About a month ago, I met a guy & we started to have conversation & he said he wanted to get to know me. I told him no because I was leaving the next day & I wouldn't be back until next year or the holidays. He seemed a little disappointed but wanted my number anyway so I gave it to him. 5 days later he texts me and that began the start of our texting conversation. It seems that I'm the one starting the conversation. He'll sometimes text me good morning pretty lady and other compliments. He has so far sent 2 pics. Our conversations consists of good mornings & talking about what we did but I'm normally left hanging. We tried talking to each other on the phone, but that don't go so well since his phone cut off once (he says his phone went dead) & he called me back after 20, but lost signal & didn't call back. The most I have gone without texting him is four days & then I do because I don't want him to think I've lost interest or something like that.
He works two jobs & doesn't get off until 2 or 4 pm & from 11/12 midnight. I understand he is tired & when he gets down time, he wants to rest but I'm trying to figure out where is this going & how does he feel.

Is he comfortable with me texting first or does he seem just uninterested. I have half a mind to call him next week (I'm testing out to see if he'll text) & see what's up. I been told if I call & he doesn't pick up, leave a mssg & he doesn't call back, move on.

A month is a short time, I get patience but we are both starting school soon (not the same college & not in the same area) & Im not there obviously which hinders staring a relationship or to an extended friendship.

Any advice will help me so thanks in advance.

He is 23/24 & I am 19.

*I haven't communicated with him since last Sunday :(.

Well you have to think to yourself since he works two jobs where is the time for you guys to spend together if your thinking of something a little more than a friendship. If I was you I would give it time , don't seem like your waiting around for the phone to go off lol just act normal . Do the things you love to do during the day keep yourself busy so your not left hanging and thinking all afternoon :)
If he's interested I'm sure he'll find ways to contact you. If it ends up being just a friendship well hey you've gained a new friend . Don't stress too much.
