I know you guys would want an update. So, I attempted to contact him one last time, with text messages 3-4 days apart to leave some breathing room. He responded to the 2nd one saying he didn't see the first one earlier. He explained his schedule briefly and I explained to him why I wanted to have the phone conversation. He seemed to understand my point of view and also explained that he will be very direct with me. I didn't get a chance to tell him that I didn't know him well enough to know that he would be direct and straightforward with me as many people are not. I did tell him that I have attempted to and will still try to be the same way. I think he could sense that. I did tell him it's a good sign that we are still talking. Then I had said all I wanted to say and he didn't have anything else to say. I knew he was feeling tired and needed to do more work. So, I let him go. There's a good chance this will end up being a quality, platonic friend at least if not more. Currently, we are both interested in possibly more than that though.
