hey gals, thanks so much for your advice and comments! yes they have helped. i actually do not have a working car right now, i get rides to and from work from the sister i live with, but she's usually not available to take me around places during the day (she works)....
i don't know where he lives or even where he works (i know the name of the place where he works)
i did however email him and let him know it was urgent that he get in touch with me. he emailed me and told me his car and internet have both been broken recently, and he has been really overworked with parents and work.....
he says he needs some time to "find himself" and if i want to ditch him because of that, then he will understand, but that he still likes me and wants to date me when he will actually have time for me (which he said he doesn't know when that will be but he hopes soon).
so i guess i will give it some time, and if i get to feeling like i can't keep holding on, waiting indefinitely, i will probably break it off, he said he'd try to keep in better touch with me.
again, thanks gals!
