what if he says he loves you but his profile is st

another dilemma for me with online dating. he tells you he loves you and yet his profile is still up?

what are the rules? in a normal dating scenario, if one says he loves you then we assume said person will not be looking for another and will just focus on you (correct me if i am wrong). - how does this translate to online dating? when someone you havent met but have been in touch with every day for months and finally says he loves you yet, his profile is still out there. is this acceptable? should we then assume that he is still looking despite the fact? what is acceptable? i took off mine but decided to reinstate when i realised his is still up there.

online dating seems like the new frontier for some. myself included. when real time dating is already a challenge - online dating seems like the heart of the amazon jungle to the uninitiated. there doesnt seem to be any rules (or none that i could find) and things get easily confused or misconstrued. you could just as easily plunge into a ravine for not knowing where to look. what signs to look for? is it really worth it?

should we ask him why his prof is still active? or is it even worth a mention?

dazed and confused.

That's a tricky one cause how do you know he's being truthful? He could say the same thing to a few other women and you wouldn't know it. Don't let the "I love you" words blind you either! You will just have to go by your gut feeling. If you guys are truly a couple and both enjoy the site there's no reason to cancel your profile as long as you state on your profile that you're in a relationship and ignore all emails you get. But yeah, most couples after they have found each other leave the site. Good luck to you! I know it can be hard to figure out especially online.

Why do women question what their intuition tells them? Pay attention to your suspicions, girls. There's a reason you have a brain - use it. Don't spend time wondering, "Why?" It's a useless mental exercise that never gets to the real issue. BOLT.
I met a handsome German guy several years ago..He started out by telling me I was the only one he was interested in..lol
Then after two months, he told me he thought he was falling in love with me..We met, fireworks flew and he claimed he was in heaven to see me and talked about the future..Well guess what?
After another two more months and we had become physical, he started going on the dating site more and lied to me telling me he wasnt seeing other women or interested in anyone else. He kept his dating profile up and for 2 years he strung me along while chasing other women..I confronted him about leaving his profile up and how he was on there at all hours of the night and going on his "web cam" too..He said "what proof do you have I am seeing other women" ??
Ok well during that time he also changed his profile a couple of times still saying he was looking..But I held in there hoping he was telling me the truth..Come to find out, the guy was LYING..
This is the risk you take when you allow a guy your seeing to keep seeing you while he has a dating profile up.
I wont do it again, no matter what a guy says to me..thumbs down
hey music.. yeah, i know. too tricky. moping moping
hey lucky and swiss.. thank you for your comments and sharing your thoughts. should i just end it? or should i even mention the fact about his profile?
If I were you, I would either dump him or tell him about his profile and let him decide to leave it up or delete it..If he doesnt delete it then either dump him or date other men too.
A guy can still make another profile on another dating site you know..One of my friends met a guy on another dating site, he told her he loved her and to delete her profile..she did and he also deleted his profile on "that site"..He had more than one profile up on different dating sites though that he did not tell her about..The fool contacted me on another dating site, not knowing I knew his girlfriend..lol..He sent me a flirt and said he wanted to take me on a date..I recognized his photo and contacted my friend..My friend got angry at him and the guy tried to lie to her saying I contacted him first..I had proof of who contacted who first and showed it to her..Funny thing is as a female we are told to trust, nuture, love, ect..Now that the internet is full of dating sites, my trust level is very low.
Including my own experience with falling in love with a guy who played me for fool.
I personally wont exclusively date "one" man at a time untill I get to know the true guy and find out he can be trusted..Falling in love too soon and trusting too soon can make serious mistakes, including heartache.
hey lana, thanks - i think i would do that. mixed messages really does my head in pretty bad. blues blues blues why cant things just be simple?
Swiss makes a good point. There are so many ways to keep a profile out there and active.

If he wants to be dishonest with you he can do it a thousand different ways.....just make sure that he knows that YOU are NOT waiting around for him either. Make sure that he is wondering about you also....and make him sweat a little. In other words do not care as much and do not come across as so dependablethumbs up
you all make very good points. thank you ever so much. i guess at the back of my mind i already knew what to do next. but this being my first time to actually get into this online dating fray - i wasnt quite sure. moping
I guess like others have suggested you have to decide whether to call him on it or continue to date other men and not commit to him. Or get rid of him all together! I think you know what you're gut is telling you! Good luck!!! handshake hug
hey music.. i guess what im wondering now is whether to confront him with it - or just disappear on him. my biggest weakness is my naivety i think. i still believe that people are essentially good unless proven otherwise. looks like that might have to change. handshake
hey virgo.. funny thing is, he's not even a pretty boy!! that'll teach me for deviating from my usual type! grrrrrfrustrated frustrated frustrated frustrated
i know swiss.. i thought you know.. sheeesh.. i feel like i've been had and he's not even pretty! gah!sigh sigh sigh
g33.

I really do feel that true loveheart wings has to be shown as well as said or they are just words with no meaningthumbs up
hey baltus... - he never posts or blogs.. so we'll see.
hey houston.. thanks. i like what you said there. i will copy that quote if you dont mind. sometimes, logic ceases to exist for me.moping moping moping
ya g33kgurl..make the guy prove he loves you and can be faithful before you allow yourself to fall in love..Dont just trust every guy who tells you sweet stories. beer
coolOkay, Good Luck! wink grin
lets be honest here, if i were him i would be asking the same thing as you, why is your profile still on this siteconfused
hi ter.. not sure if you've read most of my blog and the responses i gave. but to reiterate,.. i have taken it off for a while and put it back up again since he hasnt take his off.dunno
Hi g wave you sure you haven't falling in love with typed words.
howsit ru?.. sounds like i have hey? daft!!!doh doh
oops so you did i apologize g33kgurl
So you were not living together ? or were you just having an online affair ? yes they still hurt dont they , just be more careful next time , ok


wave
hey virgo.. - no god help me. no, not living together. just online. but yeah, it still stings abit dont it?crying crying crying
np ter! all good.wave
wave gurl hey i wish you the best, take care
Hi G. If you really feel he's been playing you I'd disappear. He's not serious about you so why wait around? I know what you mean about believing people are essentially good but we have to do a reality check cause a lot aren't and we shouldn't be so naive. Besides you're a beautiful girl!! You could do so much better!!




hug
well its all part of us growing up and learning to be a part of a world wide community on line here on CS blogs , and it can be a bit bumpy along the way , wave
hey music wave thanks for your kind words. i will make the effort to disappear, yes. it is for the best.moping moping
dont let the other person win and have all the fun , and dont run off and hide when you could be here to tell us all about how you feel , A ' girl wave
heya virgo.. yes - it was fun when i was just lurking around inthe forums. going under the radar so to speak. then this thing happened - and it was no longer fun. at least there is a lesson to be had nonetheless. that is my only consolation. handshake handshake
considering what in particular?confused confused dumping him?
we do heal quicker , from an online thing and we learn to adjust and still we come back here , so take a day off , go and get drunk if that is your thing or eat some icecream

wave
Mr Wannaaa..If you read g33kgurls posts she said the guy told her he "loves her"..He shouldnt be telling her he loves her then if he doesnt..Big difference between telling her than and "just chatting".
hmmm... thanks virgo.. more of an icecream and a session at the dojo. 2 hours in there will do. boxing
hey swiss.. yeah - i think i should have used a color other than green for my font. i think it's alot harder to read in green.
cool cool cool
laugh ya g33kgurl but your blog title is not in green and it says what if he says he "loves you"..In your blog it also says he said he loves you so why cant that waanna guy see that? lol
I am now curious though, did you ever meet the guy who said he loves you? Or was it just chatting online here?
As i wrote "all"..

So many troughs over a guy you haven't met yet. He's could be a total turn off irl. If not, then take it from there.

But I would be more worried about that fact he's saying that he loves you..nice to hear, but lets be realistic her.
