Ah...here we come again. A very familiar topic to those of you in Out of the Ashes land!A gay middle aged man (GMAM#1) meets another gay middle aged man (GMAM#2). They appear to make a substantive connection. They schedule a time to meet again. After all, GMAM#2 says, he can't wait until the next time.
GMAM#1 receives a phone message the next day from GMAM#2. GMAM#2 has a family drama playing out and must attend to it. He is profusely sorry. Says that usually he is not filled with such drama. GMAM#1 texts him to say it's okay...another time. GMAM#2 asks if it is okay for him to call. GMAM#1 says sure.
GMAM#2 calls. Talks for a long while. "Can I call later?" he asks. "Sure" says GMAM#1. They hang up.
Late that night, GMAM#1 texts GMAM#2 to see if he is alright following the drama and receives a terse couple of texts in return, but yes he is okay.
From then on...silence.
I think you get the picture.
In situations like this, one has to ask himself, "What did I do wrong this time?"
This is such a routine event in my life, I have to laugh.
So what happened? I suspect that the other guy became afraid of new feelings.
This is not uncommon.
But to just suddenly go silent?
What happened to manners.
