Well I starting talking to this guy about a week ago. We sent emails about a few times then starting IMing each other. I don't usually give my phone number out, but for some reason I felt like I should. So since then we've talked every night, except for last night. It felt weird not talking to him, but I couldn't bring myself to call, even though I have called him in the past. I know he hasn't met another off the site I met him on, even though he's been online for several months. I'm not sure if he's ever met anyone from online before.

My question is - do I wait for him to bring up meeting or do I ask him to meet? I don't wanna miss out on something but I don't wanna seem too pushy either.




Have you been doing all the calling? ohwell If so I would definitely give him chances to make some moves flowerforyou

No I haven't been doing all the calling. Also, he was the one to initiate both meetings so far. I text him just to say have a good day, but he can call when he gets a chance or whatever. I didn't hear from him yesterday, but I know he's busy with work, so I'm not sweating anything.

I would wait for him to ask, when the time is right he will.

So far so good.... but it feels weird having to get to know someone again. I was with my ex on and off for almost 4 years, so getting to know someone new is a little out of my comfort zone, but Jarod's been great.

FYI - After the second meeting things fizzled out. Last phone call we had, he talked about being strapped for cash because of his ex-wife screwing him over with a car payment that she hadn't been paying on. I don't know but I got the feeling it was a cop out. He did email me the other day but it was one of those forwarded emails. Maybe better luck next time!!

It will happen when you least expect it and maybe even when you stop looking.

maybie he's just embarased about his situation. Might want to ask him outright, and know for sure before writing things off.

I thought that might be the case, and said that there are things that don't cost anything or very little. Even when we first met, the thing that cost the most was parking, but we probably didn't even spend $15 each. The second meeting didn't cost anything because we were at his house hanging out with his dogs. We talked on the phone a few times after that but then there was nothing besides a forwarded email a few days ago.
