z-


My main point of frustration was that I did not understand why he was talking to me for an hour.... (and if I hadn't said I had to go, how long would it have gone?)

I think he was both shy and wanting to find out if he wanted to go out.

Yup. I could ask anyone out on a date.

I think it's just varies on the person. A lot of ppl are different. I know for me personally, and this is just my preference, I'd rather talk to a person a few times on the phone to "feel them out" before I decide if I want to go meet up w/them for a coffee. And it's cool to get know each other on the date, too. But if this guys keeps talking on the phone for weeks on end and never asks you out on a date, perhaps ask him out? And see what happens. If he doesn't bite & go for it, or if he seems to dull/boring for you, then I wouldn't waste anymore time. That's just me of course.

I can tell you of a scenario I was in w/the last guy I dated. We talked on the phone for about a week before we actually met up. He seemed like a cool guy at first. We met up for dinner and he was very talkative and we would converse back & forth which was fine. Then we went to the movies to see American Gangster which I really wanted to see. Well, low and behold, he talked throughout the whole movie. I didn't ppl always talked all the time during the whole movie? But this bloke talked during the move the whole entire time. There was a moment where I wanted to reach over and slap him and say, "do you EVER shut up?! I'm trying to watch the movie & so is everyone else!" LOL!

YES!!! I am finding the same thing with online dating. I meet someone on match...we email a few times....and he is too chicken to come out and ask for my number or if I'd like to talk on the phone. Instead, I get these lame lines like "Let me know when I can send you my number". (Ummmm....see that's the thing about email...it's open 24/7?!) It's frustrating..the online thing is supposed to be a way to connect to meet in person, not an actual online-only relationship!

We talked for an hour with no sense of an ending,


****


Fill in the blanks. Sounds like dependency issues, a leash, a life line . .insecure . .. what did he talk about? Did it sound like a guy measuring an investment in dinner, or a lost puppy dog afraid to let go?


I ask questions, personal ones even, but to some kind of point and purpose

We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.
