A new friend of mine were having so much fun the last time we hung out but now he isn't texting me back at all. I don't want to nag him so I've been leaving it be as it is, still I'm worried I've done something wrong. I just wanna know if this is a teaching of life in disguise.?

So I've made a new friend about a couple of weeks ago on the light rail and it was so crazy how it all came into fruition. He's a native American guy and was drunk, so he wasn't in the best mood. However, that all changed when he told me that he had gotten on the wrong train so I ended up offering to help him. So we get off of the light rail and make our way to my local Starbucks where I decided to get him an Uber ride to his home, which was quite a ways away for like 11 o'clock at night and he most likely would not've made it home on the train. I couldn't afford to spend that much money on the ride, so my mom pitched in and helped us both. To put it shortly, he was very grateful and in a much happier mood after all that, plus he got more booze and made friends with the driver! I gave him my number and the next day we hung out for the entire day, it was wonderful! But now I can't seem to get a budge outta the guy!!! What's goin on here!?

So, in conclusion, I'm mostly wondering if this is some sorta life lesson appointed by whatever higher deity out there to teach me a kind of patience or to help me expand my horizons. I haven't been dwelling on this so hard I've ceased to function normally, though frankly, this dude has not left my mind for a while. You see, I am bisexual (as is he, though he's asexual as well) so I have to admit that I've certainly fallen in love with him. It's becoming rather painful to be parted with him for so long... ;((

I've left him texts, and as I've stated, he's not gotten back to me in maybe a week or so. It's kinda driving me up the wall, and I'm not one that can go unacknowledged for too long. Still, I refuse to aggrivate the issue further, since I don't know him well enough and our relationship as of right now could be too fragile for me to be pushing it. I miss him a lot, but I'm not gonna beg him to talk to me, so I've been leaving it alone and I'm sure it might pay off in the near future. Dunno, this is just hard for me.

What lesson am I to learn from this? Patience? Diligence? Preoccupation? Independence? Time management? Is it because I'm in love with him that we've got some distance between one another? Or will he just cause me anguish and stress, so that the higher being doesn't want me to deal with the burden of bad mental health?? The biggest lesson I guess to swallow is patience, and I've gotta feeling I'll need a good load of it with him.

Not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, had no idea what better place to post this in. I tried to find buddism but there weren't too many followers there so I'm submitting here. Thank you for reading!!
