Need your advice!

Hi. I'm new to OLD and these boards. I met someone online and we emailed each other for about a week. We both decided we wanted to meet each other. We then talked on the phone the other night but I don't think it went very well. I was extremely nervous. I was married for 13 years and this is the first person I met online. He said he would be busy for the next two days and he asked if he could call me. We emailed each other every day but since the call I haven't gotten a phone call or email. Has anyone experienced the same thing and what is your advice on what to do next? Thanks.

he asked if he could call and you said yes I assume. The ball is in his court if he does not call/email it means he ghosted you (disappeared without a trace)

It is ok since you are new to this. consider this as part of experimenting phase. In OLD it s very easy to say there is 700 other guys I could chat with. Even if he sounded like a catch chances are even if you met you would most probably not click.
Fact to support my argument: look at how many people have been doing OLD for years nad years and are still single. Lots

Its totally normal AND ok to be nervous at this point. & the same thing happened to me - emails are WAY less stressful & more relaxing - once we were on teh phone, at 1st, it was more stressful. But once you meet, if it goes well, things will get less stressed.

Relax, & HAVE FUN!
