I informed her that I think we are better off as friends, I really like her there are just alot of things I dont understand (Male roommate?). The next day, I saw he was online, so he must have found my message and phone number. Im thinkingwhat happened to this Monday, tmrw? Some of them were not too great and none of them resulted in a love connection. Its great that youre stirred! Im not sure why you want to end it. He was very open. He went on vacation and still kept in contact, Either by text or even calling me and showing me his vacation spot. He made a joke on the last day we saw each other that hed call me to hang out when he gets back but Id probably be on a date. I told him I had a lot going on and he said talk to me tell me.

We exchanged numbers and started to text all night long. Bp. I called and left a message. He told her about his crappy day at work. Xo.. He would text me saying "good morning" and "good night."

Is he just pumping the breaks or slow fading? Now he says he prefers texting. Hi May. Are you at a point in your relationship where daily communication can be expected? Does he think Im only hes fuck buddy? Have I been to harsh and unforgiving due to being cautious. Ever since then we have been texting almost everyday for the past two 1/2 weeks. He texted mostly after this meet up with some phone calls. But, we reconnected last week and I reconsidered. And we cannot meet as he lives in another state. But he never followed through with an actual in person date. If youre looking for a love, Run. What was happening is I was over analysing and he was trying to second guess me and work me out .

Very open with his feelings and i have told him i like him as well. Bp. Bp, Hello, i have a question and a concern. He said he couldnt wait until I got back to meet me in person. I think its just you want. Im afraid youre experiencing confirmation bias and ignoring contrary evidence. I feel stupid I believed his flirts and telling me how much he wants to pursue me and become an item. I definitely dont want to chase him but what gives. He didnt seem to care anymore about me and it hurt. It's new, it's fun, it's exciting. Men my age on line dont really want a commitment. Over a matter of a few weeks, he went from acting excited to see her and pursuing her to spacing out dates. I decided before taking this plunge with the current guy, if Im making the right decision? No its been 6 days of no contact. He invited me to his place. If youre not in a rush, and neither is he, its a good situation. He cheated, or at least attempted to. I somehow feel like Im the one doing the chasing because we only get to text in the mornings before he gets to work and the evenings but he doesnt initiate most of the convo and if he did, itd be something like, how are you? or what are you up to? and then I carry on most of the conversation. One more thing: Remember that you DO NOT know him at all. On holiday he rang me and my friend grabbed the phone from me and said hello to him. Be patient, though. Hes begging my forgiveness. said wed meet again but his messages have practically stopped,hes reading my whatsapps but not replying? Dont be surprised if 1) Hes surprised you have a problem with it this way and 2) he cant change it. That means not to judge a man who doesnt offer you that exact lovely date and being open to meeting other ways. Initially I told him I wasnt interested as he was only into casual. He responded immediately and we sent 2-3 texts each. I agree with you 100%.Texting is great when youre in a relationship. Does this sound like a man who is interested? Just found your website, I am a 40 year old woman from the Netherlands, hoping to meet her guy in time to start a family, so every help is welcome! I definitely liked her and mention that I would love to see her again. What do I do?? Mirror his texting habits. He has started professing his undying Love, loyalty, commitment, he sends me things with hearts and blowing kisses and he tells me that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He still wants to keep the communication going but I dont think its a good idea seeing that I like him smh. After that, he had to take care of a family member out of town then also got sick while at the same time still saying he was interested. Weve exchanged a few texts since but I havent heard from him in two days. But he also mentioned how the past 2 days hes only worked a couple G'luck! They do not act like men.

We finally met, and he wasnt nearly as charming, confident, or ready for a relationship as his texts led me to believe. Hi Shane, You read the post, right? It became obvious to the group that he and I spoke to each other more often and we would always end up seperated from everyone else. Also for the years I have been texting him, he has been single. Live your life and dont beat yourself up, my friend. I agree with everything you say, but I met him online 2months ago (he is a far away relative, Im eastern so its fine) and unfortunately he lives across the world. Never heard of pinging. Why isnt he coming to meet you NOW? and gave me his phone number and I sent him a text so that he could have mine as well. I was at times afraid to beme. Even on weekends when he is home literally doing nothing, he doesnt make plans with me, he just texts all day. and he said He will no longer work in my home country and he got transferred to another country soon. All I know is I could swear that connected was real. Continue getting to know him.

Now he hardly texts and he has called maybe once and i missed the call. Yes, I *want* to have a voice call with an online man Ive never met IRL, because thats not creepy or awkward, not at ALL, Hi Allyson. He quit texting good morning and nothing at all. He is working 24/7 for the moment until he has found some new empolyees. He texted for a couple of days, seemed nice. Maybe he has too many issues or is too immature, or maybe he wasnt into you. Thanks you have been very helpful. I had gotten some no so good news earlier that day and that just piled on top of me not getting to see him. Understanding men does not have to be complicated.

Doesnt really matter. A few days later, he texted me asking my plans for NYE, and I said nothing solid (this was a Weds, so an acceptable amt of time before the day he mentioned us going out). 1 week later and as I didnt have any news from him, Ive decided to ask explanation about this behavior, and shared my feelings about his silence.

Of course we had to dissect this at work the next day, my female coworker saying that I should follow up this text with something enthusiastic and casual, and all of my guy buddies are saying no you let him know you had a good time, leave it at that and let him chase. I recommend that let him know that if he feels he is stable and still wanting to explore getting to know your to get in touch. Hope that helps. What should I do?
