I don't understand South Beach

Please don't think I am crazy because I am obsessed with someone I met one time...

I didn't totally delete South Beach from my phone - apparently, when you are drunk, you miss a couple phone calls here and there. I am headed to NYC this week and since South Beach travels as much as I do, I texted him yesterday to see if there was an outside chance he would be in NYC this week. His company is headquartered there and he lived there for several years so I thought it was worth a shot.

This weekend he was on a guys golf outing and he called me yesterday, in the middle of his guy golf weekend, to respond to my text. I missed his call so I didn't talk to him yesterday, but I took it as a good sign that he called me while still on his trip - right???

I returned his call after waiting the appropriate amount of time (so he doesn't think I am sitting around waiting for his call). Left him a message. He called back tonight and we talked for 30 + minutes. He won't be in NYC this week :(

I am not complaining, but why does he call? He doesn't have a trip planned to Atlanta. He apparently used to travel here a lot, but his work schedule has changed due to a couple things and he doesn't come here as often. He isn't asking me out or inviting me down to SB so I don't get it. Again, no complaining - but I am not sure of his intentions. Thinking from a guys perspective, he wants to keep me engaged in case he has a trip here? I don't know. Again, more confusion in the dating world.
