Thanks Dakota...wise words.

He is not "butt ugly" but he really looks so much older than I do and he is 2 years younger and it isn't just the age thing as far as looks go either.

I have really been considering meeting him. He does live about 150 miles away and he has already talked about coming up for a weekend..him NOT staying with me..and that was his idea. He assumed nothing.

My greatest fear is that he will become much more "attached", for want of a better word, to me and that I would be hurting him and I never want to do that....I actually told him, after seeing his photo, that there was no chemistry....I am all about honesty. He still says that friendship would be ok too but in the back of my mind, he does want more than that.....I am really afraid of appearing to lead him on and I sure don't want to do that.
well asd long as you are upfront with what you are thinking he should take what you say..and since you are not misleading him.. why not have a friendship..just keep the lines cleardancing

Im in my forties...

I think a picture is a must for many reasons. Your doing the same as I, I dont give out my phone # after one email.
Your a gorgeous lady with a good head on your shoulders..well maybe after you put your face on...kidding :)
be patient... you sound like a great lady, good things will come your way.
I've been single for years, 5 going on 6 in fact, with only very few dates in between. I can count them on one hand. It'll happen..
Thank you sweetie! rolling on the floor laughing
I DO look lots better with my "face on!"

It's not easy being single in your 40's in today's crazy world, but think positive! You are a pretty woman and I sure hope you find the man of your dreams here OR at the grocery store!!wink

JAG.....I TOTALLY understand your concern over this situation. It's never easy to back out of a situation you're not comfortable in. I'd say it's NOT going to work for you with him because pictures are worth a thousand words. If he's not butt ugly in the pic, he COULD BE in person! OMG...don'tcha feel bad? Does he have nice teeth? A good smile? SOMETHING going for him?

What the heck. IF he said he's okay being friends, then go for THAT aspect of it. Slowly back yourself out of any cozy conversations or those that hint at being a match made in heaven!
Sandals

He does have "something" going for him. He is slender, no pot gut, praportional, not really smiling so not sure about that.. wears glasses so can't really see his eyes....The biggest thing going for him is not his looks...it is his very kind and warm heart. I feel like that heart could be easily hurt by me too and I would never want to hurt anyone.

Hey Jag,
I had a similar problem with a man from this site....he was one of the first men to respond to my profile.....and he seemed really nice...lives in the states.....but his pic was posted and he was so not what I am looking for....sounded sweet and everything and when I told him that it wouldn't work because of the distance and because he was not my type and that there was no chemistry,......he offered friendship and some one to talk to....I thought that would be fine as a person can never have too many friends right?.....well was I wrong on that decision....3rd email in he proposed to me and wanted me to pack my stuff and move to the states.....telling me that god had sent me to him I was the woman he was waiting for all his life and that our love was meant to be....I politely told him that I was not interested.....he sent me another email telling me not to turn my back on our love....and that he needed me...so I told him that I didn't think it wise that we communicate any longer...he said I was tearing his heart out and that he needed my love....I had to finally block him......and all these emails with him were in a matter of only 2 days...don't get me wrong I'm not saying that your guy is this way....man this man that I emailed with was to the extreme of desperate....

wow...sounds crazy..lol... well distance isn´t really an issue is it?? i lived in the states before due to my exhusband.. and i have to say (hope my beloved boss -who i happily work for, for more than 7 years now.-great work- really...doesn´t read this)lol.. but if it comes to love and what makes you happy..i wouldn´t mind starting allover again somewhere else...life has so much to offer and being stuck to a certain location shouldn´t make you throw away love..?????confused

So many people to identify with here...Love it!

Sandals, a word of advice, if you want to call your friend but don't want them to have your number just block yours by dialing "*67" on your phone. I learned this from my 25 year old daughter!!! Lol!!!

Jag, I love all your comments...they have given me a good laugh!

One more word to the wise, TRUST YOUR INSTINCT, if there is something making you feel uncomfortable, there is a reason. I had a guy on here with no pic...when I asked for one he became rude. After going back and forth, he finally sent a pic...he was not bad looking! But something about his look said I am a bitter man. Turned out I was right.

Hot T

He has not gone that far.....yet....but he is telling me that he is falling in love with me more everyday..At least we are beyond 2 days....about 2 weeks now..lol...But that is way too fast...

He has said that we will go at my speed. It is just the factor of not wanting to hurt him. If I thought that he would be happy with the "friends only" aspect then that would be great...but I don't think he will....

than I would say follow your instincts be straight with him that you don't want to hurt him but that there is no chemistry and that you are not willing to be more than just friends and if he can't be happy with only being friends than you will have to part ways

Hot_T....your love interest was totally obsessive and it was good that you dumped him like a pile of poop! There's nothing cute or flattering for ANY man to be obsessive! Glad you're free of him.

JAG....I'm not sure about YOUR guy, but I'd be very cautious over the next few days. If he's already saying he's in love with you, I've got my doubts about you even meeting him. BE VERY CAREFUL. The more you say about him, the more I'm not liking his personality.

DAKOTA...good for you having such a great boss and a great job for 7 years. It's so important to love what you do for a living.

Aquiestoy......I don't believe I'll be calling the Professor. I've got a feeling he's much younger than 68. In fact, I'd bet dollars to donuts he's in his 30's!! Older gentleman just don't phrase sentences the way he does. We'll see if he answers my e-mail. I said, "It's really cool that you're a Professor in Communications. My grandson is majoring in it. What college are you affiliated with?" I kinda slipped in the "grandson" AND the last question, so we'll see if he answers.

DAKOTA...glad to see you. Oh for SURE we cannot be too careful about giving our phone #'s to anyone who comes along. So many men think they're God's gift and that we are all sitting around waiting for one of them to acknowledge us.

FYI....have you noticed how many people are curiously reading our topics but not answering? It's amazing. Too many lurkers and not enough posters!

DAKOTA.....I think there are LOTS of men reading our posts for one reason or another. It's okay if they're curious! Nothin wrong with being curious! wink

JAG....FOR SURE, take it a little slower with the guy. If you have been a little hesitant while he's been "rushing it," there's cause for concern. You're a lot younger than me and won't be pushin up daisies anytime soon, so TAKE YOUR TIME!laugh


FYI...just check the other site and after the Professor sent me 4 quick e-mails in a row, it's been two hours without a response to mine where I mentioned my "grandson" and casually asked what college he was affiliated with. The S.O.B. was probably Jack the Ripper in disguise! There's ANOTHER e-mail there from yet ANOTHER guy without a picture! I'm really beginning to wonder if it's not the same guy re-inventing himself over and over!!rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing Sick puppy!!
