I thank God every day, I'm too fracking old for facebook.
OP,
May be they are just not in the mood to respond back or you aren't as important to them as you think.
Me too !!!!!! Pick up the phone and call your friends instead of punching cryptic messages into that little device in your hand. We are breeding a whole generation of bent over people who are constantly staring into that little box. Everywhere I go I see people who are oblivious to everything around them. Just last week I saw a table of 4 people at a restaurant and instead of interacting with each other every one of them was ignoring the others and texting someone else !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are losing our ability to speak to each other, pretty soon we will not need voice boxes, just fingers to type messages on a screen. Email is just as bad, pick up the phone and actually speak to a human being on the other end..........it has worked for years and is very effective.
FYI, as of about 20 mins. ago, FB was down anyway, so one couldn't log in.
Correction: it's back up now, but still, outages do happen at any site.
I sign out of FB every time I leave there,
so if someone wants to get ahold of me they should email, not FB msg.
Some folks live on FB, and are on it all the time-
but some folks are not & do not, occasional (in contrast to constant) FB users do exist.
He has been on and posted multiple posts on other friends walls, so I can see he is most definitely active on Facebook.
I do not have his phone number, email address or home address. As of this morning, still no response. Oh well, I extended the olive branch.
Out of curiosity, I went through messages I sent in the past 2 years. Only 75% of them got responses. The most recent before this time, was February. What do these people do for a living that they can't take 20 seconds from their busy day and respond to a message, at some point in the last 4 months?

End of rant.

I do not have his phone number. Nor his email or house address.
I've decided that FB is still like those high school cliques! Just get rid of the people who never show an interest in what you are posting. I've done that.
I had a similar experience recently in a restaurant

... and I was really upset about it. When I shared this restaurant experience with my much younger co-workers, they gave me blank stares as if to say, Why does that bother you? One said, "Hmmm--were they talking too loud? What's the problem, just ask to move." Didn't "get me" at all.
People like that don't last long on my friend list. There's a big difference between someone who never answers messages because they're never online, and those who are on all day long and can't be bothered to respond to a message. There's no clearer message than that.
The worst feature Facebook ever added was showing what time someone reads your message. Stalk much? Sometimes I don't reply for days to someone's message. I've had people even on CD get mad at me for "ignoring" their direct messages. Sometimes I want to wait until I have more time to write, or I need some time to think about what I want to say. This person could still get back to you, and if not, is it really that big of a deal? Sure, the polite thing to do would be for him to respond, but for whatever reason he chose not to and there's no point getting upset over it. I deleted my Facebook a few weeks ago. It's not worth the drama. True friends get in touch with me over the phone and e-mail.
Maybe he was reading it on his phone and hasn't had a chance to respond... he could have been driving or gasp... working. People have lives outside of FB.
