So I'm back dating once more had 6 dates with a guy I met online they went well .
He's got a hectic job and we both have kids so meeting up can be tricky .
I'm never sure how to play things that's my problem , this guy made a deal out of deleting his profile so I did too , he replies to messages mostly sometimes he doesn't but I've noticed he's on whatsaap quite a lot and I was recently cheated on by sexting on there .
Shall I just reply if he messages me , I just don't want to be twatted about again and have no idea about this dating thing as was married ages .
Sorry if it makes no sense I've been out tonight :)

Bet you he's got other profiles on other sites and he's only deleted the one you know about. Not sure how whatsapp works - I don't use it, didn't fancy opening my entire address book to the app, which is what happens apparently! You could either run a search on other dating sites, see if he pops up - or just retreat slightly into 'watchful mode', letting him make the running, until he trips himself up. It's only been 6 dates, after all..,

Aww honey try and trust your gut instinct , seeing as how you have been messed around before it is so hard to trust again, take it easy let him do the running after you, time will tell if he is a keeper, good luck wish you all the best and hope t works out for you.

Thanks for the replies , it's only been a few dates so I'll just forget what's happened before him and see how it goes .

I'm going through same thing OP. I'm on date 4 with my guy n two of those were at weekend. Things were intense last week, texting loads etc but this week just a few here n there. He seems genuine but how do u know really? I bloody hate the whole dating game so I sympathise with you Hmm

lol I came on to leave a message about this I'm in a similar situation except we are friends in a club just started seeing each other outside we live a distance away so a lot f texting n IM photosharing apps etc - so I say yes let's meet up the two of us and... Now he's really backed off still in touch about club stuff but no outside contact and no sort of smiley glances just v business like

He's got a lot of stress at the moment and I want to help n support him but I also feel I want him to come to me a bit not have to say are you still interested in me romantically since he says he is (without me asking) but then mmmmm no contact except on club business

So do men end relationships if you are not keen enough? If I just do my own thing be happy n supportive to him but not needy n sulky n asking about the relationship will he come to me? Confused

I hope so I like him so much it's ridiculous but I think he knows that Blush

Squeeksaway, let him do the chasing sounds like he does know your nterested, he is obvously , not ready to jump into a relationship, or he was just looking for a bit of fun, keep smling hun time will tell if he is really keen and wanting to take things further, good luck , and remember there are plety of fish in the sea!

I think depends how people use whatsapp.
I usually log off it as I only ever use it to communicate with one of my friends and when we are done I close that app as such is my habit. Some people leave it on all the time.

It is really hard to judge like that.
I feel that in the past overdoing it with texting killed the interest in another person for me so now I reply only if I feel like - I used to feel obliged to reply to every single one text immediately I saw it - seeing it as the polite behaviour.
