Got talking in a chat room a couple of years ago, and progressed to talking on msn, where he became a very good friend. Advised me on problems in life, helped me with how to help my son with maths, cooking recipes, everything.
I've been hurt and let down by men before and explained this when the subject of meeting up came up. I let him know my fears and he said he'd be sensitive to all I've been through. After deliberating about meeting, we did on Friday and had a meal and drink and a wander through London. Pleasant enough meet. Kissed me goodbye on a London station and we went our ways.
I've had no contact since. He's on msn and hasn't answered me and not responded to a text I sent just asking when he was next on msn, nothing else. I dont wish to appear needy or clingy, but I've lost a friend here, haven't I. A very intelligent professional man who I considered a good friend. He doesn't want to know, does he? Please someone out there tell me it's his loss, not mine - as he doesnt seem to have the manners to tell me he didn't like me. Is it normal for people to vanish off the face of the earth after a date, or does anyone think he will speak to me if I don't push it any further. Do any of you think you'll never meet anyone who gets past date one? Is it just not worth the bother?
