jlsinphx Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 I need help figuring out if I need patience or to move on. I met this guy online and we had a few short emails. We ended up going out on a Sat. night and had a great time. We watched basketball, shot pool, had drinks, and just talked for 8 hours. The next morning, he emailed me and said he had a great time and would like to go out again. I told him I was only in town for 10 more days and then would be gone for 6 weeks. We decided that Thursday would work for date 2. We met for drinks and went to a movie, then more drinks after. He asked what I was doing Sat. I said that I was just packing. He said he would call me and we could hang out by the pool or something. He never called. I didn't know what to do, but didn't want to just let it end like that. So, on Sunday I emailed him and asked him to get together Monday night. I wanted to make him say yes or no. He said yes and we went and played pool and had drinks again. I was leaving in a few days so we knew this would be it for a while. He emailed me two days later to ask if I made it back to my hometown safely. I emailed him back. Then, I didn't hear from him for almost 2 weeks. I emailed him and he responded this time. It has been over a week since I last emailed him. Should I expect more frequent email or is this good? I don't get like this about guys, so I am kind of new to the "I hope he likes me" thing. I don't want to get my hopes up about him or be unneccesarily insecure.
nayton Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 continue to talk to him and see if he's interested in you as much as he is. if you feel that he doesn't have enough time to talk to you just wait for his next responce .. don't give up. yet don't think that he's really into you .. you don't want to worry yourself about it. he seems to be a really nice guy, he should respond but don't waste your time waiting for him. i don't have the best advice but it's something i would have in mind i haven't really experienced something like that but i'm here to help.
gabelee Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 In my experience, long-distance relationships of over six months are just not practical, even when you're married. If you're kinda sorta agonizing over this dude, just take the initiative, if it's possible for you to do so, and tell him you really liked being with him but can't do the LDR thing. That way he knows your feelings and, in love, after all ,that's the important thing. Start looking soon for a new love closer to home. There's lot of fish in the sea if you just cast your net on a sunny day!
