One of those "is he interested" ?s

Ok, so I know from the beginning the answer is probably no, but I'm new to the whole online dating thing and am finding it to be quite different than I anticipated... so just looking for some more experienced opinions. Ok, so story:
Emailed back & forth with this guy probably 2-3 times at which point he asked me if I wanted to meet. The "meet" lasted about 8 hours, I had a good time and as I was leaving he asked if I wanted to hang out the next day. At that point I agreed, however some very bad circumstances (for me) came up the next day. I called to let him know that unfortunately I had to bail. We emailed a few times, but then I didn't hear from him for awhile. I finally called him, didn't hear back for about a week. When he finally called back (left a message) he said he was sorry & he'd been really busy but asked if i wanted to go out that weekend. I already had plans out of town. Haven't heard from him since then (before last weekend), called him on Thursday & left a message seeing if he wanted to do something Saturday.
I guess I'm just confused. Is he just totally laid back? Is he not interested? When do I need to stop pushing things?
It was my first real contact with anyone online and I'm now seeing that he is quite "normal" compared to some of them. I'd at least like to go out again, but don't want to become pushy...
Thanks!

Unfortunately this sounds like a typical online thing. You'll see an awful lot of this.
This is a guy who isn't THAT interested in dating. He's doing this for fun. And you're one of many - he calls you when he doesn't have anything else going on.
Don't expect too much. But don't necessarily write him off either. But don't be holding your breath waiting for him to call.
Thanks so much for your reply. It actually made me feel a lot better.

That line especially seems to fit with what's going on. Thanks for the words of experience :)
