I have met a nice guy on line and he was coming to town on business. We had planned on meeting the day he got here. Well his flight didn't get in until after midnight. No biggie. He called me Monday morning and we were going to hook up after work. I thought he was suppose to call me and he thought I was going to call him. Needless to say, 10 rolls around and we are both scratching our heads. He calls and we laugh cuz we screwed up. He told me that Tuesday was going to be wild but he would try to call me and maybe we could meet up for drinks later in the evening. He called at 8:30 and they were just sitting down for dinner. He apologized and said he felt really bad and that he wanted to meet me. I told him no biggie, he was in town for work, not to meet me. He sounded genuinely disappointed. Today he calls me at the end of the day and says that he's swamped and won't be able to get together cuz he's tied up w/ his boss. Again, he expressed his disappointment and asked if he could call me tonight, even if it was late. He's leaving tomorrow.
My question is this...do you think he was just yanking my chain? I am a bit hormonal *lol* so I'm not thinking normally. Just wanted to get someone elses opinion. My roomie says he's definitely interested because he wouldnt be calling me or checking in w/ me. I hate being insecure *sigh*.

you're kidding, right? And your roommate thinks he's interested?
I've got $50 that say's you never lay eyes on him before he returns home.
LMAO...Oh LG, you cynical, jaded, little hard a$$! I love ya! I was thinking the same thing, but I was going to put it in more sympathetic terms. ; ) Love the scuba pics!
To the OP, I think he IS jerking you chain. Don't feel bad. This happens alot. Why, I don't know. It just does.
IMO, if he really wanted to meet you, he would. I've met guys via OLD who said how busy they were, but the ruly interested ones always made the time.

Been my experience that if a company is paying your way to travel on business, especially for a short time, they work you to death and keep you hopping. After all, they figure you're there to work and have nothing else to do.
Not to say the apparent confusion over the

MSI agree. My late husband traveled quite extensively for business. However, he aslo had *some* time for himself, unless it was a convention or seminar.
I just didn't like the way the guy here kept putting the OP off.
Never ignore red flags. They apply to us all. To ignore them is just to prolong the inevitable and kid ourselve about what is really going on. Typically the instant you say "my situation is different" -- you'll know you are ignoring a red flag.
PS - They're flags - not absolutes. So before I get 100 venomous responses - think about what a flag means. It's a caution not a court ruling...
Yup, the "I'm coming in from out of town on business" thing is a red flag for "MARRIED". I always question why they don't look for someone in their own area. Oh yeah, that's right! Because they're married! ;-) More likely all his late nights were because he had to call his wife.
Good you found out now and that he was not quite so honest about the pictures too. Oh well - another one bites the dust and as we like to say here... NEXT!
