tymai Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 So I've been single for a while now... My last boyfriend and I dated for quite a few years... but before him, I dated this guy for about a year and we've kept in touch over the years. Last week, I called him and we ended up meeting over drinks, one thing led to another... But we still had a great time over all (like we usually do, except the plus part). Since he lives about 2 hours away and left so late, I stayed up and we text back and forth until he got home. I e-mailed him the next morning, joking with him about getting to work on time and he e-mailed me jokingly back... Was pretty sure I hadn't crossed any lines, but I haven't heard from him since. I e-mailed him again yesterday just to see how his weekend went.... Still nothing. Not that I'm looking to start dating him straight on again, but a little response would have been nice... Or am I just being impatient? Anything anybody?
Kamille Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 I think you are being a little impatient. He hasn't replied in less then 36hours. some people don't check their e-mail in that amount of time. Plus you guys had one date-ish encounter together after a year apart, one that you initiated. He most likely has other things going on in his life and is simply not in a state of mind to jump into an instant relationship. which is great news because you say yourself that neither are you. Plus the bottom line at this stage in the game is this: it doesn't matter. You didn't cross any lines, you showed interest, it was all good and fun. the ball is now in his court and you are free to enjoy being single by seeing who else is out there. I mean, you dated this guy for a year and nothing came of it... I don't see why this time would be different.
Author tymai Posted October 3, 2007 Author Posted October 3, 2007 Thanks for the input, even though he probably thinks I'm totally needy now... I accidently called him instead of one of my other friends with the same name... Ha! How funny is that? Yes, I think too damn much, but then again, I've been out of the "game" for a while and am trying to get used to it again. I hate all the playing. It's fusterating.

The mistake dial is pretty funny Tymay, and worthy of an episode of Sex in the City. Welcome to the wonderful world of dating, where your best defense is a great sense of humor. And who cares what he thinks really? He hasn't done much in the last few weeks for his opinion to matter all that much. Don't worry, the saying is true... There are plenty of fish in the sea. Take your time getting used to the sea life before focusing too much energy on one perticular guy. The trick is to meet as many men as possible while being selective... Why settle for sardine when you could land a salmon?
