Why does a guy hide his profile?
| Tue, 09-13-2005 - 11:29pm |
It's me again...I'm here so much I should start paying rent ;-)
I've been e-mailing this guy sporadically for the last month. For the first 3 weeks, he was in another state with the Army Reserves or National Guard or something, so we only e-mailed about a half dozen times. Our e-mails haven't been much of anything, just "hey, when are you coming home? Let's chat sometime...how's it going in Georgia?" kind of stuff. But he e-mailed me the day he got back to tell me he was back, and that we'd chat on IM as soon as he got his internet service turned on in his new apartment. This was Friday. I responded on Friday nite, with another short e-mail. He e-mailed back on Saturday, I waited until Sunday afternoon to respond. (These are to/from personal e-mail accounts.) Then last nite (Monday), he e-mailed me to/from our Match.com accounts, saying that he had gone to a footbal game and lost his voice, but that when I got back from vacation on Saturday (I'm leaving in the morning), we'd chat; I responded to that one.
Well, I tried to look up his profile to see his pics again tonite, and he's hidden his profile.
So what the hell does that mean? He's the one that winked at me first, and I haven't bombarded him with e-mails, in fact, for the most part, he's been the one to e-mail me first, so I can't imagine that he's hiding from me specifically. And we haven't even e-mailed anything substantial, so I know it's not b/c he only wants to focus on me (well, I could hope, but I don't think that's very likely! lol)
So why else would he have hidden his profile? I have to wait 5 more days before I can e-mail him and find out! Any ideas?

HI C,
Hmmm, a little red flag-age here...so you say he got Back into town, but you all have not seen each other yet? Why not? If a man likes you, he wants to be around you. Amen.
People hide their profiles for a lot of reasons; many times they do not want someone who is not Supposed to see them on OLD, online, so they hide it when that person gets a clue it is there...it could be much more innocent than that. True that he has the Right to be dating a lot of people, but in my OLD experience, hiding a profile was not a very good thing, nor the reason for doing so.
As far as being overwhelmed by mail,I got a lot of hits in my 8 months on OLD and they just came to my mailbox and I opened them as I had time, per My schedule, and it was no real problem. Yet, some may be overwhelmed, and choose to be hidden.
Jmho, but I think I would put back burner, go have fun on vacation and let him pursue you. It seems a good time to bring this to phone conversations and some dates, as well, don't you think? Gotta progress, or it is time for Ding! Next!
Truly,
Cupcake
Just a little confused, that's all...
The rollerblading guy I'm seeing hid his profile too.
