Started chatting to a super funny guy last week on Guardian Soulmates. He's had me in stitches and he felt the same way. We've spoken on the phone and he's been pretty full on saying he'd really like to meet me etc. etc. Saturday night was out with friends in town and he was texting me all night. My friend said to come and join us (grabbed my phone drunkenly!!) and he said he would normally but really likes this one (me) and wanted to meet me properly. Yesterday morning he text and said it was such a lovely day he wished he knew me properly as it was a nice day to drive over. So I said ok, come over lets meet. He said he would love to and re-arranged his plans (he was supposed to go into work). We met at a nearby pub. He gave me a big hug and a kiss, told me I was so funny. We chatted easily for an hour and a half. At one point he asked me if I had any availability next week. Near the end, he told me he had to go as he had a friend having an operation on her foot and he was going to visit her. (This was at about 2.30pm). We had a 'little' snog goodbye and he said he would be in touch. Now, he's been texting me quite a lot and I have heard NOTHING since. No text to say he had a nice time, no phone call. My intuition is pretty spot on and I feel the attraction to me wasn't there in real life. I think he prefers slim, skinny girls and I'm very curvy. Maybe I'm just self conscious (I'm loosing weight at the moment) but I cant think it would be anything else as we got on so well and he was quite full on before. But I am new at this dating business. (not long divorced). I'm a really confident person normally.

Should I just a. wait for him to contact me (the longer it's taking the more I'm loosing interest anyway). or b. send him a text and say it was fun to meet him, I feel maybe the attraction is not there for him and I'm cool with it. Or c. do you all think I'm nuts!!!

oh - and btw, I like him, but I wouldn't be devastated if he wasn't interested. But the just not contacting me is making me feel crap about myself!!!!

first1, you posted an almost identical thread in January. I think you even used the 5 dates in 17 days thing Confused
You got a lot of great advice from that thread that you were going far too quickly. And it seems you're doign it again. WHat on earth is the rush??

Celibin doesn't basic probability suggest to you that at least a few of the tens of thousands of online daters out there are socially functional human beings? (Yes I was one)
