Hiya, i put this in chat but thought it may be better in this section.

Well he contacted me thru a dating siteand we have been chatting for 3 days, texting, now he's backed off, doesnt know what he's looking for bla bla.

He 'seemed' lovely, very intelligent, courteous, full of compliments.

I just had a 'feeling' that he was all round normal and good fun.

I know online dating is almost in another realm, yet HE was the one who suggested we meet up soon.

He even texted me last night to ask if I really honestly fancied him, does he have low self esteem?

We have spent 3 days saying we cant believe we like eacj other so much. I was wary, but trusted him, becuase sometimes you just have to take a chance.

I dunno, i have the saddest feeling now, and yesterday i was feeling so up and bright. I don't 'need' a man to make me feel ok, but after my break up a couple of yrs ago, I havent felt attractive or liked for such a long time.

I am so cross with myslef for being a fool, but thought i had to give him a chance.

He said its knocked him, too much too soon, feeling that we have so much in common so quick, yet is that not a good thing.

someone explain. iam sure i would understand it if i were giving somone else advice, but i can't see thru it atm. The last thing i need is to feel this way. pretty down.

Bonkerz, that's a lovely story. My friend is trying net dating sites at the moment and keeps meeting men from Newport, all of whom have jealous daughter issues - is this a Newport thing? We've suggested she try a different area!

Daddyj, dancing seems a great way to meet - dp and I originally met doing historical dance - I was in a farthingale and he played a dancing master - the ironic thing is, he isn't very good at historical dance - he's actually an actor, but he looked good in a ruff .

If I'd had a computer in those days, I would have tried internet dating - Dateline was all on paper then - but I met some hilarious characters - it's scary how much you can have in common on paper, but then you meet the guy and think Aargh !!!

I am no good at this Salsa malarkey either
but (apparently) I shake my bum nicely.
MrTanee and I clearly know what matters

pirategirl, hope you are having fun again

Tanee58 · 21/06/2007 14:16

yep, shaking yer bum does the trick every time (very hard to do that in a farthingale!)

pirategirl, have you pursued the 'hiya sexy' email ?
