So I get this message on POF from Mr. S:
"Subject: Hey gorgeous Sent Date: 4/24/2007 5:14:31 PM

Hey I just wanted to say hi and to say that I haven't forgotten about ya I have just been busy. I hope to get together with you again soon."

Is it me or does this sound like a form letter? Argh...I am not going to email back right? He'll call if he wants to right?

I'm trying hard to resist emailing back but on good authority from our "NEXT!" motto....I'm going to resist

Not knowing how the tone of all the rest of your emails went, I would say to give him another chance... but make him wait for it. There's no need for you to email him back right away. You can wait until tomorrow. Or after lunch. haha.

I wouldn't just write him off if it was such a grea tdate, maybe he has been busy. After only one date, there's really no way to be sure. If it becomes a pattern, I'll join you in calling out NEXT, but I think it's excusable once.

Moody, who would email back tonight after dinner probably

I would definitely wait a little bit like moody said. However, do remember he did think of you, he took the time to write or copy and paste (LOL) and you only had one date. However, if it continues to be a pattern, I definitely would go with "next". So don't be too hard on him if the date was great. Remember, guys want to come off as "cool" a little bit, even though they maybe thinking of you 24/7. That is what I have learned.

I also agree with Moody. Give the guy a benefit of the doubt at this stage of things.... But don't reply immediately... Reply a day or two later with a quick response and whether or not you also want to see him again. Then let him make the next move.

Good luck,

"Thanks - it is always nice to hear from you."

The thing is - he has to make the time and effort to fit you in. I don't think it has ever worked for me when I have prodded, prayed or poked them into ACTION - it has just used up my energy and frustrated me.

I have one now that is calling and calling and emailing because he wants me to see him again. The shame of the matter is that he is the one who has too much drama with 2 exs and the leftovers of a recent and very messy divorce, coupled with nothing really left to offer.

But there is a new one on the line - just sent him an email.
