Alright so I recently enrolled in a week long class and was partnered with an attractive guy. As the week went on we became more comfortable and were flirting more and more. On the last day he asked me out to drinks when we finished our tests. he finished first though and apparently went to drop his stuff off at his house around the corner. When he came back and I had left thinking since we had finished at different times he thought we weren't going. A few days later we had a practical for our class and he was there and by the end asked for my number and wanted to meet up the next time I was in the area (which we both knew would be in a few days).

I texted him the night before I headed back his way and he told me he had gone a state away for a few days for construction but then replied again saying he really wants to take me out sometime soon. He continued the conversation asking how my day went but never responded and it's been almost a week since that happened. I told him to text me if he ever wants to meet up trying to leave it up to him but now not hearing anything I'm confused.

Part of me thinks I was blown off twice give up but then would he have gone through all the effort to blow me off? If he had not gotten my number we would have never run into each other again, easy way to drop it. What is this guy doing and is it a bad move to send him a friendly text?

Sorry for the length but any help would be great!
