well the married thing is usually one of the things I think of too - but I didn't this time

not sure why - maybe because she didn't say he's given a bunch of stupid excuses for not meeting

In need of some advice. I think I'm over thinking this...

About a month or so ago, I was chatting to this guy on another website and although we sort of hit it off and agreed to continue chatting with a view to meet but we didn't firm up a set a date.. however, whenever I logged on, he was always online.

I am going to be completely honest and admit that part of me was ‘checking’ on him and the other part of was doing exactly what he was doing i.e. chatting to other people...can anyone say double standard :smile: we hadn’t actually met or set a date to meet so no harm, no foul...

The strange thing is that whenever I emailed or IM’d him when he was online him, he either sent back a one liner or didn’t respond at all...so me being me, I just left him alone and didn’t visit that website as often...and yes, I was trying to avoid him.

On Monday, while online, he sent me a msg accusing me of ignoring him and wanting him to chase me. I reassured him and we chatted for a bit and agreed to meet again in a couple of weeks - I want time to get to know him - and I gave him my number...he didn’t give me his.

It’s now Sunday. He hasn’t called...I’m not avoiding him this time. I’m also a bit rusty at this and I think he’s playing...what do you think?

Before I get all the he's playing...let me be a bit more honest and say that I'm the one delaying meeting him. He did want to call me the day I gave him my number but I put him off...so he probably thinks I'm not serious about meeting him...


IDK, but I see some red flags that indicate to me that he may be a scammer. First, he's always online. Second, he was accusing you of ignoring him. Those type of things just tend to give me a scammer feeling. I'm not saying that he is one, but it wouldn't hurt to look up his username, real name, phone number, any information you have on him.

I would say trust your gut, if you feel he's playing you, chances are he probably is. Then again, it seems like it still too early to tell for sure.

Walk carefully, keep your eyes and heart open. Hopefully it's not what it seems, but if so, it's better to find out early before investing too much into the relationship.

There needs to be another way to check out this guy. Does he have a Facebook account or his own webpage? Something simple as an e-mail address would be better than nothing.

Even if I am not physically meeting someone, I give that person an opportunity to browse my home page. I even included its URL on my profile.

Transparency is a must. If a guy won't give it, then why trust him?

Normally if i am talking to someone and become close,
I will give them my facebook and number and move it
away from the dating site.

I prefer to talk on the phone and open
my facebook to them, as it allows them
and better view of who I am.

Normally when I get or give a number
we contact each other immediately.
Like if you gave me you're number
I would have called as soon as I
received it(unless you told me not to).

as for being online and not replying
or replying with short messages.
I am online a lot but I am not always
near my computer. and sometimes
I can only make short replies.

On computer it is easy to get pulled
in to other things, and even talking
with other people. Honestly I would not
stop talking to other girls until
I knew for sure we were gonna be something.

If he has been hurt he may be scared
or he may be playing you never know.

have you sent him that email and has he replied yet?

From what you've said here, it does seem as though you're not serious about meeting. WHy would you give him your number, but not let him call that day? If someone did that to me, and put off meeting me, I'd think they weren't serious either.

Sounds like a lot of drama to me. You are just occassionally chatting and he is acuseing you of what? Sounds like this guy is not playing with a full deck.

If I was either one of you I'd be running like Forrest Gump from both of you. Sounds like neither of you knows what they want.

And I’m breathing a BIG sigh of relief that you’re not either of us.

Maybe once I reach your advancing years, I might have everything sorted out and able to give really unhelpful and useless advice as well but thankfully I’m not anywhere near you in age and I always try to offer helpful and useful advice if asked.

But I guess it's easier to make smart arsed remarks when hiding behind an image of a toy.

I did have an email address for him but I deleted it when I decided not to pursue things with him the first time.

Have to say, I'm as transparent as I can be as I am protective of my children however once the relationship develops and a modicum of trust has been established, I am more so.
