I apologise for the preamble but hate drip feeding...
I have been trying online dating... (oh joy...) and met quite a few men...but out of all of them have found one to be quite pleasant. We have met twice in a month. Both times have been great; we both talked and talked and really got on well. I find him very attractive and I think he feels the same way about me...
Now he works shifts (works for Immigration) and lives in the Sunshine Coast (I am in Brisbane but he works in Brisbane). When he is off, he goes up the coast to stay with his father where he is building a boat...
He is not a great communicator but does text from time to time. I asked him if he would give up one of his free days to spend some time for us to get to know each other under more relaxed conditions (previously met after his work which he finds stressful) and he agreed and thought it was a great idea. Now, he hasn't made this date yet...cos of his work plus he went to Melbourne (just got back two days ago).
I hadn't heard anything from him so I sent him a text basically asking him if he was still interested in meeting me or had he met someone else? If he had, well, such is life and I would survive the disappointment but being a straightforward woman, would appreciate a nod either way. Well, he replied straightaway saying that yes he still wanted to meet up with me. But he was still not in Bris and would contact me when he got back...
Yesterday, I just sent him a text regarding the amazing news re: our new Prime Minister and he replied then said he would ring me the next day as it was late and he was going to bed.
He has not rung me at all nor texted today.
I do not understand this at all. I have been out of the dating game a long time, true...but surely this is not on? Why say he is still interested in me but act like he isn't?
Why such twattish behaviour? This is driving me crazy and I really don't need this right now as going through some other batshit stuff.
Should I just give this man the flick? The annoying thing is ...he is the most promising man in terms of looks, intelligence, etc of the lot (and I have met a lot...) and a small part of me doesn't want to flick him orf because I feel like I won't meet anyone half way normal again...which is a stupid reason I know .
Please MN, help me...
