Now he asked to meet again, should I agree or is he doing this just to pump his ego? He would call me every day and we would talk for at least an hour he would send me a good morning text every morning and good night texts every day and we texted throughout the day.

I patiently waited for the right opportunity to ask him out on a date, but then I ended up in the hospital for 5 days.

He has dated someone seriously enough to introduce to his kids, I have not. Weve exchanged a few texts since but I havent heard from him in two days. But its hard to believe or feel secure with anything he is saying via text without any viable actions of commitment. I If so, then the slowdown in their texting is nothing more than the usual ebb and flow inherent in all areas of a comfortable and secure relationship. Maybe hes just not creative. later he all of the sudden texted me again, asking if I would like to go out some time. I understand things end but I feel so used and he strung me along and I also do not understand how he can say he cares about me abd always will whether I know it or not? He made plans to see me on Monday, cause he couldnt wait to see me again while we were at the bar. Am I the problem? Texts all day everyday while we are at work.

So I was talking to this guy through a dating app and everything seemed great. Its a good idea for you to examine why you held onor even cared. The second time we set up to meet I went and bought a dress , shoes, nails etc. 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. I realize he is NOT into me but he is a NICE man and I would like to have him as a friend if nothing more. I met a guy on my holidays back home. We have had a several other meetings, usually he came to my place. It got better for a little while when I blocked his number on my cell phone so he HAD to call me and speak to me if he wanted to see me. After a week or so, i texted him back and asked why he disappeared. Don't kid yourself or make excuses for the guy.

So we start texting and he was texting a lot making me laugh etc. Because, again, texting and chatting online is not really connecting. When a man is interested he reaches out and tries to spend time with you. Bp. There are also apps that let you show that number when you call out. I enjoy talking to him. You may never know either. He's treating the relationship as something he can enter and exit whenever he feels like it. I dont need conflict. Read everything I could get hold of on widowers and dating and for now, I am trying not to take it personally and am at least emailing other men on line in case things go south. One night he told me the next night he would be in my area and did I want to grab a drink and i said yes. You are mourning over something that wasnt a real thing. I dont know what this is all about but I dont feel it really warranted and explanation nor an update as it was obvious he wasnt interested. We met online, he's a young professional, everything's he's told me checks out (I've googled liked crazy), we connect so well, texts are flirty, we exchange pictures, and it's been going on for 2 months. Im realizing that none of it was real even though it felt real . We always, always have a great time, weve even spend nights at each others placehowever in the past couple weeks Ive noticed a huge decrease in his text messages, before Id get a good morning a goodnight and other messages in between asking about my day, I miss you text etc. He messaged me xmas day and New Years. Yup, Bobbi is rightand you are worth more than that! I gave him a nudge after a day and he txt to say hed been busy. Wow. Also in my mind I felt that it wouldn't make a large difference given that we can't really meet for a while anywaythanks though, i may suggest it when i text him :). Krystal I really have no idea. Hi G2bjillie. Great job on the sure we can be just friends. I agree with you that texting is not the same as dating. He has been chatting with someone else he has a strong feeling for. You feel like you are getting to know one another, but that is not whats happening. I did not accept his friends request right away. Im pretty sure you are being played. Which I suggest you do. Close your eyes and appreciate it just for you. We got back together after his 500 mile hike; he rented a car and drove a coupla hundred miles out of his way, exhausted, to see me rather than to his town. ). So I ended this relationship 3 times already and I was pregnant during this period of time too, unintentionally. Learn the insight & ability to detect if hes for real, using you for sex, a player, a good guy, or one of those rare REAL man you DO want. You can watch my free webcast How to Know When Hes Into You. I would have to agree. Ideally, one or two texts a day are fine, and then texts/quick phone call to arrange a date. Now. Talked about meeting up. Should I have tried to meet him during the few days he was here? Best. And i said lets meet at 11am and ill leave for work at 1.30. What do you think? He called me amazing. I made the decision to text him that now I was cancelling the date, although I really liked him and was looking forward to see him, but that I was missing some action and genuine interest in me. I dont think thats incredibly long if she really is busy. You have fallen for a FANTASY. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. His primary mistake was to assume a relationship after one meeting that wasnt even a date. We had a lot in common and just seemed to really relate to each other. I feel stupid hope u can advise me at 50 I should know better. Just tell him you like him and then tell him what you would like; just as you told me.
