MidwestUSA Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I had put a smile at the end of my sentence to indicate I was being flirty and teasing. Maybe he was not single. I was starting to think it was unusual that he only emailed at night after 10 pm. I was kind of excited that finally a man a little older than me was showing interest. I always get approached by young horny dogs. I assure I do nothing to attract those, I dress and act my age. Oh yep, he's married. Why, oh why, do people insist that emoticons do so much to change the meaning of what they are typing? I look at words first. If I find them off putting, no number of winkies is going to change that. 3

ktya Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 If you had sent me that I'd be tickled and ask you out in the reply.
readynow Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Perhaps the guy didn't want to have lunch with you so he didn't ask... If you wanted lunch with him, perhaps you should have... The guy may have been harmlessly flirting and liking talking about himself only for this woman to ask him to ask her for lunch! If the man wanted lunch he would have asked. Anyway, maybe you've managed to interest him with the email! Hope he replies!
FitChick Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Perhaps the exchange was an ego validation for him. He might be married. That will teach him a lesson to not flirt because someone might take him seriously. Or... he might ask you out. Either way, good practice getting your feet wet in the dating pond. 2
gaius Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Guys generally do what they want to do, with rare exception. Trying to push one into something doesn't work because if he wanted to he'd be doing it in the first place. That being said, you did the right thing. Now you know the score and don't have to keep putting up with the flirting and wondering what's going on.

Disappointed. 1
Author Gaeta Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Well what do you know! Food Court man is back. I was having dinner at my friend when an email from him came in. He said that last day I heard from him (the 17th) he thought he was having indigestion but it turned out more serious and ended up a couple of days at the hospital and then a few days of convalescence at home. I was all happy to hear from him then my friend goes: I hope you don't believe that story !!! Would you? 1

I was all happy to hear from him then my friend goes: I hope you don't believe that story !!! Would you? I wouldnt believe it. Look, sometimes these types of stories are genuine. Unfortunately, most of the time it is a lie by a man who isn't that into you so much as to call you promptly to set up a date or at least shoot you able texts daily to demonstrate his interest. It sucks that a lot of a holes ruin it for the nice guys out there. I am late 20s and sadly, I already know all to well it is almost always a crock. Sick people still Yake one minute to send a simple text or two.
HappyLove Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Hmmm, I think it's besides the point right now. I mean don't you need to find out if he's married or not yet. And what's up with only emailing you?
FitChick Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 But he didn't suggest you get together. I'd drop it after saying, "Glad you're feeling better." He needs to take control if he's interested. 1

And what's up with only emailing you? Yes but how do I get to find out if he's married without talking to him. I also wonder what's up with the emailing. He could have written back, explain the situation and offer to meet.
