Started seeing someone (have been internet dating last few months), we get on well and physically things have been great. Last weekend, he says, "I want this to last for sometime to come". Met him earlier this week, he says, "I don't want you to go out with anyone else and I won't either". Know I was a bit taken aback but I responded positively as I do like him. There was no mistaking the tenderness in his eyes and the meaning in his voice. Then proceeded to feel great as there was the promise of something rather lovely starting. Our contact pattern is that he texts every morning and says Hi and then calls me morning and afternoon/evening. He tried to call me next day as usual and I was in a meeting. Told him I would call him back as soon as possible. Tried to call him back when meeting was finished and he didn't answer - not unusual as he was working too. I text him to say that I was free for chatting as soon as he was and later that evening, text him again to see if he was OK as I hadn't heard from him. I've heard nothing since Wednesday. Apart from a strong physical attraction and the startings of something, there is no gushy love feelings but I am still confused and upset. There's no fool like an old fool is there? Just raising all my insecurities again that men are not to be trusted! (It took me 9 years to even contemplate dating again so I have built my confidence up by dating only to feel it sliding away again over this.)
