When do i call?

I cold sent a Linkedin message to a principal in an MBB in London and he replied "Happy to chat with you, tomorrow i will return to UK tomorrow ,give me a call" And gave me his number.

I figured that it is better if i ask him when he wants to do the call so next day i sent him an sms asking him when is a good time for the call stating that i finish work at 7pm and weekends are free. But i have no answer back.

Maybe i shouldn't have said the thing about my availability (because obviously i would take the call anytime) but its an internship and i hypothesized that 1) He will be busy in the mornings anyway 2) 7 is early for him so it wouldn't be a bottleneck.

Am i overthinking this? When should i do a follow up ?

I threw a wish in the well Don't ask me I'll never tell I looked at you as it fell And now you're in my way

I trade my soul for a wish Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this But now you're in my way

Your stare was holding Ripped jeans Skin was showing Hot night Wind was blowing Where you think you're going baby?

Hey I just met you And this is crazy But here's my number So call me maybe It's hard to look right at you baby But here's my number So call me maybe

Hey I just met you And this is crazy But here's my number So call me maybe

And all the other boys Try to chase me But here's my number So call me maybe You took your time with the call I took no time with the fall You gave me nothing at all But still you're in my way

I beg and borrow and steal

 

I appreciate the time and thought you put into this. Good trolls are rare nowadays. But maybe "Call me when you are sober " would be a better option here
