who hasn't emailed me in over a month. I sent him about five or so emails, but haven't heard from him in over a month now. It's not like him not to email me after this long. He is in another country right now (last I heard from him, he was) and he's working behind the scenes on a movie shoot. I don't want to flood his inbox with any more emails, but I don't know what else to do. I'm worried that something is wrong. Every day that goes by that I don't hear from him, I get more and more worried and uneasy. He's my friend and I care very much about him, but not sure what to do to in this situation. I'm not sure if it's something I said that may have offended him (not intentionally, of course) or if he's sick or just plain overwhelmed with work. I'm not sure what the reason is that he hasn't replied to me. What would you do - email him again or wait a little longer to see if he replies?

The last email I got from him was October 11th and my last email to him was November 15th (sent about five emails prior to that on different dates). Thank you for all your help and advice. I really appreciate it.
Please keep it serious as I'm at the verge of tears 'cause of all the worry. Thank you for being considerate!

I cannot call him as he is out of the country, as I stated.
I asked for all answers to be serious - no senseless, childish replies.

Thank you all for your kindness and encouragement! I can't thank you all enough for helping me put my mind at ease.
I don't have a phone number to reach him, as he is overseas (last I heard). He has emailed me while overseas, but just haven't heard from him in quite some time now - that's all. Thank you all again so much for your encouragement and consideration!

bronzedi: I have mentioned to him in the past that if I ever send him too many emails, to let me know. He hasn't said anything to me, saying that it annoys him nor has he told me to keep them to a minimum, so I doubt that my emails are ticking him off.

Atheist Rose: I'm not stalking him - I'm merely worried about him - that's all. I'm no stalker, but thank you for your input!

The only phone number I have for him is his business phone number - and that won't do any good, being as he's away from home and secondly, I have respect for people - wouldn't call his business line for personal use. Even if I did call and leave a message, it wouldn't do any good, being as he's overseas.

bronzedi: One other thing: I can't go see him, even if he was home. He doesn't live anywhere near me - he lives in a different state - many miles away, but a great suggestion nonetheless - thanks.

Pray and relax. God's got him.

Seriously,
It does no good to continue to email him if he has not answered the first email. I'm sure that in the 5 emails you sent him, you conveyed the thought that you are worried. Don't act like you're his mother. Trust him to contact you when he can. If he doesn't want to speak with you anymore, flooding his inbox will only piss him off. If he's sick, more emails won't help him get better. Just wait until he gets home and go see him.

you need to calm down first of all. You say he's working on a movie shoot. They work extremely long shifts, long hours, serious work. He's most likely extremely busy with his work to get back to you. When did he say he would be home? If he's not responding to an email maybe he doesnt have a computer? try a phone call? if not you might just have to wait it out until you hear from him; since there is not much you can do being countries apart.

Yes wait longer and see if he replies. If not just call him, or call one of his friends to see whats up. I'm sure its nothing though. To ease your wondering, dont check your mail everyday. Wait about 2-3 days. It will make you less nervous.
Working behind the scenes for a movie shoot is alot of work, and he is probably really busy.
Good luck

I would wait to see if he does reply. I know he wouldn't want to see all of these e-mails in his e-mail when he does check it because that would be a lot of reading to go through with all of those e-mails. He will reply back when he gets some time to as he is just busy or just hasn't got time to check his e-mail in a long time. He will check it some time and reply back when he can so don't worry about it.

Do you know the name of the company he works for? If you do, you could call them and ask if he's still working with them. If you really think something is wrong, you could call the local law enforcement in the city he is in and ask them if they know anything. Also, if you're a close friend, I would assume you have his phone number? You could also try that.

It is very thoughtful of you to care about your friend so much, but based on what you've told me, I think he is perfectly fine! He may just not have the time to talk to you, if he is in a movie shoot, he would be very busy!
Just wait for a bit longer, time is of the essence...

do you know if he has easy access to a computer or other e-mail checking device? do you have a phone number or another way to reach him (or do you have a friend who does)?
i would try contacting him in another way if possible---he could just have e-mail issues. if you don't know that he has easy access to his e-mail, i would give him some time---i know from experience that finding the time to get to an internet cafe while overseas is annoying.

Hmm do you have a phone number to call him at. I would wait and see because there really is no way of knowing if he has been checking his e-mail.

Well i would wait another few days, e-mail him again, then if still no reply try to get a hold of him by telephone or snail mail. if he is your friend and you are worried, im sure he wouldn't mind if you made sure he was okay.

If he was your friend, he would've given you a number. E-mails are not as effective as talking over the phone.... you know..
Edit: If you are in a deep state of worry, I would suggest contacting anyone else who you know of that is related to him by any means necessary. (Sorry if I hurt your feelings about the phone issue, but you should have gotten his number..... )
I'm sorry about your situation, my condolences go out to you.
