So here's the deal, I have been seeing this guy for about 2 months now, we do have a sexual relationship, and things seem to be going well, we had our, should I call him, why hasn't he called moments in the beginning but that's pretty much passed us so.
. Now he's in another country visiting his friends and family for about 2 weeks and he comes back in a week or so, and I told him to keep in contact and let me know what's going on and just to say hi, whatever, anyway he finally sends me a message on my facebook saying hey and that he was ok and asked me how my new job was going. You know normal things, so I wrote back to him and that was three days ago, and its not he hasn't been online to see my message, because I checked to see if he was online in the past few days since I wrote back and he has been, so I'm just confused and angry that he hasn't responded and I don't know what that means, I mean if he didn't care he never would have told me he was fine etc, when he wrote to me the first time.
So now I don't know what to do, should I write back and ask him why he hasn't responded, if he even received that message or what? My friend keeps telling me "hes in another country, you don't know what he could be doing, give him time to settle" and I totally understand that but you don't have 5 mins to write back to me. I just don't get it.
What do you think is going on? What should I be thinking? Most Importantly, what should I do next?
Update: He recently messaged me back just to ask me why I wasn't going to work that day, that's not him responding to my last message.

No you should not write back. But if you do just ask him how he is doing and that you can't wait to see him. See what he says on that. He is having fun with his friends and family that is the reason he went there, he's not trying to ignore you. Stay calm and everything should work out. Wait til he comes home and see how he reacts around you and go from there.
I did write back, after he wrote me the first time, I said I miss you, can't wait to see you and all of that, and I answered his question that he had about how my new job was going, and still nothing and its going on 4 days now that he hasn't responded, I mean he had to have read the message and still nothing yet. So what happenens when he comes back home next week, idk, I'm so lost? - 6 months ago
There is something about being in another country. It can do things to your sense of time and take over most of your waking hours. I was terrible at staying in touch when I was overseas, and I was gone much longer. I totally alienated some people because I wasn't thinking. Now, (much) older and wiser, I wouldn't make that mistake. But computers and cell phones didn't exist back when. If I had all this technology, it would have been different. I can relate to what you are feeling. On one hand it's a two week trip and you have heard from him. On the other, if he said more about what it was like where he is, maybe you would know what to expect. If he's hiking in some mountains or in a country where it's not real easy to access some websites, that's another matter. I would think there are enough computers in most places and you'll hear more soon. If not, he would be smart to bring you something very special.
In that case it will be interesting to hear what he has to say for himself when he gets back. It's not that hard to compose just a couple lines of text to let you know you're not forgotten. That was maybe 40 words and I type with 2 fingers. - 6 months ago
