curious situation, need help analyzing

Why didn't you answer him when he called and texted? Because he took longer than a day? He'd never had a g/f before and he's in his late 20s (which is unusual) so he doesn't know how or what he's doing. I think you could have cut him a little slack and at least heard him out.

If you're feeling anxious about seeing him, imagine how he feels. These were his friends first and maybe he doesn't want to run into you either.

For whatever reason, it's not his heart that's exploding, it's his head. From what you have described, he's just not going to work on this relationship. Now he's miffed because you have mutual friends?

So - why would you try to work on it? Clearly he seems immature and not interested in developing something between you two.

Get on with your life. If you run into him, just smile and say "What's up?"

PS - time to put down that phone and actually talk to people you want to connect with. You both were too immature to really develop anything by text.
