writes:I live in a small town where dating is a bit of a challenge. The population of decent single men is pretty limited. So I decided to take a risk and try a popular online dating website. I began emailing a guy who is pretty great. We then exchanged phone numbers and began texting back and forth. Our text conversations occurred about once per week. He has a pretty busy schedule as do I, so it was actually pretty convenient. We also live on opposite ends of the country so meeting each other in person wasn't a practical option at first. So about two months after graduating to only texting, I let him know that my work was going to be sending me to his city for a training. He sounded excited and sent me a great list of things to do while visiting. About a two weeks before my trip, I sent him a text asking him if he'd like to meet up. No response. So I sent a second text about 4 days later that was pretty much the same, but short and to the point. Again no response. As of right now I am actually on my trip and only have about 4 days left before I fly back across the country to my home.So here is my question, should I just accept the fact that he isn't interested or should I pick up the phone and call him rather than texting? He just seemed to be such a great person and I'm afraid that if I don't try once more that I could be missing out. Hmmm...what should I do?

 Have you not talked to him on the phone at all? So texting and emailing is the only contact you've had..I'd say if he didn't take the chance to meet you when you were in his neck of the woods then he isn't who he says he is. Or he could have been nervous but still he could have responded to your texts and you could have met him in a well lit public area. Call him and see if he'll answer..but don't get your hopes up. If he doesn't answer then like I said he's not who he says he is..then be glad you've avoided an untrustworthy creep.

It sounds like he is not interested and he could be seeing someone else. I would forget about him. My guess is that he has a girlfriend and is on the internet when she is not home. I had a similar thing happen to me. I would talk to this guy online and everynight around 11:00 he would all of a sudden be signed off. I figured girlfriend and let him go.
