putting on the breaks...

Hey guys,
I met this great guy over the weekend online. He sent me an email and I responded then we spoke briefly in IM. We have had great conversations on the phone also, He called me yesterday, and today and we have made plans to meet up this weekend. Im a little concerned because we have such a good time talking and we have so much in common that it might be a mistake to talk this much. Not only did he call me today he talked to me in IM when I was at work for about 3 hours. He said that he would call me again tommorrow..is this bad? I dont know, im not used to someone being this attentive, at the same time im worried it might fizzle... any ideas?

He sent me an email and i replied. So in this case met as in encountered not face to face.
You send him this email:
"Would you like to get together for coffee?"
And then unless you want an email buddy - don't continue to correspond unless he replies to setup a definite time (nope - sometime, I'll check, Busy but next week -- don't count). The most I'd give him is an "ok, email me when you know your schedule".
Believe me - if you play it any other way you're setting yourself up for a potential disappointment when you meet.
this was all great advice guys, Usually I get the other kind of guy, the HJNTIY guy. That has been my OLD experience so far, so this sorta threw me, but ive read the other threads here and i know that it dies down after the first date usually. I will try to keep my expectations low and just see what happens. Ill let you know, fortunately i know all about "NEXT".
