You know, it probably didn't help that, from what I gather from your secret, you were putting months between texts. He could have taken that as you not really interested in being better friends, or that you were just interested in 'hanging out in the tour bus' type friends.

Like other people said, it's possible they got overwhelmed with new fans, or that their spouse[s] weren't comfortable with something that was going on, so they had to cut off contact from there.

[(Anonymous)]

I was thinking this, too. I don't know how often is appropriate to text someone like that, but I think months in between is too long.

[lyndis]

I agree with this. If I give someone my number, I expect texted more than once every few months.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree about the length of time between texts. He put himself out there by giving the OP his number - going two months before responding is kind of telling him you weren't that interested in being his friend for real.

[(Anonymous)]

I sort of agree, but friendship is a two-way street. If he was interested enough to want more texts, he should have sent some too.

[(Anonymous)]

OP

I thought about that too, but the last thing I wanted to do was bother him and abuse the privilege. I like what someone said below us that if he really wanted to be friends he could have sent a text or two as well. After all, he's the one who initiated it in the first place. :/

[(Anonymous)]

But I'm reading your post right, OP, he initiated but then you took TWO months to respond. I don't want to be unkind because it sucks for you but that's a long time to go for something new.

In other words, if you were interested in him enough to give him your phone number, and two months went by before he responded to your initial PM/text, wouldn't you think that maybe you read things wrong and he wasn't that interested to begin with?

I get that you wanted to be respectful and not take advantage, but he was inviting you to be a bigger part of his life in some way and you...well...kind of took a step back instead of forward.

I mean, men aren't that subtle. If they give you their number, it's because they want to talk. They're not trying to be coy or mysterious or play it cool - it's literally only because they want to have contact with you. Being all "oh, sorry, I didn't want to disturb you/I didn't know if it was appropriate/I didn't want to abuse the privilege of having your phone number" probably comes off to him more as "I'm not interested/I'm too busy to be friends with you/I'm blowing you off".
