ugh i hate it when i start thinking .... that at some level it's a test because then i start wondering if that's what i was doing initially and second guessing my intentions only as you said you were wanting to reach out when you needed your T; and now you are waiting on that response - all perfectly legitimate thing to do and were done outside of any "testing agenda". as you've said there are lots of possible reasons for the delay in response; still hard waiting though for you and i hope you hear back soon. I don't think your T is deliberately holding back on you because you let him know how important the contact was or how hard asking was
