mortensorchid Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 Recently, I met someone on line and we had dinner the other night. He is very nice, although I wonder if he found me a little too edgy for him. He's very all American, which is fine, as I think I'm done with wackjobs and crazy people (aren't we all?). Today (Christmas Day) I sent him a text message wishing him a Merry Christmas, he sent me one back saying the same. I left it at that. The problem? Well, there's no problem at this point. We've only met once, but I see this being a problem not just for me but him as well. He travels a lot for his job. He said he spends 4-5 days a week away from home, then comes home for a weekend, does his laundry, then repacks his bags and is off again. For all I know, he has women in every city. Where does it go? I don't know. Maybe he doesn't either. I can see this being a problem, even if I never hear from him again. But if I do, should we just see how it goes?
EYECANDY000 Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 If he travels a lot then I think you need to cut off ties with him now. Because I doubt he is going to leave him job. YOu know what you can and cannot handle. I dont think you should judge him because of him occupation. Just because he travels doesnt mean he has women in every state. He could have the simplest job thats local to you and still have a lot of women. if you want to see how things go then , get to know him.

Why not just go with the flow for now? I used to work for a Big Four accounting firm, and I lived that road warrior life for 4 years. Fly out Sunday night/Monday a.m., come back Friday afternoons. Woman in every city? OK, it's possible...but far more likely he's eating dinner alone and ordering lousy movies in his hotel room. You don't know him well enough yet. Give it a chance. If you see red flags, be smart, protect yourself...but from what you know so far...I dunno, just seems like you are looking for an excuse to not even try. Take a chance, see where it goes. You'll never know unless you try.
Author mortensorchid Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 Well the travel problem is resolved. I never heard from him again. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
