aramaya: sometimes we esp women have a tendency to over think everything,,you arent marrying him this is only a date to see how you both feel in person with each other,,he may have a ring on his finger when you meet him ..ask him about it,,or he may be married and come clean but wanted to try his luck,,or he is completely wonderful and single and you have nothing to loose.be sensible about it ,be friends meeting and go from there..
I hope he isnt reading this and is genuine because if this was me i woundnt meet you now..would just seem to much hassle..




Yes now I'm even starting to think on the same lines as you are,

But what if she is completely smitten by his charm and good looks if she meets him then all her logical might go right out the window,

And she finds herself a mistress and its the one thing she said she never be,

Then poor lanna finds out he has a whole string of them up and down the length of the country,

No wonder he tired.

Or he just the type to keep it cool before he meets her,

And likes to do things in his time when he is ready.

Maybe lean a will laugh all this what if out of her mind and just meet him for tea,

confused

Harryonline:

And going back to the topic...he should strike while the iron is hot ?

You know he may text...but not get a reply, and then he is stuck in limbo!

You know if things are overly nit picked this much, that is something (like a bullet in the head) I am not looking for and may well stop text communication altogether.

There is just too much paranoia going on. It would lessen if it was like the good out days where you just pick up the phone and called. Whats all this texting about ? Just use it to send an venue and the time for the date, once its been fixed. In my opinion, its better to talk without a keyboard.

Texting is not for me either and yes, a phone call is better than that and meeting is even better.

Our limits for trust are affected by many factors.

However, I would look at the red flags and then decide whether I would like to communicate-meet with him or not.

Harryonline: Are they boxing gloves ?


Believe or not, I have not boxing gloves laugh yet.

This "hassle" is of its own making and has come out of thin air. I do fear that this could hamper progress time and again.

I think cutting out the detective work/guess work would help a lot, and just meet in a public place and air your concerns, if appropriate then or at a later date.

oh dear I'm confused now and it not even me in contact with him.

Should I stick with my first instincts on what I told lanna,

To be honest I think I'd meet him anyway after all this discussion,
I'd let it take place in a public place,

No funny business ,,tea ,chat,bye bye,make your mind up time,

Face to face.

Now sorted.

Peachy,

You know in job interviews, some people are good at that part but not at their work! So you should allow for the other party to "grow on you" until both of you are all over each other like a rash laugh

ps don't forget your mobile if you meet him,

But don't be looking at it or texting when you meet him.

That's if you do,talk to him like you would a friend ,

Meeting wont work you will love his look she will win you over with his charm and good looks but still doesnt alter that he probably is married or commonlaw and is cheating

In response to: Finally, after few months spent here, and keeping all conversations only through CS e-mails, I've never text to someone, or even exchanged personal e-mail. I've decided that is time to change something and to go step forward - to upgrade conversation to text messages (cell phone) or skype.
And thinking about that, this guy showed up: He is real, polite, nice, good looking, taller than me - in one word he has all what I was looking for.
So we start texting each other. At the beginning I havent pay attention that his text messages are mostly written during his working hours, after few days I have noticed that - I barely get any messages after 5PM I've asked him. Explanation was: "I have to go in bad early and stand up early because of business that he runs in Europe".....I take that.
Then, we decided to meet, he lives not that far away from me. We should meet tomorrow - on Monday. I thought he picked Monday because he is busy with work during the weekend, but yesterday he was off whole day, and he is off today too. Why someone will meet during the week day if you have weekend off? - The only reason that crossed my mind is: he is married.
So, yesterday I sent him some message around non, and got respond on that message on late evening, I was super disappointed.
During the working hours i understand that you cannot text all day long, but during the time when you are off?? - he could tell me: I am busy talk to you later" - if you care about person you would say that right? You wouldnt let her wit on you for 7 hours (and thankful to iPhone you can tell if the message has been read or not - it has a small marks below saying: "delivered" and than latter on "read"). Also he said he is in car driving, when I said that I would like to call him, he said: I have to go to sleep. After saying that - I was like........Really??? he turned me down!
should I even meet him tomorrow when he comes in Vegas?

It would be better for me if I sicked with a CS e-mails.....or it is me panicking, or all this is reality but I cannot take it yet since it is very first experience and cannot believe that I am this naive

1: Yes by all means you can meet him. You cannot go roung the world afraid of everythinh.

2: Make SURE you meet him in a public place where there ar people about.

3: If ffered a lift back home just decline it politely with some excuse.

4: Relax but do not allow him "in your knickers". Least thing is to show you "are easy". Believe me (and this is coming from a guy), any woman I slept with on the first date did not last more then two months.

5: Discuss with him. Tell him your concerns. i.e. about not answering your calls and weekend no contact etc (you can make excuses like..... how will you have known who he is when he walks in the bar........ and things like that).

6: Look him in the eyes. If he looks sideways or his eyes shift when talking to you he is lying. The eyes are the path to a heart.

7: Take a mobile with you. Arrange for a friend to text you say within one hour of starting the date. IF you feel unconfortable just say something like "My mum just sent me a message. Somebody has broken into her home. I have to go". Again, do not accept any lifts but get a taxi.

8: Relax and have fun.

Lannna23: I did that - I asked him yesterday evening to call me, to have a conversation over the phone instead of texting - he denied me


Lanna, I think he is involved. Me, I would not go on a date. Maybe not married, but there's something fishy going on. If you decide to go on the date, get his name and find out the truth. Everything is public record and then you know.

There was a guy here in LA who said he's only off on Thursdays laugh I said: Good for you. ... and that was the end of that story laugh Just saying...

I have date him!
I have admit him all my concerns and it came that he is too busy with a work to respond, and I do believe. he is a real gentlemen, full of patience, understanding and care.
I am going to give him a chance; he deserve it.
He is worth it.
Hope we will make it together .....like this guy
