Hello
I've been emailing a really nice, interesting bloke from a dating site, for a few weeks. Trouble is, he writes incredibly long emails - funny, and nice, and he can spell (!) but I have found myself leaving it longer and longer and longer between replies, simply because I feel like I have homework to do -it's nice writing to him but feels like an essay is required.
I can';t keep up especially not with two small kids - he hasnt any. I'm exhausted, don't even want to speak to my friends if they ring - it's not fair on him and he keeps offering me a way out by saying he understands if I'm not interested.
The thing is I am, but can't manage to keep up with it.
I feel terrible and not sure what to do. I've been honest and told him I just struggle to find the time and thereofre maybe a relationship would be wrong for me atm.
but would like to keep in touch.
I'm afraid of hurting his feelings and also of just never having the energy for a bloke...anyone found a way round this/ Or is it my subconscious telling me he isn't the right one iyswim?
