So I've been talking to this guy for a while and we've been getting a lot closer lately. We both feel like amazing connection with each other, or at least he says he does, but we just feel right together. We skyped a few days ago and and were going to again today. I texted him at around 3 and he didn't text me back till 8 asking me if we could skype. I texted back and said yeah let's do it, he told me he was going to call in a little bit but never did... I kinda of just shrugged it off but still wondered why he blew me off. I didn't say anything to him about it though because I did not want to feel clingy or anything like that. A few hours later he called me while I was out and I didn't answer. He texted me after with a sad face and I didn't answer. About an hour later he called me again and I didn't answer. Mostly for the reason that I was out with people and I couldn't really talk to him. But do you think I did the right thing to show I'm not too clingy or that I am always available when he wants me? Should I wait for him to text me or should I text him first?

Yes I think you were right not to answer to him right away. You were genuinely busy. There could be many reasons as to why he didn't text back or skype that time. He too,could have been genuinely busy or got distracted. Or he could have blew you off.
Either way I wouldn't make a habit of ignoring him on purpose just to get back at him. I know that's not what you did but for future incidents.
I would text him and keep it casual Say "Hey,sorry I was out with friends and couldn't really talk the other day. How is everything with you,you never skyped me" Or something to that effect.
It's good not to be too clingy or desperate but at the same time you don't want to keep getting blown off. If he continues to do it I would have a talk to him about it or else move on. But for now keep talking like you usually do and allow for the fact that you both on occasion might be busy. But don't take crap either. If he says he is going to skype and then continually doesn't somethings up.
Good luck and much <3
