He doesn't appear to be interested... what do you think?

I started talking to a guy over the phone superbowl day... it was a brief exchange of information; at that time, he said he would call me either after the game or the next day; he did neither. I felt potential in him and decided to text him on Tuesday to see if he was still interested. he responded in kind and we texted throughout the day on Tuesday; I felt there was a connecting element. He's 35 and I am middle forties. This guy, by all appearances, has great morals, and has steady employment. That's much of what I ask for in a guy, these days. however, I seem to be doing much of the initiation. besides contacting him on Tuesday because of his failure to keep his word, I asked to have an actual conversation with him the same day after work and also asked to call him after 8 when I was finished with what i ws doing. But when I called him after 8 he did not avail himself until much later. and then Wednesday night, we were talking, but he preferred texting. Okay, so I agreed. But after we hung up, instead of texting me to continue the conversation, it was 3 hours later when he did so. But the frustration set in when he text me and I responded and the replies would come in nearly 20 minuteslater each time. So then, I text him and told him that "he seemed distracted; that i was saying goodnight; he text back nearly 20 minutes later and said "just watching T. V. and I didnt respond. Thursday morning, he texted: "hi". That's not all: Thursday night, he text me after leaving work, upon my request, I told him I knew he was tired, that after he'd rested up would he contact me because I would enjoy talking to him. he never did. I am so frustrated and angry at this situation because I made it clear the things I was looking for. Just basic companionship and conversation. He doesn't seem to want to make time. of course, he boasted about never having been inlove or had a girl that he really loved. What do you think I should do about this. I really do like him because of his good morals and work ethics. but he doens't seem to be interested. what do you think? and how should I handle this? please, thorough and mature answers. I need good guidance. thanks.
