LaCresha's Lens Focuses On...page 217...Must Hate Dogs - Chapter 8

Going Silent

I have been having the most pleasant conversation with Mister Memphis the past little while.  Last Saturday our conversation just stopped.  I'm not sure what was going on, so I figured he was at work and busy.  Then four days went by and nothing.  On Tuesday I sent a message to him via "hangouts", but it only said he was not on and the message would be sent once he got online.
I sent another message last night to an e-mail address which had his phone number attached.  I'm just perplexed as to why we went from a really interesting conversation to nothing. I am sad and disappointed as it started off as the process to get to know someone.  Which lead to me realizing how interesting he was and our bond began to develop.  Once I stopped hearing from him it hit me I wanted to talk to him more than I wanted to talk to these other guys I had been speaking to online.  It definitely gained my attention and began to wonder and think more about him.
Now, I don't know what to think.  I know he works weekends and puts in long hours.  I thought by today I would have heard from him by now. 
What causes a man to display such interest in someone to dropping off in the middle of a conversation.  It wasn't like it was a conversation which had gone stagnant or ended.  We were in the middle of a discussion, I asked if I could ask him a couple questions, he said yes so I proceeded to talk to him.  Then...nothing.
My co-worker and amazing awesome friend, Theresa, thinks there is something up and there has to be a reason for him dropping off.  There was the internet being down earlier this week.  A police officer was shot and killed in Memphis this week.  I don't know if there is anything related to him not talking to me, but I am trying to be patient and understanding.  Unfortunately, since tomorrow will be a week since I have heard from him I have to just let go and move on.  Where I would much rather take him up on his offer of meeting and getting to know one another better.  It is disappointing, but there is nothing I can do and I don't want to be obnoxious or creepy to try and get a hold of him or find him.  I keep telling myself if it was meant to be, then it will some how work out.  Just a big bummer when part of me felt he was someone who had this potential to be someone to "work out".

The attractive and cool looking shelf is something he built and sits in a business

"Phillip isn't on hangouts right now.  Your message will be seen later."
