Overeager?

I just began sending emails back and forth with a new match. I sent the first one on Thursday, and he responded rather quickly that same night. I sent him my reply today, and he responded within a few hours.

I tend to think that he might be new to online dating, and hence the excitement and newness of it might be causing him to respond in this way. I also know that guys that come on strong at first tend to fade away just as quickly. Should I be concerned at this point?

We complain when they email too quickly...we complain when they email too slowly. Personally I would just set a meet and see waht happens!

I don't think you can draw conclusions from how fast they email you back.

I am certainly not complaining. I just wonder if this is a bit of a red flag given past experience that I've had with another guy. At the time, he was still reeling from a breakup, and I didn't find that out until much later. Had I known it at the time, it would have explained his behavior.

I'll give the age old advice: don't let other's past behaviour affect your opinion of new people you meet. Just because this other guy was eager and then you found out he just got out of a relationship, doesn't mean that every guy that emails you back within a couple of hours has the same problem.

I say, meet him to find out what he's like, and don't base it on the timing of his emails. Unless, of course, you're looking for a reason NOT to meet him :)
