Question - (22 February 2009) 4 Answers - (Newest, 25 February 2009)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I've been talking to a guy online since November, we would go 2 weeks without talking and then talk... I started it. We haven't met in person. Lately he's been onlilne more so we talk. They say if a guy isn't interested he'll just not talk to you, however, he does initiate convos on aim sometimes. We have a good balance of who initiates convos. I was upset with him because he wasn't asking me qquestions but I was asking him more questions and he changed and we now have a good balance when we talk. However, he does mention a girl he has a crush on but she's kinda not really showing him that she likes him back.

So, I wanted to know what you guys think. Is he keeping his options open by talking to me, I mean he can simply just not talk to me, or block me if he finds me annoying, but he actually talks to me, what does this mean? He has many girl friends, (i.e his wall is covered with girls messaging him) hes good looking. So why is he talking to me when he has sooo many beautiful girls talking to him, he has a crush on someone else, and yet hes talking to me...WHY? is it boredom, is it just making another friend (he has plenty) is it that hes keeping his options open, is he getting to know me, does he just like my advice? what is it?

You must have 2 hours in a week to go out of the house!! What about weekends?

There are clubs and groups and gyms and projects to volunteer on.

Don't just sit there moping that your life is over, get out side and meet people.

Good Luck!! xx

lotus mama808 agony auntIt's the internet, and most guys I know have a plethera of lady friends. You can never have too many. It's the subjects in which you two talk about that mae all the difference. It is hard to tell if someone is flirting with you by reading what they write. You can't read their body language, nor hear how they are speaking to you. Obviously, he has made it clear, he wants to be your friend. Like I said, you can never have too many. If you wanted to meet someone that you could possibly form a relationship with, I always think its best to do it the old fashion way. Get out of the house. Good luck hon.

Sounds like he likes making friends and chatting to people.

I like chatting to people too. It doesn't mean I am in love with them. It just means I have a bit of a boring life at times due to geographical location so talk to my friends online.

If you are hoping this will turn into a boyfriend / girlfriend relationship then I think you may be a little bit disappointed and should maybe just leave him alone.

Good Luck!! xx
