Emailing and old flame-Is he interested
| Mon, 03-08-2004 - 12:20pm |
I have been emailing an ex from high school for the past 7 months. We saw each other when he was in state for a visit, and have been emailing back and forth for the 7 months since. These are just "friendly" emails-We don't have a LDR or anything. However, even though they are "friendly" I am interested, but recently divorced. Just wondering what his motivations might be-Just friends or is he keeping the communication going because he is "interested". Sometimes I think he's being polite...my girlfriend says he would not have kept it going this long if he wasn't at least somewhat interested...He would have blown me off a while ago. We have exchanged over 100 emails back and forth. Any opinions?

From experience I have come to know the danger of emails, IMS, etc. I believe the internet can be a wonderful yet dangerous thing b/c it's just so darn easy. It takes almost no effort to correspond with people, find people, say whatever you want, find solace, excitement, etc. all at the touch of a button. But when you get right down to it, it's not real life. Being friends (or more) with someone online merely equates to having a penpal IMO.
You say that my answer was not what you were looking for. Is what you were looking for more along the lines of "yes, he's definitely interested in you, and he hopes to have a long term relationship with you."? People can tell you what you want to hear but it may not be the truth.
These boards are filled with posts from women who all ask the same questions, will he call?; is he interested in me?; do we have a future?; what do you think he's looking for? It's as if the posters expects someone to have a crystal ball and be able to predict outcomes. Most of the questions that women come here asking should really be posed the man involved. Not to your girlfriends, your family members or coworkers.
