Yeah... I just hope he doesn't back out Sunday, or completely stop talking to me before then.

I had been talking with a guy till 4 am a few night in a row and we were communication alot. The next day he asked me to take off work early and meet him. Said he was going to take a nap and I would call him when I could get away. I rushed to get done working and clean up. I tried calling him and texting him. No answer. I thought maybe he was sleeping so no big deal as we had been up all night talking. I new he had to pick his kids up at 5:30 so I tried him again and no answer. Finally the next day he responded with the I was sick or sick kid can't remember. Anyway he finally told me he got back together with his girlfriend in a email. But we could remain friends and get to know each other. I deleted him and never responded. I think that is terrible wanting to keep me on the line so when it didn't work out I would be there.

Relax. You haven't even met the guy yet. And no, texting does not count. In fact, you need to get away from texting and take it to the next level (calling, meeting up) ASAP. Texting as a form of "communication" is a dead-end street.

I've already posted a couple different topics related to this guy I've been talking to. But to those of you who haven't read them, I've been talking to a guy from eHarmony for the last week and a half. For the first week, we talked everyday, whether it was through texting or online. We usually alternated who would text first each day (I'd text first monday, he'd text first tuesday)

We talked for like 5 hours through texts/aol instant messenger on Sunday nite... And I thought it went really well. He ended up saying that he lost track of time when it got to be after midnight, cause he had to wake up in less than 6 hours.

Monday rolls around, and I don't hear from him, nor does he go online. I anticipate a text Tuesday but it gets to be like 9 at night and still no word from him. I talk to my friend about it, saying that I don't want to come off as clingy/needy/annoying, so I won't text him anymore. My friend said, I dont think one text in 2 days is annoying. So I decided to text him, saying, "hey how's it going".

He didn't respond all nite, or sign online. I was trying to not take it personally, but it's sort of hard. When I woke up this morning, I got a text that he sent at 7 am saying, "hey I'm alright, just been sick. how are you?"

I responded back and I haven't heard back yet. I just don't know how to tell if he was telling the truth or if he was lying so he could avoid me more easily. I guess there's no way of knowing through a text message? Or is there?

We have plans to hangout Sunday; I just hope he doesn't bail.

Any input?
Hey Andrea, old thread come back to life, how did it work out?

This may be an old thread but it makes me think of something that happened to me...

I had a couple dates with someone that went well, we had been talking on the phone and texting and e-mailing like crazy. After the second date, I got really sick, I ended up with a severe upper respiratory infection and could barely function. I was sparse in my communication with him because I was so sick and weak and exhausted. I ended up getting a nasty e-mail form him saying if I just wasn't interested, then I should come out and tell him and not play sick.

I replied that I was sorry he felt that I was lying to him and would have gladly shown him my doctor's note for work and school. I ended up in the hospital for 2 days with pneumonia later in the month.

As it turns out, we went to the same dentist office and ran into each other about a month into my pneumonia recovery. (this was 4 months after our last date)

I still looked like death warmed over and was talking to the dental assistant (and personal friend) about how sick I was and he overheard. He came over and profusely apologized. I accepted and walked away.

Later that night he e-mailed me and again apologized over and over saying what a jerk he was and realizes he was too sensitive about it. I emailed back, again, accepting his apology and telling him I had moved past it and wishing him well.

That was the last time we spoke and since I have had to change dentists for insurance purposes, I don't run the risk of running into him there.

While many would say people don't owe strangers explanations, when one IS given, take it at face value and move on. If he doesn't call, or stands you up about your date (or in this case, if it didn't work out) then it wasn't meant to be and you are better off.

In the age of cell phones, where everybody has one, it's not unreasonable to expect a quick call or even a text if the person you've been out with a few times is laid up, sick, etc. A simple "Wanted to say hi. Sorry been out of touch. Very sick at the moment. Looking fwd to talking to you soon!" only takes a few seconds to type and send.
