Just a little rundown of my situation.
There is this man who has been friends with my sister and her husband for the last few years. He worked for them. He has met my family, been to my parents house, so he knows my family. My sister told me years ago that he asked about my situation.
A week ago I sent him a friend req on Facebook, I figured he is friends with both my sisters so why not. Since then, we have emailed via fb daily. We both are a bit taken back at how quick we have hit it off. We have this connection which HE has spoken of first.
My question is....why would he just stop emailing me? He is getting ready to leave for Afghanistan, he has mentioned how he has been exhausted with packing, getting things in storage, and my last reply was Sat, I got three from him and nothing since. He did say it is sinking in to his family that he is about to leave and they are trying to spend quality time with him. He apologized for not a longer response and said he promises to reply "tomorrow" once no one is around reading over his shoulder. I replied very politely saying, I understand, enjoy your family and I loom forward to your reply tomorrow.
I have not heard anything. We do live far away, like, he is in CA and I am in MO. We already talk of wanting to see each other as soon as he leaves Afghanistan in a year.
Am I reading too much into this? I mean, his last "real reply" I got Sat was so very "tense". Maybe he is pulling back due to the fact we got a little too close too fast?
Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
