Amazing Online

[HopelssRomantic]

I met this guy online.

Ive never done that before.

He is awesome, pretty much what Im looking for in a man.

Smart, good work ethic, attractive.

We went on a date on saturday night.

Now Im kinda waiting for him to call.

I was wondering, how long should I wait before I give up?

(keep in mind we did kiss)

Do you think it would be ok if I wait a couple days and drop him an email? Maybe saying something like:

"I had fun last weekend, let me know if you want to do it again" (not verbatim)

So I could get at least an "Im not interested."

Keep in mind it's only been two days since you've met him.

You might wait on him to contact you this early on, simply to get a feel for what type of guy he is.

If it's a week before he reaches you, he may be a busy or hesitant guy. I will usually call a woman within a couple of days of our first outing, even if it's just to check up with her and let her know I had a great time.

If a few days go by, and you can live with the idea that this might be a guy who needs encouragement to go for what he wants, then your e-mail is probably a good idea.

Give him a chance. I'd say don't even worry about it until it's been four days.

Hm....

do you guys think that I should call him or email him?

[bluesummer]

Emails are so impersonal. I would call him, and just make it short and casual.

First: Its only two days
Second: Online chats are illusions, you don't talk to the person eye to eye, you can relax and make secret plans, tell whatever..
Third: Online relationships don't last long, why? Because do you really feel anything wet and slurpy when I write (K) here, for example? Once again, an illusion.

But the fact that you went on a date with him, is improvement indeed, still, I wouldn't bet on it. First impressions are always interesting, wait for longer and the interest may be lost. You know, it is always cool to meet new people. New things are always awesome at the beginning. Thats also why i don't have very much respect in girls who kiss on first dates and have had way too many partners, mostly it tells me they are naive and sometimes unethical.

But I can see you are probably very young, so forgiveness is a bliss. Be careful though.

Boobaa, I met my bf online and have been with him 6 months. Actually, I'm pretty sure this is the guy I'm going to marry. Since meeting him, I'm a very big advocate of online dating. So don't knock it just yet.....maybe she has met a good one!

[boobaa]

6 months?
Oh, I have heard that story from quite some girls.. Tell that after 2 years, then I believe you.

Ph.D In psychology

Teacher at a great University

Extremely attractive.

Give him a bit more time, then call him if you haven't heard for him after a few more days. Keep the conversation casual, you might want to talk about something you discussed on a date. Keep in mind though that he might not be interested, so watch out for any "hesitation"
