Question - (6 October 2013) 2 Answers - (Newest, 6 October 2013)
A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am a gay female, in needs of friends, of course id like to eet somene but new friends are important

I've met someone recently from an online dating/friendship site, we have been messageing online for a few weeks, they are just looking for friends, and to meet new ppl,and see what happens, mainly friendship. Friends are good, I need friends as well as to meet someone, and am happy with possible friendship with people.

We met 2 days ago for coffee,after initial nerves, on my part.. (and one small error on my part which wasnt mentioned and I reoevered quickly.. )

We seemed to get along, had things in common, laughed a little, only one breif slightly awkward silence. Maybe a possiblilty of f/ship.

At least seeing if their may be one.

She is a very, very busy person, much busier than me, and she's also meeting others too online, which I have done in the past,unsuccessfully.

Am hoping too now also, have chatted olnine to a few women, nothing in common though, (its hard but I'll keep trying.)

Im queiter, but friendly and interested in ppl, am a little socially anxious, due to my past, so its a little harder at times, to meet people.

When it's time to go, after about 95mins of talking we both walk away from the coffee place and then I say.

"Nice to meet you"

she says "you too, talk to you very soon"

then we both leave.

Neither of us has been in contact since, its only been two days! and I dont want to look weird or creepy..or desperate for friends!! (which I am NOT!)

Do you think she wants to keep in contact? or is what she said just a friendly way of saying"goodbye" with no intention of more contact?

when is a good time to text this person, and say a casual hi, how things? how long?

Have no idea if she will even want to text, or text me..as she is busy with life etc, who knows?

Both our profiles are active, and we have both been on the online site since.

Again casual hi, is what I mean NOT a date..

advice appreciated

Thanks for advice.

If she really said "talk to you very soon", that's a great sign. I've always heard that phrase in a positive way. It means she wants to talk. Especially when she's so busy.

And you're assuming she's not as socially awkward as you. I'm a very gregarious person and seem extroverted and confident with people. I'm not.

Definitely send her a text as she may be hoping that you liked her but is worried about it. Or is waiting for you because she is so busy.

By sending her a text what do you have to lose? By not sending it, you won't know the wonderful things that could happen.

Good luck
