Ever notice how people treat big money decisions like they're just ignoring a text about weekend plans? It feels like the bigger the number, the more it short circuits basic manners. I see this all the time now, not just in business. Someone will commit to something serious, then just vanish when it's time to sign on the line. Makes you wonder if the number itself is the problem, like it scares them off. I'd send one more check in, but honestly, their silence is your answer.
