rosalie Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Am happy and dating people I met offline but I am most interested in someone I've been emailing online, he makes me laugh and blah blah... I know this isn't life or death, but it means alot to me right now... I'm only getting used to the dating thing again so would appreciate advice, male and female... I'm a year out of a divorce (late 30's) so baggage is (always) there but good and minimal. I've been speaking with this guy online for two weeks, all lovely and chatty and every few days regular. Due to the holiday season, today he's gone back to his hometown for a month (8 hours north from where I live) and we haven't met yet. He emailed me last night asking me to write after tomorrow as he doesn't have access to Outlook there -- I take that as I want to keep in contact so he can speak to me from his online ISP provider? Am I wrong? He didn't ask for my number though? He said he'll be back late January and "maybe we should meet up" after that? My further questions about how to handle my response email are (and I know they are basic, again, I'm out of practice after being with the one person for so long): - How soon do I respond, I should really wish him Merry Christmas before Tuesday shouldn't I? - Should I offer my number and say call/txt/email anytime (meaning he can whilst away) or give the impression he should wait until he's back? - I know his birthday is in January, whilst he's away, I notice especially as mine is too - should I ignore this (I only know this from his online profile starsign). i.e. Is it an opener creepy/stalkerish? Should I be like "Oh, ok another year older for both of us" hahaha type thing or ignore it all together? I know he's the type of guy who doesn't upfront ask for my number and let's meet tomorrow (we've exchanged 3-4 emails) and I like that about him, I've spoken with many who straight away want to meet after one email, which I don't like... Sorry for the basic questions but I'd really appreciate the advice Thanks!
Legend Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Best rule of advice. If you like him, don't play games, respond when you want, or when he writes you. The whole 'wait x many days' crap is just that. As far as your number / texting etc. I'd wait at least several months. But be a good judge of character. best of luck!
