So, contacted by a man via OD.
Start exchanging emails, then progress to texts.
He then phone me (after asking if he could, I am not a phone person usually) and we spent hours talking, literally until the sun comes up.
He tells me he is not in contact with anyone else on the site, and is a 'one woman at a time' kind of guy.
We have 2 dates, both of which go very well. He is very complimentary about my appearance and personality. He says I put him at his ease, and make him feel comfortable, and he likes being around me.
After the second date, contact drops off a lot, he is still in touch but much less than previously. Of course, this is no big issue, he is still in touch, I have stuff to do and am not waiting for his texts etc :)
However I thought I'd go onto the site (actually to hide my profile as I kept getting notifications of new emails) and of course he was on there. I text him shortly after asking how his day was going, and he said he was hugely busy with work...
Which may have been true, but he clearly wasn't working when he was logged into the site. And why log in when he'd told me he wasn't contacting anyone else?! (I don't care if he is, but why tell me its one woman at a time when its clearly not - its the not being honest that grates with me) He may well have decided post date 2 that he doesn't want to see me again - in which case he only has to let me know with some flimsy excuse. But he hasn't, and text conversations have continued.
It just is all so typical, the not being honest, the dropping off of contact...I don't think I'm asking for any advice exactly cos its fairly clear what's going on, this is just a bit of a moan! I am so cynical about all men who OD, I try not to be but then stuff like this reminds me exactly why I am!
And it's a shame because I do like him, and would like to see him again. Although I doubt that will happen...!
