Wee have done this for a little over a month. Be an enthusiast about life. Just like a first date irl who ends up not returning a call after you meet, it takes all kinds and recognizing when the feeling is not mutual is always key. Hes married or 15 years old orwho knows. There are so many out there!! This Outdated Rule Needs To Change! Now he asked to meet again, should I agree or is he doing this just to pump his ego? Please dont take it as anything serious.

I met this guy on a Saturday night, I was out clubbing with my friends and he happened to be in the same place I was. Am I delusional? Now its January and hes leaving for Iraq in February. I can see why even good, solid, single men love texting. While doing this you leave too many variables open as in: Him pretending he's someone he's not. See what happens.

I had to mch which ruined the rest of the night he left my apartment unhappy because it was obvious I had to much to drink apologize the next morning by texting and I feel so in appropriate I want to see him again but I dont know if I should contact him after apologizing to him about my one too many glasses of wine He had texted and said all was good but I dont know if hes going to see him again and I want to let him now I would like to get together again but I dont know if I should text him or wait to see if you text me I would much rather him call me on the telephone but We only text.

He told me that it was because he had set those profiles up and then after setting them up a few days later they would lock him out and he couldnt enter them again therefore he had to create other profiles. Dont focus on this guy, ok? What are your thoughts? Hi, Ive been messaging this guy I met online for 3 weeks now. Im 45, tall, blond and quite attractive and dont have a problem getting men. Not the sexy kind. Its one thing to slowly get to know someone who lives in your city since you can see each other regularly.

I said no just busy with work deadline. He must have felt my interest wherase I sensed he had less interest. I met a guy through a dating website. And now I am very happy with him. We have seen each other once since the first message and he called to come to see me one other time but I had plans already. Its not this guy.
