I've had a couple emails with a guy and I had written him off essentially because he took about 3 days to reply to each email I've sent him.

My suggestions:

Guy #1 - Don't hold your breath but if you're interested in meeting him and finding out more, sure - why not continue to chat. I know that I don't often respond right away to messages from OLD prospects and even from my friends and family! With OLD guys, sometimes I like to spend some time figuring out my answers or I might just get busy and forget to answer, all kinds of things. But if he doesn't mention meeting soon or talking on the phone, beware of being a pen pal and be ready to move on if you don't want to hang on too long

Guy #2 - If you're just not sure, then what does it hurt? Your situation is different than kathy's because you just don't know. With hers, she could tell right away from the new picture that she was not attracted to him. You never know with this guy - it could just be the picture. You work near him so maybe you can meet for lunch. This is low commitment (you gotta eat lunch anyway), has a time limit and casual.

Hi Sparkle,

I'd give both guys a chance - you never know what might happen! But #2 sounds like a better possibility since #1 is online so much as you say.

Yet also, with Yahoo Personals, if you have Yahoo Messenger and leave it logged on all day, it APPEARS that you are logged onto Yahoo Personals also, even when you are not on there! So it'll look as if you are checking out things on the internet site or possibly chatting IM with people on there, when you might not be doing that. Yet of course you could be doing it also. Just wanted to point that out in case you are talking about Yahoo Personals.

Good luck to you and keep us posted.
