So I got one of those, these are your matches from match.com emails. Totally cute guy with similiar interests pops up so I take the initiative and email him on Feb25. He emails back on Feb25 with a short email that can be summed up as "your cute call me (he gave his ph#) or email me if you have any questions." So on Feb26 I email him back instead of calling. No response so far but his profile also says "online within the last 5 days" So while he hasn't written me back he hasn't been online either. Could be he met the girl of his dreams over the weekend, that would be my luck.

But I wondering if I should call or wait. My gut says wait. But dam he is cute.

Ya....I pretty much figure I blew my shot to call and now have to pay by waiting for a response or lack there of.

de-lurking here- I met the man of my dreams on singleparentsmingle.com (match.com was to "booty call" for me) and I am a Rules Girl because they work! Will be moving in shortly and engaged.

if he isn't calling you or pursuing you he isnt' that intersted, move on. And if he isn't that intersted he won't ever truly adore you and treat you like you are supposed to be treated.(and vice versa)

You shouldn't be emailing guys first- next time if a guy sends you his phone number, send him yours back and have him call you...that you way you know he's truly intersted instead of "sort of" interested.

I know it sounds old fashioned, but man some things just don't change. BTDT
read "The Rules for Online Dating " I used to think they were silly until I got divorced- man if someone would have given me that info sooner....

I think it would have been okay to
have called him but since you've now
emailed, I would wait to hear back
from him first.
