He doesn't pursue me in a eager way! Is he just nervous or dates me out of boredom?

Question - (2 December 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 3 December 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, *iso31 writes:

I met a guy online and now have been out with him twice. He has my phone number. We have briefly talked on the phone but mostly played phone tag on each others voicemails. He keeps emailing me to ask me out not only that but each time he takes a few days to do so. To me this indicates lack of real interest.

I find it annoying that he's not calling me to ask me out. I like him an average amount. But really I think the time in between our two dates and his aloofness is keeping me from rising interest because he seems like a nice enough guy.

I'm leaning towards just letting it go. I just want someone who pursues me in a normal, eager, warm way. Plus, on our last date I had to initiate a hug goodbye. A hug. Is it possible he's just really nervous or is he just kind of marginally interest and keep wanting to hang out out of boredom.

please please don't sell yourself short. If he's interested he would pick up the phone and call you. Trust your own instincts, they will guide you right. He sounds like my ex as i used to initiate hugs and any kind of affection from him and it didn't change any over the 15 yrs i was married. I'm with a wonderful guy now and i didn't have to push myself to gain his affection. Keep yourself free for the man of your dreams and he WILL come along for YOU. I hope this helps you

it may be that he is not interested but give it time see what he is thinking.only time will tell you where he stands-don't call him;if he wants you he will call

give him a week see if he will contact you if he doesn't move on
