I was contacted by what seemed a very nice chap, not far from me. Seems he has been recently split and feeling rather down, of course. From the outset he wanted to IM and I explained that my IM on here is switched off and that mails for the time being is fine. We communicate back and forth for a bit and then he tells me that its not working for him due to the delay rather than the IM method.

We talk about conversations on the 'phone and even a possible meet. He then tells me he has to have the right people around him and be able to look someone in the eye. I respond that he wouldn't get that with either IM or the 'phone and yet he didn't allude to meeting up.

WTF??!! confused

Why did he suggest IM in the first place if its not good enough and why has he been bothering if the 'phone or meeting up isn't good enough either...?? I did ask what he expected from being on a dating site if none of those methods were to his liking. He told me he was expecting to be in contact with someone more tolerant..... that'd be someone he CAN'T or WON'T communicate with then?? I had been friendly and listened to his woes (and I don't mind for a moment) but.....
dunno

So..... no mails, no IM, no 'phone, no texting and no meeting up but he seeks contact.... have I entered a parallel universe or something...??!!
doh

Just saying be careful. Your instincts are already telling you that something isn't right.

Indeed!! But how can someone even expect to be in contact with someone if NO method whatsoever is appropriate?? And... more to the point, putting all that forward as a reason/excuse..?? One can't hope to appear lucid/coherent, surely??

There is an expression used in Lancashire......

"Everyone is a little queer except thee and me,and I´m a bit worried about thee!"

From the use of "thee" you can tell it´s pretty ancient. Not PC nowadays I suppose,with the homophobic references.....................laugh

ROS ...

Sounds to me like that's what he IS like for everything ...

All the time you're saying blue ... he says "no! ... red"

By the time you agree to red he goes "what? red? Nah!! I need yellow! Whatever made you think I wanted red? What I need is a woman who agrees with yellow!!! " NOW he is making it YOUR fault that you don't know/understand/agree with yellow!!!

It's called mind games ... and so far he has been casting his bait!!! If you bite you will be for ever confused, because he will be continuously "playing the game". A confused woman is a lot easier to controle.
