kassy Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 If you met someone online and then went on a date after a few weeks of emailing, and it was fun, and you carry on emailing....if you worked out while on the date that between the two of your travel schedules, your shift work and the study for the test for the promotion that you weren't going to get to see the girl again for 6 weeks, and you asked for specific dates on her trips, but then for your stuff you just give vague responses like "I can't wait to go on my dive trip at the end of the month" and don't mention one of your work trips till like the day before it... why are you doing this? Is it because you are interested and you don't want her to work out you two aren't going to be in the country at the same time for the next 6 weeks?? (or is that hopeful girl thoughts! haha) I don't understand, why the awesome emails etc etc if you never want to see someone... what a waste of time and effort... why bother??!! I guess my problem is not that I haven't seen him, because logistically it has been a nightmare, but a part from being great with emails, I have nothing to suggest he ever wants to see me again... and I did pretty much say I wanted to see him again (in an email - in a lightearted joking manner in response to something he had said) but it opened the door for him and he didn't do anything but just completly ignored it and carried on as usual... WTF? I have only just worked out that I think we aren't here at the same time until the second half of April! What's the story guys?? and what do I do?
mrt336 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I've had a long, busy day. My apologies but I can't really understand the question. The first paragraph is confusing to me.

Author kassy Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Sorry, also overly tired...even I couldn't understand it when I re-read it:rolleyes: I think this guy I met online and we had a great date worked out on the date we wouldn't be able to see each other for 6 more weeks due to travel and work commitments, but kind of with held information so that I couldn't work it out until now... do guys do that sort of thing? Or is he just emailing all the time for some unknown reason with no intention of seeing me again? I don't understand, why the awesome emails etc etc if you never want to see someone again... what a waste of time and effort... why bother??!!

I don't understand, why the awesome emails etc etc if you never want to see someone again... what a waste of time and effort... why bother??!! Sounds pretty typical for internet dating. I always made a rule that once I went from emailing to live meeting, I wouldn't go back to emailing. It's regression instead of progression. But as far as do guys do this all the time? Yeah we sure do. But women do it all the time too. What do you mean work it out? You guys agreed that you couldn't see each other for six weeks. What is there to work out?
MalachiX Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Maybe it was a mis-understanding. If your e-mails are anything like your first post, I don't think it's hard to imagine you might get your signals crossed. In all liklihood, the guy didn't "withhold" the fact that he couldn't see your for six weeks so much as didn't think it was worth bringing up since you hadn't been on a real date. It would be kind of lose-lose to mention it. It might put a downer on the first date since he'd start off by saying that he couldn't see you for a while afterwards and you may not want to go out with him. Or, you might find it odd that he's already planning a second date before the first.
