I have been communicating with a fire fighter from a local dating site.

Jodie, I think by him wanting to stay and continue your meeting, and by the questions he asked you showed that he has a genuine interest in you. I'm crossing my fingers that he's just been really busy getting ready to leave and hasn't had a chance to get back to you yet. If not...you know the drill, NEXT!! Do we know that drill to well or what??

Hi Libra-


Yes...If it were not for the word "Next" what would life be like?

I don't know what life would be like without the word NEXT. But I sure would like to find out. :-)

Back at 'cha!

I wouldn't worry about the eye contact thingy. I do that too a lot. I'm just always aware of my surroundings and the people coming and going around me and chances are he is too being in the Reserves and his job.

Did you ever see that movie “I’m with Lucy” it’s cute, it’s about one woman who broke up with her BF and then goes on 5 dates w/in the next year – one of which she ends up marrying, I recommend you rent it since you’re out there like me (lots of things to relate too).

Hi True,

There are a lot of things about this that sound good, now, just hang back, go on about your life, and, I know this is So Hallmark, but if it is meant to be...try not to "think" so much--we women do that, men generally do Not.

I was here many times when on OLD, I called it Agony 101; you have so many questions swirling around,you go over every word said, every action and reaction...but, when it is Right, there everything will So fall into place, that before you can Wonder if he will call,he already Has. Everything goes that way, so I think this is what makes it possible to see when someone has real potential. The 'too busy' thing flies out the window. That, of course, depends on where a person Is; as far as their desire for a partner/friend/love. This man may want to communicate with you while he is gone, and that is cool but Please do not stop until someone gives you Great reason to. Keep meeting, dating, going and doing. Never assume, keep rolling on.

I am wondering why he asked 'what kind' of man you usually dated, and what was your answer like, as the 'kind' of man, must have been "kinda' like Him!? :)

Keep us posted, expect nothing, and smile when things turn out well for you, because they Will!

Truly,
Cupcake

Well if he's on training with the Army Reserves- he may not have access to a phone which is why he hasn't called yet.

It sounds like he's interested. BUT...this man is a firefighter AND in the Army. In my experience, those tend to be 2 groups of men that LOVE LOVE LOVE the ladies. So, my advice is keep living your life, date, have fun- don't wait for this one to come back. If he does, then great. If not, than as SP reminded me in another post- at least you know that guys you connect with do exist. :)
