Overeager Man?

I finally met a guy in person after communicating through e-mail. During the e-mail process he would immediately answer my e-mails, like he had nothing else to do. Last night he left a voicemail regarding our meeting face to face and I was ready to call him back when HE called. Then today after the date he said "give me a call sometime". I thought, ok, works for me. Then tonight he called me! Have any of you had experiences like this? It's been a while since I've been in the dating scene so any advice is much appreciated!

I think we all work on different timetables and from different places in our life. When I got out my marriage I was eager to jump right into a relationship. I had no qualms and wanted to face having a relationship fearlessly. I found that some women did not have that same perspective or view.

Now I am more cautious and not so much in a hurry. I think this also works in opposition with some women who would like to have someone more eager to create a relationship.

It's all a dance. I think the key is communicating and understanding what the other wants and knowing what you want. If you don't communicate and work on the understanding then it becomes expectations, judgment, assumptions, and resentment.

Maybe he really likes you and can't help himself.

I wouldn't judge him so fast. He may really likes you. He may have the kind of work that allows him to be flexible. Just be nice and and patient with him and see how it turns out.
