Hello aunts .... I've posted on here before and the advice helped me greatly .. so here I am again with a situation I could use some help with ....

Having been out of a serious relationship since last summer I decided recently to try online dating .... it wasn't for me so I came off the site but had started 'chatting' to a few guys before I did so .... one man imparticular stood out for me (attraction wise) and we have been talking on the phone everyday for three weeks and had built up quite an emotional connection, he told me he was smitten ... then we met !!

We were both so nervous, me particularly, the physical chemistry was also there but I think I may have blown it .... since the date two days ago he hasn't phoned although he told me he wanted to see me again .... I realise we'd both had high expectations since we communicated so easily on the phone .... so ... Do I put this down to experience? Or call up the guy and suggest to see him again ? ... I'm not a serial dater but he remains online so one isn't sure whether he is or isn't !! ... He's 56 and I'm 48 ... we aren't kids so should I put my mind to rest and speak to him? thank you in anticipation ...

You could phone him up to find out, but I dont think he is anywhere near as enthusiastic as you are. Him being online does not look good, whether he wants to meet you again or not.

it sounds like you was both living out a fantasy over the phone. sorry to say it but it does sound like you didnt fit into his fantasy as much as he did yours.

bronzed adonis agony auntIf a guy is interested enough he will act fast. He will not waste time because he will not risk anyone else getting there before him. He is still online. No one can speak for anyone personally. However, to me , it seems like he`s not very interested (especially if he`s online). Nowhere near as interested as you are anyhow. You could give it a try, but dont build up too much up on it.

Although you communicated so easily on the phone - it isn't much of a compensation for a face to face interaction although it is good in determining whether you'd like to meet this person for real.

It might be best to give him a call and see whats going on - maybe something has come up but in general men will persue if its something they're interested in.

So sorry if that seems harsh - if he's not the right one - the right one is out there walking round someone right now :) x
