Hi everyone,

I met a guy online about three weeks ago. We spoke a whole lot on the phone before actually meeting because he felt I needed to sort things out since I had just left a two month relationship.

Anyway, we met for the first time about a week ago. That same night he wrote an email letting me he had loved his evening out with me. Then we met again last saturday. At the end of the date, he promised we would meet again this monday.

On monday, he sent me an email saying that he had caught a bad cold and that he wouldn't be able to make it that night. So I tried calling him that same evening, but he did not answer the phone. I left a message and he never called back.

Finally, yesterday I received an email from him telling me his cold had turned into an acute case of bronchitis and that he was in bed since Sunday evening. I emailed back and told him to call me when he felt better.

The week-end is coming up full speed ahead, and I he did not even email me back or call me tonight. He puts kisses at the end of his messages, but he never says that he is anxious to see me again.

So do you think he is just keeping me hanging on, or should I believe him?

I am 36 and he is 35, but I feel like I am a teenager when I am starting to date someone. We kissed by the way on Saturday and I thought it had meant something. I feel so naive.

Thanks for caring,

Gen

Believe him until he proves otherwise.

Hmm...I thought bronchitis took more than a couples days to get over (isn't that pretty serious?), but I could be wrong. I wouldn't expect to hear from him until at lesat sometime next week. If he's lying, it'll come out soon enough.

You should be dating other people anyway so you're not so focused on one person.
