Hi Lisa,
Family occasions are often consumed by family. I know when I have an event in an area I often don’t tell friends and family I am there at all. There is no time.
Maybe that’s what’s happened here.
Think of it this way: Welp! He missed his opportunity!
Advice? Cool it with the texting. If this was a game, he now thinks he has the upper hand. *shrug*
Best,
Inky
