Ask HN: Evaluate this behavior by potential cofounder

We've been talking for about 1.5 years, known each other for about 4 years ... talking off and on throughout those 4 years.

Throughout the past 1.5 we've been talking about different ideas, interest levels in different areas, and most importantly understanding if an idea resonates with us.

We found an idea about 4 months ago that resonated with us both, and have been actively talking to companies (customer discovery), but since about 3 weeks ago I haven't heard a word from him. We had been actively doing customer discovery for about 3 months talking to people prior to the absence of talking.

Anyone experience something similar?

    Have you tried a direct question? Something along the lines of "Hi! Haven't heard from you in a while. Is everything okay?"
