Hey honey, you may not have noticed but this here's just idle banter and I can take any flames that this lot here want to throw at me.

Damn those guys for drawing your attention to that post though. It sounded there like I was finally starting to get somewhere with you.

But yeah, I'm really quite a patient sort of guy and I know you're only playing hard to get with me.

Also, I'm healthy and don't make lame excuses about not feeling well and stand up women like that.

yeah. I get how you're feeling right now. I've been e-mailing back and forth with a guy, for the last few days, but he hasn't been in touch yesterday, or today. I should probably just forget him then. Seems he was only wanting to talk and then dissapear. He could have at least told me he was leaving the site, but did he? No. So bye bye to him.

Oh no Crystal! That's horrible! Well.... all I'm going to say is that you need yourself an amazing MAN... and obviously this little boy was taken away from you before he caused some damage!

@ Tawt, I'm glad your a patient man. You're gonna need it!

@ Rawrr Girl, yeah, easy to get sucked in. Really s*x if they just bugger off without saying anything. Hope you're not too upset about it

@ Massiel, indeed, emphasis on AMAZING, haha.
No (emotional) damage done, it just s*x that ppl treat you that way.

You would not believe how patient I can be. It's maybe not appropriate to talk about ex partners but I've done it plenty on here and I've had to put up with a hell of a lot from women.

It's not that I'm a pushover or a lickspittal because I'm obviously not but I try to be understanding. You just can't win with some women though and they will take a guy that works out how they tick as being manipulative or it develops into arguments where they tell you that you don't really understand them and that you don't listen to them, bla, bla, bla.

Thanks :) Not to sound uncaring, but if I only chatted with him for those few days, it's hardly worth feeling upset about. He chose to run off and not return. His choice.

It happens all the time to most people on here I think. You chat with them for maybe a few days; seem to be getting on well and then they stop replying.

You don't know if it's something that you said or what it is. Could be that they are just time wasters and when you actually start talking about aranging a date that's it, or maybe they are talking to somebody else that they're more interested in. No way to know really. I had one that said that she did want to meet me and we even got as far as chatting on the phone but even though she said she was still up for it and the chat we had wasn't awkward, she was honest enough to say to me that she wasn't really feeling the chemistry.

What happens is that they like the fantasy but they often don't want to take it any further than that.
