Not sure about meeting this guy

Met him online ( not dating site, fb, via mutual friend. Got chatting, etc.). He's a professional, been working away for the last few weeks and we've been chatting loads. We've made plans to meet in London next week, go to a show, stay overnight (separate rooms!)

He sounds lovely, intelligent and friendly. My issue is this: he NEVER asks me anything about myself. Sometimes we exchange ten messages a day and sometimes it's none. But they are all inevitably about me asking him about his day, background, etc. - you know, the stuff about sisters and brothers everyone discusses in the beginning. I was so excited to finally meet him but this what seems like utter self-absorption is really getting to me. I have visions of sitting next to him struggling to think of the next question to ask!

Thoughts, wise MN-etters??

Just looking out for you Smile

Sorry to join the cynics but does you're 'dating' means you met once, shagged and don't know when you're seeing him again? Hmmm.

LoTeQuiero · 29/01/2016 10:30

No. It means we've had one date and have arranged further ones Hmm And discussed it.

To go back to your original post, my advice would be to back off from txting him questions about his life , background , family etc. not really necessary at the casual stage .
Hope it goes the way you want it to .

This is such a hateful thread!

spudlike1 · 01/02/2016 18:48

What advice would you give ?

MarieJeanne · 01/02/2016 18:59

Well, l'm glad you had a good time and I'm a bit Confused at the negativity here. Enjoy yourself OP, you sound like you know what you're doing.

Have fun OP. He might be a player, he might be the love of your life. Fingers crossed he's not both.
