Called for a catch up but left a voice mail

It can be a bit awkward when you leave a voice mail instead of having a live conversation. Here are a few reasons why you might have done so:

1. You were in a rush: You might have been in a hurry and didn't have time to talk, so you left a quick message to catch up later.
2. You were busy: You might have been in the middle of something important or had a lot on your plate, making it difficult to talk at the moment.
3. You were feeling overwhelmed: You might have been feeling anxious or stressed and didn't feel like talking, so you left a message to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
4. You wanted to keep it brief: You might have wanted to keep the conversation brief and to the point, so you left a voice mail instead of having a longer conversation.

If you're feeling a bit anxious about not having a live conversation, you could try:

1. Following up with a text: Send a quick text to check in and see if the other person is free to talk soon.
2. Scheduling a call: Suggest a specific time and date to talk, so you can both plan ahead.
3. Keeping it light: Remember that a voice mail is just a quick update, and it's okay to keep it light and casual.

Remember, the most important thing is to stay in touch and keep the connection alive!
