crrgoers Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 It is so nice of all of you to give your sage advice about dating. I am hoping that I can get some of your input on a current situation. I had one, one-hour chat session with a guy last Saturday. My laptop battery died and before I could log back on, the guy texted me, asking me to call him the next day after I got off work. Well, I called him the next day and we spoke for an hour or two. The conversation went pretty well. Well, I told him that I had to go and he said that he had to go because he had plans for later. That same Saturday, I asked him if he wanted to go get dinner later in the week, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. He said fine and to call him/text him later in the week. I suggested that we make plans right then and he said that he had an unpredictable week (he's an attorney) and just text him the day of. Well, I texted him on Tuesday asking him to go to eat on Wednesday and he texted back immediately, saying his law firm was dissolving and he didn't think that he could make it this week, but maybe next week. The next day I texted him, saying "Wow, so are you out a job?" He texted back later saying "Yup." Then he sent a SECOND text later in the day, saying, "I told you my life was bad right now." Some friends say that he is leading me on but others say that he probably is not leading me on and say that if he were, he wouldn't be responding to my calls, let alone, sending multiple text messages to me. I guess in the grand scheme of things this isn't a big deal, but I really have a gut feeling that this guy and I would really hit it off. If you were I, how would you proceed?
Star Gazer Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Do you know whether he's a partner or associate of his firm? If it's the former, he's probably in no place to date right now - he just lost his business!
Author crrgoers Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 He is only 26 so he's probably an associate!
Star Gazer Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 And no more than a 2nd year associate at that then. He should be able to find a new position relatively quickly. But still, try to be patient for now... don't assume the worst.
Letranger Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Yeah, keep trying! He probably makes good money, so he might be able to afford two girlfriends. He is going through alot right now. Believe me, if a guy is interested, he'll respond. Maybe he feels a little embarrassed about being unemployed.
