if it's genuine, i just can't see gaps in communication, even a quick IM or email is not out of the question with today's technology. i would say move on...now.

He just may be a busy person


The busy excuse doesn't work for long. Quick emails/phone calls/texts work fine even if you're busy.

You meet someone online, you nudge back and forth, you email back and forth. Spend hours and hours on line chatting. Both seems to be what each other are looking for.

Then disappear for a couple days, pulling double duty (without stating his job, I do know this is plausible, that and last min. trips.)

Phone calls back again apologizes, picked right back up, No prob. More plans to make plans to meet.

Disappear again for 2 days.
Sent email stating asking if he was still interested in meeting to call if not no worries and good luck with your search.

Emailed back explaining a last min trip and will be back Thursday really wants to take you to dinner, spend time together over the 4th, lets make plans. Still very interested(More plans to make plans).

Great you would think to your self, stop worrying about it.

Another day and half go by and you see him online but no email IM or anything. His daughters did have him sign up and could have been logged on but I think that is just reaching for an explaination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Being strung along or not? I think so....or am I just being impatient?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I hate games, and I feel like I am in the middle of one.

Your thoughts?

****if it is not constructive comments to assist then keep them to your self please, I am just looking for a little advise from people who have been here awhile******



I don't know if you're being strung along or if he's just really too busy for more than an occassional friend.

Possibilities:
1) He's involved elsewhere and can only talk to you when she's not around. Are you willing to be on the sideline of another woman/man?

2) He's just too busy and even IF you meet and things evolve, he'll probably still be too busy. Are you willing to be on the sideline of everything else?

You have to decide.



Good point and I really don't want either. dealing with the job thing I could do (he is military) but other than that I will pass.

Thank you all for your help. I am not insane....LOL

Why cant we call out the names or ID's of the people we find are game players or hiding that they are married?

everything online is just that... online until you actually meet the person. and if meeting the person becomes a freakin treasure hunt fully equipped with pirates then let it go.

if he wants to see you so bad let him chase you for a while.

There ARE websites that list real names and/or online names used by jerks. Unfortunately, not enough people know about them and use them. I have actually ran across the names 3 people on those sites that I almost got involved with. Glad I checked them first!

Well, here's one reason -- what would you do in a situation where Person A got angry with Person B, for whatever reason, and decided to try to ruin their reputation on the site?

See, we don't KNOW that things happened exactly the way someone says they did -- there could be underlying ulterior motives for this sort of accusation.

As a practical matter, it's best not to allow the naming of names in the first place.

OMG!!! I wrote my heart out describing myself in my first profile and it seemed no one paid attention to what I actually wrote (lots of replies that made it obvious they didn't actually read it) and now that I've changed it to a smarta*# one, I keep getting told it's great.

Too funny! rofl

I would appropriate it. After a 16 year marriage it is strange to start dating again. I am way out of practice...LOL

I agree with others, it sounds like he's just not that into you. Some people talk with many online friends at once (including me). Interest in each person waxes and wanes. When I'm into someone, I talk to them all the time, and if something comes up to where I can't, I let that person know why. If I'm not that into the person, I talk to them once in a while. I don't think it necessarily means he doesn't like you at all, just that he is probably MORE interested in someone else he is talking to.

Good luck!

Wait ... you mean that I can't rely on the complete, 100% truthfulness of everything I read online? Pshaw, I say! It just can't be true!
