Help/Analzye this

Ok, so most of you know that I went on the coffee shop date, we left, I emailed him saying thank you for making me feel comfortable and then he emailed right back saying he enjoyed my company and maybe we could get together at my house and he could help me cook, or we could order out. Then on the last line he said until then have a good weekend?? ...I emailed back saying I would like that and again stated my hours for the weekend and that I was off Monday and Tuesday..and have not heard from him since????? I even have a little thing called "read notification" and he hasn't read the email stating my hours this weekend???/ Now what does this mean????? He is gone for the weekend??? WHAT?????? Am I expecting too much too soon? Was he really interested???? Now I am all depressed, and I was even getting excited about the "touching" stuff...... I'm going to bed I guess....but please help me figure this out.....Ronna??? AJ???? Dawn??? Dirty girl??yes you Cathy???? Jaci???? Beth???? AM I crazy?????

Marsha... Girl...hang tight! Chill! I doubt he'd offer to get together with you this week if he didn't mean it, seriously. Play a liiiiittle hard to get. Works like a charm. You're not just sitting around waiting for his email or call...you are a busy, lively beautiful woman whose got important stuff to do! (even if it's trimming your toenails but hey, he doesn't have to know that!!) Chele

Umm Chele, I AM sitting and waiting for his call, but I see your point..This dating/waiting stuff is so freakin new to me....Ok, off to.... well..... surely I can find something to do.....I just had a pedi, so the toenail thing is out, but thanks for the suggestion!!!!

I just had a pedi too! Organize a few closets? Go for a walk? Go shopping? Call or email some friends? Give yourself a "spa" night (facial, etc) Watch a favorite movie or two? Anything. Just don't pine away...a watched pot never boils. Chele

I know, I am being so silly....Why would someone say he wanted to meet again and email me if he didn't want to....Thanks Chele off to do my homework, put clean clothes away, and read a little before bed..... oh and I AM A GODDESS....

Hi Marsha My guess is he's out of town for the weekend. That would explain why your message hadn't been read yet. Don't worry.......let's take it slow and steady Sending you calming vibes and hugs, Ronna

Let me tell you what happened with me and it might help you. I have been talking to a guy that I graduated high school in 92. We been talking, we have went to Six Flags together with his little boy, He has came over and played Dominoes with my 3 boys and I. Then last night he suggested coming over with a movie that was fine. Then my kids started fighting of course and then he can I stay the night like on the couch and before I knew it I said that will be fine. What was I thinking? I have been happily divorced since Feb 03. I freaked out. Now I avoid his calls. Get this I have just been hired for the new Home Depot and he knows it and he knows I'll be in a certain department. What it all boils down to me is that is no chemistry between me that I see and he and I are like day and night in everything. Atleast you have some lightning between you guys. How am I going to get out of this without hurting his feelings? Hugs, Heather 242/160/130

Hey Marsha Ann, Here's my opinion: 1st of all- He hasn't read the e-mail. So it means that he isn't necessariy avoiding you. He is just doing weekend stuff. It would be totally different if he read it and did not respond. Playing hard to get is so hard to do - but it helps if your really interested. For example, If you have something already planned, don't rearrange it to accomodate. It lets him know that you have a life. You are a very important and special lady. Enjoy your weekend. Go see 'The Lake House'. It is a chick flick. I am going tomorrow. That or 'The Break -up'. They have to get back together in the end - I am sure of it. Your not crazy. It is a wonderful feeling to know that someone is interested. Your very brave. I can't get up the nerve to go out on some of the blind dates that have been available for me. Hugs, Beth

Marsha, Holy Cow! I guess I forgot how exciting and nerve-wracking dating can be. I don't envy you... and yet, I'm jealous at the same time! Look, It seems to me that one of two things is going on here. First scenario: He probably hasn't been anywhere near his computer for a while. As an example, I consider MYSELF an internet regular, and this is the first time that I've been on the board in like... 48 hours. Sometimes, regular life happens. Second scenario: Guys like to seem cooler than they really are. We think that it's not cool to look eager. Back in my single days, I blew the chances at a bunch of potential relationships by trying to "play it cool". While I was pretending to be too busy and aloof, another guy would swoop in. This could be a misguided way of trying to impress you. No matter what, I wouldn't sweat it. HE offered to get together. Usually, a guy wouldn't even suggest another date unless he meant it. Take a breath... You're certainly not crazy. -A.J.

RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He hasn't even read your e-mail yet, so don't worry! I would worry more if you knew he had read it and hadn't responded. So, relax and see what happens AFTER he read the e-mail. I also agree with playing it a little cool. Remember that you are a great woman and should be treated as such! Lisa S. 227/155.6/140 5'6.5"
