I find this so weird
Find a Conversation

The next day he emailed me and we continued on this email run for a few days until I asked him to call me because all the emailing was getting impersonal. He asked for my number and called me that night (spoke for 2 and a half hours). Then the cell phone text messaging started. After a few more days of text messaging along with the emails I asked him if we were ever going to meet, after which he replied “yes, we’ll meet up for a drink when you’re ready” to which I replied “why don’t you call me when you’re ready”. On Friday I received a mail from him saying that he was looking forward to a weekend all to himself where he can eat, read and sleep. I sent a quick answer back telling to enjoy his weekend and I haven’t heard from him since.
What I find so strange is that my experience with meeting people is that you actually meet them! I don’t want to beg him to meet me and I felt after 10 days of communication, the next obvious step was to meet up. He is quite a bit younger than me (he’s 24, I’m 31), but he seems quite mature in his ways and is keen to settle down and have kids. Can anyone shed any light on this kind of behaviour?

Pianoguy thinks you're trying to "overanalyze" everything that has occurred so far.
Granted...there's an age difference between you, but if you're not uncomfortable with this factor...ENJOY SOME TIME TOGETHER! Don't try to write another chapter for your life story until you experience the events firsthand.
Your new friend sounds respectable on paper, but the only way to know for sure is to have a few social encounters. Share the respect you have for one another and see if any 'bouquets of flowers' begin to bloom between you.
Best of luck,
