Met a guy online. He sent me an email first. I responded. We had a great back and forth. A week later I left him a fun short email in the late afternoon. One sentence to be exact. He responded later that night. Next day I responded. We had another great back and forth. Our exchange was more like a real-time chat. But it was email so there was some delay. The dating site doesn't have a chat feature. I said it would be great if it did. He asked me if I was on any other social networking site. I said I wasn't anymore. He gave me his #. I said "that was fast" and I signaled I wasn't quite there yet, in a funny way. But the back and forth continued, fun and light via email.
Four days later (am) I was cleaning up my inbox at the site and accidentally clicked on his profile and also somehow deleted our messages. Left him a funny message about that. (Because he would be notified I had gone to his profile.) One that did not require a response. He responded quickly and said he wanted to meet me before he leaves town in a little over a week. He's moving to another city, which is an hour or so flight away.
I didn't respond right away. I thought OK we've emailed, there's a good vibe so far, he's moving, let's try a phone call and just see how that goes. And I was OK with the distance because IF we did meet and hit it off we could take the time to get know one another and seeing each other wouldn't be a big deal IF that's where it went. I called early that evening and left a brief message including my number. I didn't ask him to call me, no rambling, just an "ok, talk soon". Zero neediness. There's been no response.
I know the signs, this guy was interested. He made that clear.
What the?
For the record, I know better than to try and contact him again via phone or email. I have no interest in doing that. I understand that moving is time consuming, but remember he was initiating. I was just curious to hear different perspectives. Preferably from a male point of view.
