Well, after taking a long break from dating, I have ventured back into OLD. I had someone I am interested in contact me. We have exchanged emails for several days and he gave me is IM contact info. We chatted a bit this weekend, but he was at work and they got busy.
I don't want to look like I am chasing him, so should I see if he is online tonight? Or should I just wait and see if he emails me again? This is the first person I have been slightly interested in in a long time and I don't want to look like I am the one doing the pursuing.

I don't see anything wrong with being on the IM - but I would not stay on too late - see if he asks for your phone number. Of course if he emails you and asks you that, even better, right?

Aye - good point. I totally agree that HE should be the one for contact. I thought that Step mean should she hang out with her IM turned on so he can see she is online and contact her.

That WAS what I meant! LOL! Soonee has a good point that I never thought of. He will contact me however he is most comfortable. But, I am not gonna sit around online all night either. I will just leave it up while I "do my thing" at home.

GOOD!

The best thing you can do is nothing - he has to do it. The right one will come after you hard and strong - like a prize game fish on the line. You definitely want the guy who is ready to settle down and who thinks of YOU as MsRightforHim.
