I recommend you to everyone who I feel could use your advice. Then one day, you notice a shift. 2. I have gotten counseling on my own and have realized he is emotionally abusive and Ive stopped playing into his games. He deserves more. I also agree with #4. Last week he told me he wanted to get to know me better and has now flaked on our plans. Ive suggested that Id love to get to know him beyond the texting. There is definitely sleeping with him too early. I dont think thats incredibly long if she really is busy. 1. And dont worry- there are more men where he came from. He does ask me questions and wants to get to know me, but very slow in response. We both have a lot in common- were fairly easygoing, we like animals, vegetarianism, certain TV shows and memes- it seems/seemed were pretty compatible in certain ways. Bp. Ok, Its a bit too intense for me, but wtf? Hey thanks so much for the level-headed advice! I met a guy on Tinder, chatted with him on Tinder for 2/3 months before we moved onto another app/met up. I stated in my on line dating profile that I want to date men in my city (New York). I do like this guy a lot. Id love a phone call when youve got time. I never felt quite right about the guy or all the DMing. After a few messages back and forwards, he asked if we could talk on the phone instead. Make it simple, and leave it there. I asked him if he still wanted to meet, and he said definitely. Stop fantasizing, ok Jennifer? We established that were both free on the weekends but he kept saying, Well have to find a time the more i pushed for us to either talk on the phone or meet in person i noticed it would take him longer to reply. Sometimes they hold back because they fail to find the words to say. Most men online act like boys. One day we were texting throughout the whole day and he formally and directly said that he wanted to meet me as he was interested in me. In person he seems really interested. If you've been questioning why he's been hitting your inbox every day, know for sure what it means below. We are very different culturally so the time together was a little strained but we really connected on the phone so I stayed open chucking it up to nerves. He seems like he tries to impress me, has worked on my vehicle, didnt allow me to see an unflattering pic of him,etc. There are some people who dont immediately proffer a date until they feel comfortable with the person theyre speaking to. However he was leaving in another state and didnt tell me. We clicked straight away and chatted lots and discovered we had lots in common. He is 47 . We initially were texting everyday for at least a week before we met because he was traveling. I responded and asked him did he want to.his response was he didnt know hell see. Also, he initiated a road trip for our third date (we are about an hour away from New Orleans, LA). good luck with that. Dont waste your time with any guy like this, Christine. I am a mom with co-parenting 50/50, week over week. He looked very gentle and respectful and said he has fostered kids many times. Bp. From what I can tell he has had his heart broken twice and that is the reason I think that he is afraid to have a relationship with me. How awful if I had said yes and then on the date I dont want to but feel like Im obliged to. As a responsible mom, I dont want them to know Im dating at all until Ive been with someone for at least a couple of months and am reasonably confident theyll be around for a while. I wouldnt keep up with the textingits not getting you anywhere. First, as I said here, its not a good idea to talk for hours on an app. Hes shares very little about his dog. Bp. 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. Thank you so much! Are you at a point in your relationship where daily communication can be expected? Another friend made a joke about us being together and it carried through the evening. We met again through Tinder a year later and we had an amazing date right back to us and unfortunately I slept with him. Hes just a text buddy. Hugs, Bp, Hello Bobbi, I met a charming man online (not in a dating site but in a professional network). The messages are always long and we chat about anything. My issue is the opposite. He left town a few days later to see his large family over Xmas. He decided to leave as he had to take a flight next morning. Get my personal secret to getting a guy devoted and obsessed over you. Dont know. In my opinion all rules for texting apply for online chatting. Not good. I am tired of always reaching out/seeming more interested but at the same time whats the harm? He doesnt tell me anything about himself over text messages, but he would tell me things in person. Besides, even email can be too impersonal and cause misunderstandings. The next day i dont hear anything. Hi June. Bp, I had a pinger for 3 years. He was so keen and complimentary and sounded so genuine but I guess it was a game. he says its for us he says he wants to get married we chat on hangouts is girl is I s on there to with her pic have seen him her in pic together Im on disability/lonely gave him only 100 that I didnt have please help me I have no family or friends. Maybe she doesnt enjoy texting. instead of being supportive and understanding if you really like someone, you are being needy. This is about being an adult and facing the realities head on. Thank you for clearing this up. And what are appropriate expectations of the holiday time. I said ok. Two more days of good morning and good night then I get a text saying he wants to be honest and respectful. The next day, as we parted ways for work, we kissed, and I asked him if Ill see him again and he said : yes, lets do drinks again. he didnt. This was very confusing? Go on and live your life. You are strangers. You can ask for a second one, its not wrong just dont over push your boundary. Like I say in the article: thats not a relationship. So he wanted to reschedule. We had a phone number change, now the working out of the country. I hope you can start making choices based on face-to-face meetings and truly getting to know a man. I have said about meeting, he says yes and then doesnt tell me when he has a day off. Finally I sent him a Snapchat and he responded. I received a picture from him when we first started texting, but he said it was an old one. I arrived at her apartment, her nephew was there, to take her out for lunch. I am so glad to know that, Trish! Weve never met. Im worried :/ I message him again. Is he losing interest in me? I said yes to the 2nd date but my gut is telling me something is quite not right because it is only texting since. We also have plans for tomorrow. And stay away from these guys who arent yet Grownup. Its been 9 months now, and he still rarely texts. Confusing, Tonya, seems to me that its time to start depending on yourself instead of men. or should i give it a try? That relationship started going bad, so I started talking back to this man. The last 2 weeks he is another person only writing me about his problems and stress. Thats a positive thing, right? Then, I waited for many hours later to reply to him that a coffee next week would be nice. If you're texting your boyfriend when you're both at work during the week to stay in touch, that makes sense and is totally cool. I was very honest in the beginning that I am not a fan of texting and need a call and a real date (coffee/drink). Help. I find men hide behind the screen because it doesnt evolve emotion or inflection of your voice, to some men I guess this is scary. Welcome! He school assessment finish at 10 am. Youre holding on to some fantasy not what it is. Im not sure if my situation is just text book or if there is something there with this guy. Bp. The magic came from sharing values, sharing vibes, sharing energy. You always say to mirror. Traffic That Converts We've perfected the science of driving organic traffic. Im a very realistic person, and I think if we havent met in person yet, we cant get to know eachother (like you mentioned), so I dont want to go in too deep over Skype because some subjects are better left in person. You wont be losing anything. Fast. Bp. At first, we texted normally but just after three days he is being extremely sweet. We are miles apart with a different timezones. Im 54 yr old woman who met a great man on match. If not, hes just not for you. Yes, you can tell him youre interested in getting to know him and texting isnt the best way. Date should be next week. A man who is from my hometown but lives 4 hours away, started messaging me on Messenger. Please reread the article. Thats not who we talk about here. I dont want to get too invested again. If he wants to see you he knows how to ask you out. Again, Im really glad to hear from you. Then nothing for two days then a call to say he was on a long distance haul with work he drives a delivery van he said he was thinking about coming to see me when he got back but it would be too late that night 9.30 or 10pm and he was exhausted. I am a older woman and not single but separated. Point taken, that makes complete sense. He lives two hours away (I know first flag). He texted for a couple of days, seemed nice. Then due to his late replies, i got irritated and we had a very small misunderstanding but since then, its been 1.2 months, no text from him back. Way to go! Perhaps he just wants to talk again so he can ask you out. This has been going for almost 3 weeks and Im really starting to like her And I thought she was in to me . Its been going on about 2 months now. Am I wasting my time or is it too early to tell. While dating and getting to know someonenot so much. He hasnt offered to accept my request of a phone call. Ive just started chatting to a few nice men online and found one i particularly like. 3. Bp. We definitely started to care about one another and us talking to each other every single day, I had no doubt that we really liked and enjoyed spending time together. You are on your way to dating like a grownup. He bought me my fave chocolate bar which i feel was an excuse to come over to see me, unfortunately it was the night i couldnt make. (He kept having very legit excuses like work has been hectic and unpredictable so he couldnt get together). I always hope for the best. For me, would rather meet someone at social event, in a meetup class or church group. I am not feeling like he is moving into pinged territory. We went out a couple times and hes very much a texter keeping each other abreast of our days, not to mention his sweet talk via texts. A lesson in living as if. Sure, in the back of my head, I thought maybe this could work out. And if he cant, dont jump in bed with him. Devote your time to men who show up and who you can meet, ok? Now the first day we texted alot. Ive read some advices on Google then they told that we shouldnt have sex until he commits. It does not take the place of an in person experience. If you say that you want to speak and he doesnt acknowledge or comply, it says hes not truly interested in a real relationship. I decided before taking this plunge with the current guy, if Im making the right decision? you assume men needs to chase and keep doing the text? Texting is also good for a quick had a nice time or sleep well note following a nice date. Any things you can help with. About 3 months ago, guy from dating app messaged me and I messaged back. Youd be happy to talk on the phone or meet up. I mentioned communication was very important for me; he promised me it wont never happen again. You are right however, in that its important to remember that I dont actually know this person and I know even less about what his end-goal may be. I have a gut feeling that hes either in a relationship or just hiding something in general. I met with a guy from one of freelance jobs for drinks and we proceeded to see each other 3 times in the next 4 days. I met a guy online and we chatted once on the phone and were messaging for almost a month. And yeah and he still the same he said he loves me but its hard to believe knowing him he been through a lot of relationship. I started falling for him through the conversations and have not even met him once since he is miles away! I had such a great time with you! I look forward to it, pretty sure you and i could make hanging out in a paper bag fun ;-)! But any way I went he chose RSL club to meet near where I live. Do I get a 3rd cell phone? Very soon into the conversation he said that we should see each other soon and that he missed talking to me. It sucks. We are both 61 yrs old and I have a gut feeling hes actually seeing someone. We belly laughed the whole time, had a TON of stuff in common, great flowing conversation and we were both super attracted to each other. The following day I texted saying I had a good night and he agreed but since then the texting has died down. You know I believe strongly in being clear about your neeeds but I also want you to be realistic and not miss opportunities. if hes not or cant say what he wants, move on. Every now and then he may ask me WYD or HOW WAS/IS YOUR DAY? But nothing else. Keep being open and trying to meet men. Before we started dating, he was even able to text me on breaks during work. He all the way from the blue mountain which was 3 hours if you catch the train. Granted he may be sending it to others but it did make me feel very special. Some people are too nice to tell me that. Its 2015. At the end of the day he just dont do actions I would expect him to do regarding helping me. A few selfie exchanges and requests to do different activities without a date set. When you think your relationship might be ending its easy to spiral, but take a deep breath. He said hed come to my Neck of the woods. I am not experienced with guys at all and he told me he had never been with a girl either? He gave me his number, we started texting in whatsapp and then he found my facebook profile. Works. I knew from the start that it was going to be long distance texting/chatting to see where things go. Bp. Dont want to be messaging her and come across as needy or anything. Do they have family in town? We text everyday and chat every week. But we seem to be going round in circles I sent him a txt after a txting situation that got out of control where we had role play which turned into punishment role play..ie he wanted to punish me i asked why he said cos he would enjoy iti wasnt keen so put an end to it saying I prefer pleasure to pain, We didnt txt for a week or sothen he came back with his usual one word txts hello or boo or just morning which drive me insane.ive even dropped a subtle hint that I find texting really jarring and prefer to talk on the phone to which he responded we have done really well with flirting by txt so far and that was that, This guy is so different than the guys I would normally go for looks wisethe way he dresses from what I can see from his picture online anyway, Sexually he is exactly right for me..his sense of humour is bang onour exchanges are electricwhen I look at other people online or in everyday life no one comes close, I am very aware that this guy is not my boyfriend ..weve never metive gone so far as to research his star sign hes a taurus/aries cusp Im an aries/ pisces cuspand all it says is that taurus males take things super slow and often observe a persons behaviour before deciding if they want to commit and then once they have decidedthey commit to you with everything they are. Still not even one actual phone call because he says he hates talking on the phone. Lucky me!!! To be open. Unless he was in a "my house burned down" kind of an emergency, these week-long spells of silence indicate that you're standing at the cusp of "we went from texting every day to nothing".Talk, you boneheaded dolt - - -That's it. Take a look at my blog Online vs Offline Dating. The feeling is super duper mutual thanks for my naughty smile today ;-). We are texting sparingly though it has died down from when we first matched on the app. While the possibility that slowdowns in texting behavior can be a sign of a relationship in decline, the real takeaway here is that there are more reasons that it isnt a negative sign than there are reasons to be concerned. Though I would say one more thing: are your expectations realistic? Trying to see if I should reach out to her again or just let her go. The day he went out with that girl he told me that he went out with friend for hiking but I didnt care that much because I thought that it was a male friend. I said ok for Tuesday. My situation: so I been dating this guy for roughly 3 months now, we TEXT everyday morning and night, we been on couple of dates. What are your thoughts? A week later I see on his facebook (we Dont and never followed each other only on IG ) He posted he is in a relationship!? Hugs, Bp. She may not respond, but at least you did what you could and put it out there. There are so many nice women who are looking to meet a good man. Hugs. Im a flight attendant. I have been texting with a guy I met online for just about 3 months now. Ask him! Weve been communicating for almost a month now. Take care of yourself now and learn from the experience. Contents hide 1. Best of luck! I just let him be, I cannot hinge my life on his indecisiveness. From my memory we did align well with our personalities the one thing that had me hanging was how he loved and appreciated my family. We are both 33 years old and single parents. And he didnt texted me again, because I had said Id rather meet in real life Shit I felt bad, had I been too harsh on this guy? Sorry, I havent an idea of whats up. He's Bored 5. First, as I say in the article, texting isnt dating! Hes a widower of about 18 months, took care of his wife as she was dying of cancer. When you've been in texting contact with a guy and he suddenly disappears there's always a good reason for it and I'll go over with you all that I can to help you out. Im going to say it straight: Hes not playing any games or wondering about you. He suddenly stopped texting, and now hes back after 4 months. But then the thought of being a lonely cat lady gets me back out there! We agreed to a 2nd date two weeks ago and have spoke about it but he couldnt give me a date he is coming over. Just like the article says, Stephanie, texting is NOT dating. All I have to read is that you started with dirty texting. However, this guy is the only man I would ever consider introducing my daughter to. I recently met someone online and have been dirty texting and also been trying to get to know each other. After this conversation I stopped texting him, and then after exactly a week from our last conversation he texted me. I casually mentioned getting a drink elder tonight and he said he was too tired. I thought he was the one. We continued speaking after the new year but now I notice a distance with him. So either hes not a grownup or not interested in a way you might want him to be. Am I crazy? So I met this 58 year old man online. I got bitten big time by a charming, funny, flattering texter extraordinaire a while back. But I do not understand have someone can profess true love and really feel that without having met the person first. Ask him if hes willing to talk about how you two can come to some agreement on what works so you can continue. So I got the picture, he wasnt interested but thought I will give it one attempt. She is basically an unfit mom and they are in heading to court bc he wants full custody, but now the mom claims he is not the father so they are also doing a paternity test. For a month we text and call, and lastladt weekend it was going to be our first time meeting up and he even suggested a branch date. It's been one month since the release of 301. Instant connection and fun messages. Thanks for your post Bobbi, I am a 41-year old middle-eastern girl living in Europe for a bit over 5 years. You have no idea whats going on in his life. If youre looking for a relationship youre in the wrong place Bp. Yes, youre being foolish and only you can change/fix the situation. But then this happenedI had just pulled up to my house when he texted me to see if I got home ok. I just dont know how to deal with it or make him open it up to me. Or just thinking i will message him sooner or later seeing as I told him I liked him alot? We had a good time, we danced to a song. I need to somehow find out if he even cares to have a relationship with me its almost been a year . Talk to them about nerves beforehand, it will help them to know that you are nervous too. We still wanted to meet in person and now that Ive thrown it out there he has not replied. Sometimes things like these work. hours and those so happened to be the days I didnt hear from him and one of those days he had the day off. I liked him instantly and we had great chemistry. He showed a lot of passion and enthusiasm for me while mentioning of going out to walk the dogs and have a coffee etc. Learn more, work on your own resources and your self-esteem and respect. Dont look back. I stand very firm on the idea that texting as a replacement for dating is dangerous. Sounds like he doesnt like to text. Ive been talking to this guy on and off for the past 3 months. I suggest sheasks him to call her. Bp. But with the internet times have changed and I suggest you adjust your expectations accordingly. Super affectionate, good convo about undergrad, etc. Just be clear with him that youre looking forward to meeting him in person soon. But then it didnt go anywhereHe thought (or pretended to be stupid, he is very intelligent otherwise) I just can move in with him. Think of how you met. And then, the minute he was thrilled and responded with deep affection .. you guessed it, Gone Girl (or man). Tell him you enjoyed Talking with him and youd like to get to know him a little better. You are right to see his willingness to attach so soon as a red flag.- Bp. I feel defeated again! Including as a backup date! Ive searched and traveled miles (in my mind) to find it. All of a sudden he told me that I am not looking for anything serious. In one of my texts I had mentioned I live with a late friends husband and that we are just roommates. Or, just looking for a friend? He isnt ready for a relationship. Some days we text more than others, but there has almost always been a check in. Sure you can text him once every few hours but just don't drag the conversation to the point where he has to check his phone every few minutes just to reply you. I tried to not text him that often and he would be the first one to text me how was my day. If youre worried about them knowing your info, then get something like Google Voice. Im still a little new on the dating departmentI started dating pretty late. Again, when a man is into you AND hes looking for the Real Dealhe will move mountains to be with you. He replyed that he didnt see this coming and he just thought we would meet after my skiing trip. Bobbi, I met a nice man online. so initially he wanted to have brunch. I pushed once and got an afternoon with him, and he seemed to enjoy it, but it didnt feel like his idea. Say yes. In person I recently asked him if hes dating other people, he genuinely seemed confused and said no. We text chatted quite a bit (several good morning texts messages and Lots of texting in the evening after work). But, he continues to text me every day and calls me once or twice a week and when he calls, we are on the phne for 5 hours and he claims that this never happened to him before. Even if he is interested, these are red flags. Bp. I have pulled back from texts and he has started to step up. I actually really like this guy, and would like to see him again and see where things go from there. My question is: does this story could mean something in terms of relationship potential? Best. I missed that in your first message. To me this is very strange but I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. ( we did speak anout 3rd date doover lol), Why not? Bp. I just broke it off with a guy who only communicates through text and we are in our 40s! This guy sent ANOTHER string of messages after silence and disappearing for several weeks after I asked him to call. We went on several dates and things seemed to be going well. All I know is that when a Grownup man is into you you know! I have a Facebook account and dont usually get requests from people to be friends often other than the people that I already know. I have asked her for her phone number, but she refuses to give it to me. Thank you Denice. Bp, I understand about texting and preferring verbal contact. and he texts wyd. I have a client who because of COVID has been video dating with a man for 4 months. Then over Christmas weekend he disappeared, which is fine as he was with his family and Im with mine, although my children are with their father this year so I was looking forward to hearing from the guy. This is different. I really need to take heed to your advise but he is such a nice man. He sounds excited to see you, but he always seems to be too busy to meet. Amber- like I said in the article: texting is not dating. So I took a girl out on a date a couple days ago. That will always come first. I wouldnt expect a man to contact you within 24-hours of a date. I just received a text message from him saying Hey, how have you been?. We still texting, but hes still on line looking around . I feel so hurt but I still could control my feelings and never confront him yet.PS( when I tried to end the things , he did not want and he said he still wanted to keep in touch and talk to me). Ask him about his life. Let me know how it goes. It saves me from wasting time on losers and gives me more time with men who naturally fit my needs and style. I stopped texting him for one week coz i didnt want to disturb his family times and he reached out to me later But just before he moved to another country for diplomatic, he changed not texting me a lot or he sounded just a normal friend. I have met some men mostly on the internet but nothing happened. Thats what Im telling you. Unless you just want to hang out all the time (instead of finding a boyfriend), start letting them ask you! A man who gets sexual before even meeting is not a mature man looking for a loving relationship. any answers,is he interested or am i wasting my time? Give this a read: Attract Good Men: Show You Need Them. I thoroughly dislike text. Ugh Im pretty sure Ive fallen victim to the serial texter. He disappears ( goes off the grid) on non work days.
