So I meet a very nice man over the internet, we talked and laughed and had A great time. Now here is the issue, he said things while on our date that was like you would want to date someone like me, you want to kiss a dork like me, also he said when he was brave enough for us to hang out again huh. So we end the date and he says that I will he from again, ok so a day an half later he calls for 5 minutes saying he has been very busy with work and that he had fun and wants to hang out again. THen he says once again when he is brave enough, now what does that mean? I would figure since he is a marriage and family also a sex therapist he would know what to do and say but must not be. Anyways does that leave the door open for me to call him and ask him when he is free next? I dunno i mean it has

I'm with you - he may have self esteem issues - being a therapist doesn't preclude him form that. that said, I find the older I get, the less willing I am to 'coddle' people or otherwise convince them to want to be with me - if you do fine, let's get together not just tlk about it.

Let him get up the nerve to contact you and then you can ease the way by saying you had a good time when you got together. If he continues beating himself up, I'd give him up.
