 If he is 'mature' and has no ex-wife and no children, then there also must be a reason for that. How mature is he?
You have to think that if a guy has got into his 40s with no baggage, then he has been avoiding life on some level ... or it has been avoiding him. Or he is simply one of those slightly unusual people that one comes across from time to time, who just doesn't quite have the confidence to follow through.
Or, although he likes you, it's only as a friend, and he's also too shy/unconfident to explain that to you, so he is also avoiding you.

 He's probably just wraped up in everyday life and he forgot about it. Is he a busy guy?
Sound like you might be over reacting because of a text messege.

There's nothing that I know of that could get in the way - there's no ex-wife, no children. The only problem is this text I sent him 3 months ago before he went on holiday for two months. He didn't reply to it and told a mutual friend he would apologise for not responding, but he hasn't and hasn't text me since. Yet we go out with mutual friends and he seems interested in me when we meet. Asks me lots of questions, considerate towards me and talks about me to our friends so what's up!?

I too think more info is needed. Does he have any family? Ex-wife? Children?

I don't think there is enough info provided on this but he might just be really shy or nervous.
