Contact went cold

Have you guys ever had a networking contact that went from really warm to not answering any of your emails? In my case, they were super helpful over a couple of weeks and responded quickly/enthusiastically after a networking call, now its been over a month of no response. I know for sure that I didn't do anything on my end in terms of an off-putting email or something, it'd be nice to know what's going on. Can't really think of anything to do besides move on...

Happened to me a lot. Just gotta realize that like everyone said before, people get super busy and sometimes just don't have the time / they forget to respond. If it is not an alum, I'd recommend moving on after the 2nd follow up
