Okay, I suspect I already know the answer to my query here, but a little objective insight definitely couldn't hurt.

I've been single for the last five months or so, and I've been trying to ease myself back into this whole dating thing. Anyhow, I met a guy in the area from another site, and we started talking. Things were going really well...we kissed one night after about a 4 hour drive, which was incredible....lots of sparks. Anyhow, I heard from him a couple of days later, helped him move, and more sparks....a lot more. A week went by without hearing from him. Heard from him again 3 days ago, full of apologies for life getting too crazy to call or return a call. We made plans to meet for coffee yesterday. No dice. No call, and I haven't heard from him yet. I get that his life is pretty crazy right now....he works a lot and takes care of his mom....but It's kinda setting my warning bells off that he hasn't even tried so much as a "hey, how's it going?"

I know it's all still pretty undefined and such, but going by what he's told me, and what things felt like...he seemed pretty into me, and I was definitely interested....so how long to I keep an ear out for the phone before I shurg my shoulders and move one, folks?

I'd move on if I were you. I know for myself if I'm really into a woman, I'll be in touch with her when I say I will no matter what! A simple phone call only take's a minute!

No problem. Like I said, I know when I'm into a girl I won't let nothing stop me from atleast calling her when I say I'm going to! Cancelling plan's is something that happen's from time to time, but if you have to cancel you can atleast call!

Exactly... the guy's been far sketchier than most when it comes to contacting me since the second kiss....not sure if he was scared off, or just not that into me and too chicken to say it....either way...tis better to move on....

Looking at the fact that I was also one whom took care of her mom, my motto is "trust him until he gives you a reason not to"

in that, trust him that life IS a little crazy.....us, as women, we want to spend time with someone when we know it feels right and from what you are saying, it DID........

I am guilty of being just like him at one time in my life......and yea, sometimes life DOES get a little crazy..there is no reason why he could not take 30 seconds out of his day to at least call you .......but you see, I see that in HINDSIGHT.......didn't think of that when I was taking care of my mom.......

Just follow your gut instincts and go with the flow......you will make the right decision .......eventually.......

good luck to you!!!!wave

Just an update on the situation: the guy called and picked me up for a quick coffee tonight. He did explain what the problem was; he's been run off his feet between work and personal stuff and just hasn't had time to do anything at all. We agreed to keep friendly and hang out when he has the time to breathe, but until things settle down for him, that's all he can really do, and I'm more than okay with that. At least this way I'm not wondering if the cell's going to ring or not and i still get a friend out of it....Thanks all!

Well just go with your gut and take it slow. It will work out for you in the end, one way or the other. Good luck.

I am not sure why guys do that, but I think it is a control thing on their part, and nothing to do with you personally. It really sucks as they are really impolite. They keep you waiting after you sent them a email response to their letter, they even may suggest you isit another dating site they think is more popular then this one. You see that they have been on line on that dating site every day but it has been several days since you sent them they email response. It just tells you something about their character. If one can not stand it now, how can they stand it later with them?????And I do not think an apology would work from them in this case. I suggest you move on. There is just too much pain in the future with these type of guys.conversing crying doh
