Uhhh, can I suggest another possible reason (having had some experience with this in my former life as the father of a teenage boy)? He's a teenager, with friends (who ain't his dad) and maybe some of them are called........ "girls"? Just mentioning a possibility.

Have patience, he'll be back.

I know they already said it but my guess would be a Doe in Heat, that he's been tracking for the last couple weeks.
