writes: Did the internet dating site. Met a nice guy and went out to lunch. After a lunch of about 2 hours, we walked around for 2 hours just talking. I emailed him the next day, then he emailed me back. I emailed once more - that was a week ago. No word from him. We got along so well, had similar backgrounds, liked a lot of the same stuff. What went wrong? I can only surmise he is enjoying his new hobby - internet dating. Do I wait a month or two and then call to see if he is still interested? I am still in shock I haven't heard from him...

If he did not iniate further contact after the in person meeting, let it go. Just accept that for whatever reason (and it doesn't matter) you are not his "type" no big deal. There are other men in the world, don't obsess over this one.

You have taken the initiative both times since you met each other by emailing him first. Slow down and let HIM make the next move. He may really like you but feels it's all going a bit too fast. He may feel a bit overwhelmed by it all, he may have decided you're not for him. You just have to be patient though.
Don't email him again for at least 2 weeks until he sorts his head out. If you don't hear from him up till then, drop him a quick email to say you guess things didn't go as well for him as they did for you and you hope he'll meet the right person next time.
