PrettyPrescious: I've been cyberdating someone for over a year that I met online. He has told me that he deals with anger by not speaking. Well........he must be upset about something! He has been evasive lately.....then, today he met me online and said he wanted to talk with me. After greeting each other, he proceeded to........remain silent! I stayed with him for quite awhile, in hopes that he would finally say something, but he never did. I saw indications that he was reading my messages...b/c the little pic of him would pop up right after each of them. How would you deal with this? I love to get peoples' ideas!
1. Adios
2. Au Revoir
3. Auf Wiedersehen

He is obviously jealous which isn't a good sign especially when you haven't meet, its not easy living with someone which stay silent during a heated argument, my x was like that, actually we ended because of continues argument always on the same topic, it can get anger & frustrated with in your self sometimes. In life every experience you go though is a learning lesson. Did you ever tell him how you feel about this? did he have any response? if not you will have to ask a simple question deep with inside you, would I like to live like this? if its no, you need to move on, if yes you can continue

There's nothing you can do unfortunately.
He prefers space when he is dealing with things.
Intentionally giving the "silent treatment" on a consistent basis without communicating his reasons....
....I would move on.
I wouldn't waste any more of my time trying to rescue him from his cave.
All the best, in whatever you decide to do...

Its a good thing he showed his real colours on line before you started a physical relation. I don't do or put up with the silent treatment its totally rude. Red flag for sure.

Do the same thing, let him stress about why YOU aren't responding .. Instead of eating yourself up over it. If you still dont hear from him, just accept it was never meant to be

Nothing said about which part of the planet this person is. Is it a place where internet connections are spotty, or does he just have a cheap cellphone? Seems like you are really into this guy, given all the effort you have put into the relationship.
Well, ya don't know what you don't know: he could be married or hiding something, but maybe he is a diamond in the rough. Only you can tell. Play it safe and follow your heart
. Good luck!

It never happened again; he says he was trying to send messages back to me that night, and it was not working right. We are still speaking nearly every day, usually with skype. Thank you for your comments

PrettyPrescious: Thank you for all of your kind replies and support. Now he has left me a message, saying that he tried to reply to me but nothing would go through! He is using a smart phone and I'm using a laptop. I've never used a smartphone so I don't know if he is telling me the truth. I would like to hear from smartphone users--is he possibly telling me the truth? I've never used a smartphone, and we chat on Facebook chat.
Yeah it is possible for one or two times. Sometimes one technology or one cell phone carrier doesn't like talking to the other ones. I see that a lot on old Cingular (now ATT) phones trying to talk to Sprint phones. Also Straight Talk phones sometimes don't mesh well with VOIP and a PC. Still nothing prevents writing a long text message and sending it as a pic so it gets through or a string of short SMS stuff. He coulda and shoulda. Often when a phone doesn't mesh, if you hang up and call back a few minutes later the connection works fine, so he coulda done that too.
