Hi guys, I got this message today, this is the guy I have been chatting with since Feb.He asked me out 3 weeks ago, had to cancel cause he had just started a new job, and had no money to take me out with, and asked if we could go out tommorrow night. I have'nt heard from him in a week, and I e-m him first this morning, so I approached him, I asked how his new job was going, made a joke I didn't want him to forget about me, and asked him if we we're still on, and this is his reply.
Florence,
I'm sorry I've not been in better contact about tomorrow evening......it's been a CRAZY first full week of work. I worked a full 40 hour week at the new job and two 7 hour nights making a kitchen counter top out of slate for a good friend of mine. He took it home but the only day I can put it in around his schedule is Saturday. I really do want to get out for a drink.....and I hope you'll give me yet another chance:) I'll talk to you soon.....on lunch break and have to get back. Have a good night and we can talk soon. Do you have a cell #.......maybe I could call you sometime this weekend:) Chris
I gave him my number in a quick, npo problem e-m and said yes, call me anytime..
I really believe him, and think he still will meet me, maybe not tomorrow, but I think he is interested and single, he is on OLD and myspace, so I don't think he's hiding a girl friend, but I have no instincts when it comes to men, and at this point I have met, dated and slept with 2 men from OLD and it didn't go anywhere,and I also have dated 2 guys I met in person and flirted with and they didn't work out , in the past 2 years.. so I really want advice on this, keep in mind, I'm 31, and he's 33, and we are both starting over from long term relationships, so the money aspect of it I can understand.But as I said, I have horrible instincts.
I probabally wouldn't be so confused about this guy if I didn't really like him, but I do. I have been talking to him for 4 months now, about once a week, and am just so comfortable with it. So what do you think,, 2 cents please

I echo this.
I know that some here can handle a FWB - I have had them too - I think my entire 20s were spent with FWB - basically people who were fun to be with but didn't go anywhere and you didn't care you just let them run their course. I was so focused on my career that I never wanted to be married and didn't have a clue on what I wanted or how to date or any of that.
The only thing I will say is that yes, a FWB might be great - but that is one more night or day I can spend doing something to get out there and do something different and meet someone or just more people. I have so little time now to get out and be social - I cannot imagine wasting it with a FWB - but that is me.
Well, I know one thing, I am thankful of my part-timer, I won't go without sex just cause I don't have a man, and if I slept with all the duds I date, I'd be a tramp, or if I waited for a good one, I'd be a nun...
It doesn't match the connection of having a long term wonderful meaning realtionship,,but since I'm still looking, I'll find it someday, if I'm even supposed too, or rather when I'm supposed too..
