Okay, analytical self coming out here.

Interesting, it appears the females say dump, while the males say to put a toenail in the water and see where it goes...

Very interesting...

My first thought is that these sound like warning signs that he may not be all that good for you. Most controlling and manipulative and potentially abuser type men are very nice and charming and wonderful to a person. That he starts to belittle you and trying to find flaws to point out to you indicates that now he might be indicating that, oh people wouldn't want to get to know you because of these things and that you are better off just as you are, talking with him. You aren't even in the came state and dating and he is doing this. Imagine if you were. I would move on.


You definitely hit a lot of the details right on!

How do I get my heart to move on?

back in the day alot of guys were taught not to cry or if they were sad a parent would tell them that they were feeling sorry for themselves so the sadness got replaced with anger so now some guys when they get hurt replace the inability to feel sad with anger ..which doesnt help when trying to express their sadness ..because it comes out as anger..just a thought but maybe relevant ..teaching a boy not to cry is not a good thing but im sure we can all remember (big boys dont cry )..it doesnt help them because they hide their sadness and hurt with the replaced emotion of anger and unless you know the past you may not understand this

Dont be sooo hard girl, give him a go, Geez he wouldnt have reacted like that if he didnt care about you.
If you connect with someone, then why keep chasin?
Give the relationship a good chance by allowing him to feel that he is the only one and you are not interested in looking on other single sites. Why do that?
If he had raised his hand instead of his voice, yeah sure give him a wide berth, but raising ones voice is a normal human response to strongly communicating a message.
Wouldnt life be dull if we all spoke in mono-tone without any emotion.
Follow your heart girllove

You listen to the bitter and twisted replies in this forum, thats how.
If he had really done you wrong, then you wouldnt have to ask that question, it would happen within cos thats what YOU would want to happen and not everyone else.

My heart says he might be the one. He meets so many things that are important to me.

Okay, we've had some really good debate. I have listened to all of you...

I think I will text message him and see how he responds. This way I'm still keeping a barrier up to see how he feels.

What do you think?

Maybe because women are either given the information on warning signs, or have had a personal experience and have then had to do the research themselves. All I know is what little you've said, and it is sending up red flags to me.

It is very difficult when the heart and the head disagree. This is especially true with me because I have a nack for falling for mega, huge, big time, monstrosity losers.

This guy definitely is not that! His brain is orgasmic alone! Course, he also looks pretty good too. And, my dad would approve.

Meet him halfway.
Let him know your concerns and how he has upset you by raising his voice.
Let him know what is and isnt acceptable and you are willing to give him another chance.

Maybe thats why so many relationships are going to crap, because women see a red flag and run without wanting to work things out.

I agree! Even though I seem to be a little too trusting, I think a good way to approach this is to keep in touch and just see how it goes. He obviously feels something for you if he got a little hostile (which sounds weird) but if he CONTINUES to do it, then I'd say bad news. I know I have gotten what has been defined as "hostile" on here. I was young, but "picking" at something just so the guy would respond to me, or notice me, or remember me (it seems desperate now) but people do weird things when they're in relationships!

If you really think this guy is the one, then go for it.
But, be careful.

This is a very good response

Ya, but that whole loved and lost line I don't believe in.

I have loved, insanely head over heels been in love - with a loser. And, promptly lost. I would rather never have loved at all than to continually feel this pain.
