Hi all - this is my predicament at the moment.

For about 1 month I have been in contact via email with another guy from another site. The first 2 weeks went smoothly - every email declaring his love for me and giving me a list of everything he would like to do with me. At the time I responded, he had a faceless profile and not much to go on if anything but I did tell him I would only correspond with him if he was honest with me and I asked him for a photo. No problems there, I got the photo and his profile.

The 1st day of the 3rd week he never emailed me so I sent him an email to find out what was going on. It turned out he had been ill and on medication but was now fine. Emails continued for another 3 days then he stopped for 4 days. I again emailed him 4 emails and told him that I was going to continue searching as he was obviously keeping things from me (ie his being ill and who knows what else). The evening of the 4th day I received an email from him stating he had been in hospital with a sever fever so I thought nothing of it because of the previous incident.

I emailed him back and from then I never received any response from him whatsoever....that is until this afternoon wanting to know what was going on. There was no explanation why he hadn't responded to my previous email. This is now day 5 from when I last emailed him. He still says he loves me but my question is this :Is this how a guy inlove acts?

In this latest mail he says he would prefer it if I deleted my profile on the sites and continue life with him. He continues to say that he wants me and only me and he will never let me go, that I must feel free to call him anytime (with a phone number he never gave me?)

Is this guy a nut case - but a convincing one?
There are still questions I have asked him that have never been answered to this day,
He says he is being honest with me but is he?
I honestly don't know how to approach him anymore, can someone please give some advice?

Don't mean to sound mean but i can't see how anyone can fall in love after a couple with someone they have never met confused

Also sounds like he has other interests possible a wife?

I wouldn't contact him again and would move on wine

Surely after only a fortnight, the most he could be is in love with the idea of you?

I think you need to take control of your life and get yourself out into the world with real people. You haven't even met this person and he's talking about love. You are responding with insecurity. This is not the real world.hug

Says he been divorced 5 years but I see where you're coming from.

I've had enough of his hogwash anyway and told him I'm not bringing my life to a standstill for anyone. I have now permanently blocked his email.

Thanks for your input all.

That guy sure sounds fishy to me. I'm no expert on dating online, other than signing up here yesterday i've only just recently signed up for one other site a couple months ago. And on that one it was all scammers. At least for the guys that responded to the womens ads. There were actually thousands of different womens ads and almost every one of them were from some guy in nigeria working out of an internet cafe using pictures of women who were no longer checking their messages.

On there it was alot different though. Now, speaking from my own personal experiences. I stuck around on there for a couple of weeks.. maybe even longer than a month. Then i just gradually stopped checking any messages altogether cause i was fed up with the site. I am not the kind of guy who would come out and say i was in love with anyone when i didn't know them. The women there would though on the very first message. Then on the second message most of them would be asking for money for one thing or another. The ones i did keep on messaging back and forth for longer than a week or so i was very skeptical of. And then of course i finally got fed up with all the phoneys there.

I can see how some guy might slowly stop coming to check his messages just from that experience. Because that's what i did. I'd only check once or twice a week.. then only once every other week.. and now i never even bother with it. But, If you ask me the guy was probably just stringing you along. Probably had a few other women he was telling that he loved them too. Then he just got bored with it and quit checking in as often.

But, when someone says they want you to delete your profile and just talk strictly with them then that sounds fishy to me too. That is what all those fake womens ads at the other site were all asking too. Within the very first couple of messages. I guess it's harder for a victim to notice they're being scammed if they can get you one on one and you don't see there are others doing the exact same thing. So, i'm just saying it dosen't add up. If i were you I'd just keep on looking.

And from looking at your profile i can see that you shouldn't have any problem meeting alot of good men.

Hi Dave

Thank you for your input. I did have my suspicions but to prove it was another story. Incidently this guy said he was from Arizona and had property in WV (don't know where exactly) and one in Coos Bay.hug

Forget it. Personally it would alarm me if someone declared their love for me in just 2 weeks, and that would be with actually meeting them !!!!

It smacks of either sad desperation or a scam or a nutter .......dunno

He is not consistent.
There is always an excuse.
Declares love in two weeks is not a true thing.
It sounds fishy to me.
Your profile name is cautious so let it be, better let things go before it can hurt you.
Good luck with your search.
