how to tell if a contact is blowing you off

What're some typical signs that a contact is blowing you off?

I've been sparingly corresponding with a CS PB and his responses tend to be short and barely address the issue

The usual makeup of his responses: "Thanks for the follow-up"

(answers a question or two) -End-

I want to believe that he's busy, but I have to be judicious about how i network and spend time where I can get the best opportunity. Am I being blown off?

Alternatively, should I up the ante and ask if he wants to grab a coffee or something else equally as quick?

thanks

Anacott_CEOKey word is 'sparingly'. Try to build a better relationship with him

Edit: no homo

ok. i'm guessing with VPs they'll just stop responding when they don't wanna deal w/ it anymore? consideirng their schedule and shit

 
IRSPBWhen your dick is in his mouth?

But on another note: apply the same rules as you would in dating. The only way you know if a chick is into you if she says yes for a cup of coffee. Ask this guy out too.

haha thanks
