I think you should go with your gut feeling; it sounds like he's not ready indeed. Or simply talk to him about it... Best of luck no matter what you decide.
I actually met quite a lot of men finding the emotional attachment or bonding important... they just don't spread the word around; probably for the best
Glasgow would be doable; I've always wanted to visit one of the festivals. Been to Dublin a few times, but never when there was a meeting... don't know how I could have missed one, since there seem to be a lot
Haven't been to a CS meeting, since they're mostly quite far outside my area, but I met up with some real nice people as well. Mind you, that was after I stopped dating
Maybe it's the content of your message? Do you prove you read their profile by commenting on something you read there? I think due to the many scammer mails, both men and women have become a bit selective on which mails they reply to. I only talk to people I met in the forums or blogs. Just hang in there; there are plenty of real women out there.

Define real love, what do you mean by it? Love exists in many shapes and forms and it's not that hard to find. True love exists, but doesn't necessarily last forever and that's fine. Most people find it hard to find love, because they link a long list of conditions to that love

To decide if I would be interested in getting to know the person, one coffee date is enough; if I'd be interested in romance or even building a friendship, more... can't really say how many since I like to take things slow and get to know a person. If you like the person, just go with the flow; if your intuition warns you, listen.
I simply don't get along with Flemish men, so I date outside the country. However, France, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany and UK are all within a few hours drive, so I don't really see that as long distance.
Yes, my ex when I pushed his buttons Seriously, ofcourse, men are entitled to their emotions too. It would depend on the situation whether I'd put up with it or not; I don't like cry babies
I used to be on a local one because it was easier to find a date, but I stopped dating about a year ago and now I'm just here for a nice read and a post now and then
