Aye. Plenty of fish in the pond. If you care about someone, you don't come up with lame excuses.

Maybe you have had a lucky escape, because he never reached the punchline and asked you for money, if you never met in person you don't really know who they were or where they were. There are storytellers online with their own agenda. |

Thank you everyone for your insight. The consensus seems clear. I will move on. Wow, online dating can be so hard. Yes, it is VERY hard. That's why I maintain that we should use Mingle/other dating sites, and meeting in-person as one of MANY ways to meet people. Good luck. |

I spent two months emailing, texting and speaking on the phone (1 time 7 hours) to someone local to me. In all that time, he always had an excuse not to meet - work, side jobs, pre-planned events with friends, having half custody of his child. They were probably all realistic reasons. He seemed to like me. I know I liked him. I pushed the issue because I was becoming very perplexed. I received a curt and somewhat angry text in return. I responded within 24 hours with a final goodbye message. I really, really miss communicating with this person. I feel as if I'm missing and grieving someone I never even met. Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do? My male friends all indicated that if he was truly interested in me, he would have found a half hour in his schedule to meet me. Is it too late to at some point in the future reach out again without seeming like a crazy person? |

I'll let you in on a secret...There is no such thing as online 'dating'.
At best, you are pen pals. I met a man from the UK at a different forum. We messaged each other about movies, games and life. Then his messages stopped. Come to find out he died. He was a pen pal but I didn't REALLY know him because we never met. Online 'dating' can get pretty personal but you never know for sure if it is what it seems until you actually meet. The actions of 'your friend' is that of a pen pal only. He is OBVIOUSLY not interested in meeting you. Try to learn something from this so you don't repeat the same thing with another. When you learn, that is called 'wisdom'. Wisdom should tell you to move on and let it go. You shouldn't need online strangers to tell you what you already know. If you are able to go do things, try putting the same effort into face to face encounters, you may have better luck. Online 'dating' sites are tools. Tools you use to get to that face to face. If you are not getting face to face, you are not using the tool right. |
