Re: Am I overreacting?
On the flip side, I can tell you something which might come to your defence when it comes to how you are reacting. My guy best friend started talking to my girl friend and I was the mediator basically. Both showed interest in one another, but the girl showed a bit more interest than the guy. My female friend is Egyptian but lives in Dubai and my guy friend is from Karachi. Anyway, there was already a lot of differences between them, but some sort of attraction brought them together. They started talking on phone, but not much. Just texting a lot. My guy friend was going to visit his friends in Islamabad and he didn't tell her. She found out the night before. She told him to not go. She told him he could have told her before. My guy friend didn't reply back and went off on the holiday and didn't take her seriously.
He came back and now she's massively pissed off at him. In the end both of them cut off contact with one another. It didn't even reach the relationship or dating stage, because of not dealing with the other person in the appropriate manner.
If he was going, he should have informed you. Not necessarily via a phone call - he doesn't have to ring you, but a simple short text. I absolutely agree with you, if someone is really interested in you, they'll keep you in the loop with what's happening in their lives, sometimes even regarding unnecessary extra bits. He's messed it up a bit, and you are right in thinking about it, but I would say don't overreact too much by stressing yourself out on this guy's actions. I doubt it you've fallen in love with this guy after just talking twice or thrice. It shouldn't affect you that much.
Think about it, if you stress over it too much and he's the callous inconsiderate kind for the time being; but still a good match and human being regardless, you're going to miss out on a potentially good relationship. Sometimes few people need time to open up and start caring, even if they like someone or show interest in someone. Have to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he got caught up with things and forgot to call you, or maybe he didn't get the time or the chance. If you get angry, if you read too much into things, you'll lose out in any case. Maybe right now he feels that he does like you or have interest in you, but wants to take things slowly and get to know you better, before committing to giving a lot of his time to you.
Like someone else said, keep your options open and don't let a developing thing affect you this much. You'll know the truth and where you stand soon enough, give it time. Don't tie yourself or your emotions to one particular person, especially if you're looking at rishtas and not going down the date-gf/bf-love-engagement-marriage route. If you were, you could have gone crazy with your feelings for a guy and then leave it to fate to see where it takes you, but over here you've barely known the guy. You haven't even got to know him properly. Can't be overly emotional or sentimental regarding someone you barely know.
