, that he was super busy with work.
Here is the hard truth...when a guy is REALLY interested in a girl he is NEVER too busy to respond to her. A guy with real interest will find a way.

I just wish I knew what I did, if anything. I just got a completely different impression. And I was into him. I wanted to hang out again. It makes me wonder if I gave off the impression that I wasn't interested.

I'm seriously about over dating!!!
You can think about him day and night, but that will not change the fact that he is NOT thinking about you, or interested to meet anymore.
He behaved like an gentleman and endured the evening with you without making a face. Since you were so much into him, you probably oversaw small nuances that normally would tell you that he was nice and polite, but disinterested. (or maybe he was interested in the beginning and then his interest faded, you know the thing about first impression).
Sometimes is wise not to show how much we want something
Anyway, move on. Thinking about him is a waste of time...

Well, I can't undo the text now but I'll just drop it, even if he responds.

Unless he responds with an actual firm invitation to get together (time and date, a plan) just let it go now honey.

Anymore non-committal texts should be seen by you as lack of real interest, okay?

And if he says no, at least I KNOW.

Just from what I've read so far in this thread you appear desperate and clingy and he may be getting the same feeling.
Let it go and see if he will contact you, until then continue living your life without a thought given to him.

PS ~~ Stay off of facebook, it is nothing but useless gossip and unnecessary drama.

You sent him text 3 hours ago. There was plenty time to take a pee break, and txt you even from the restroom. Interested guy would take the break or find another way even if super busy...
I see people texting under the table during important meetings. Where there's a will, there's a way.
How long you didn't hear from him? A week or two? Do you seriously believe that a guy would not find time in that period of time? Does he work 24/7? or sleep, eat, check the FB, and have life?
OR....... maybe he is married!
