We are friends and like to exchange jokes, thoughts, and check on each other pretty often.I send him an email b/c I regularly visit the base he was making a duty when I met him. I sent him an email telling him that if he ever wants something that I can get for him here, he can let me know. I know he used to asked another GI here to send him stuff like cigars, etc. He hasn't replied and I know him well he will not or else he would have done it by now.Did I do something wrong offering me to send him stuff or what I say to him?

If that's the case he most likely is in the field or if he is in iraq or afghanistan he may be on patrol or something where he is unable to use the computer. I doubt he is backing off due to that email. Military personnel are sent away far from home doing what must feel like a thankless job and I think that they appreciate anyone who cares enough about them to send a care package. I do not believe he is like, "My God, I'm backing off because she wants to send cigars!" Relax and give him the benefit of the doubt. He's most likely busting hump and not at the computer. Good luck dear!

 maybe he feels that you are getting a bit too close for comfort perhaps he feels you are wanting something else in return from him.just leave it cool for a while and see what happens see if he gets back to you.don't send him an email or anything.just see what happens.he may feel you are getting feeligns for him and he doesn't want to lead you on so to say.hope this helps.
