I "met" a fellow online who lived in another city, and for almost 3 months we had an intense online romance. We would Skype for hours a day, sometimes 5 or 6...we couldn't get enough of each other. We had incredible connection, and right from the start, he talked about us meeting. He told me he was crazy about me; gave me every indication that he was serious about having a relationship with me. It really sounded sincere. I then started hearing from him less and less. Times he was supposed to call me, he had excuses; one time when I was supposed to call him his phone wasn't on, he wasn't returning my messages, until finally I just never heard from him again. I've racked my brain as to what happened. All I can think of is that he must be in a in a relationship or he met someone, and doesn't have the guts to tell me. How could someone go from 100% to zero?


This will sound harsh.....but it is truthful....so here ya go. He disappeared on ya cause he heard there was a massive sale at Home Depot. I mean...you ladies have to understand...when a dude gets tools he spends his time with them....it's an intimate moment....like Golem with the ring going "My Precious", Lesson over.

Answer to "Why do men just disappear,Cause we're all freaking "HUDINIS",smokin ,Hahaha couldn't resist to say that lol:laughing: ,but that's some people here in general,men AND women do it,I have no clue why, and quite frankly, and don't give a horse $&#T anymore ,last person that emailed me,after about 2-3 messages,the last one i sent said something like," are you going to deactivate soon,caue i been getting that often,ain't got know more message from that one!So nothing surprises me on here anymore!!ohwell :smile:

Can't answer for anyone but me.
But, I'll generally end a relationship if
the woman has no redeemable qualities about her personality.

Afraid to commit! Not knowing what to do.

I was with my girl for 4 years before we got married. I was the one holding back. She kept asking me..... Do you want to marry me? After so many times of her asking, I sat her down and said we will get married, just not now. Married over 10 years.

There are many variables involved in the divorce. No kids thankfully.

Let's just say............. I HATE CHEATERS!

Never trust anyone until they have proven to you that they can be trusted.
I wish you better luck next timeflowerforyou



i think that's wrong, you have to extend some trust to receive it... it's always a give and take with trust...

I think we just cant take what happens on public forums so seriously,,,,they may be the real deal and they may be a creep,, hard to tell if its only online and one hasn't observed someones interactions with others for any period of time,,,


i agree, until you meet, you just don't really know... expectations can be a bummer

I also think it's wrong to never trust until someone has proven themselves trustworthy...I trust everyone until they give me a reason not to...By giving immediate trust, I mean I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, not the key to my safety deposit box (pun IS intended:wink: )...

I totally agree with Harmony...With Moe I feel the same about expectations, but I do think if you spend enough time and you take advantage of all the communication tools offered, you can fall in love with someone you have yet to meet...It's a slippery slope because it can turn out to be love based on false truths, but it's still love...Please don't yell at me!!:tongue:

Not exactly, but somewhat. She said it was both our faults for the divorce. Cheating online to me is the same as close and personal. Especially when it comes to past college BS. I have printed proof.


Lie after Lie............ After over 10 years of marriage. Just yummy.

I don't think distance was the issue. We live about 1000 miles apart, and have visited each other's cities years ago. It was actually when I was telling him that I had looked into flights to go and visit him, that he started doing his Houdini act, so it seems to me that he's with someone, and couldn't have me around. I "met" him on another dating site, and when I checked on there one time after I hadn't heard from him for 3 weeks, noticed that he had been online within the last hour, so doesn't that seem like he's on the prowl for someone else? I promptly went off it. I wondered why he was on a Canadian dating site when he lives in the US. Maybe all he was looking for was someone to flirt with online without any intent to meet, but boy, he sure seemed sincere.

I appreciate everyone's insight and speculation. I'm feeling a little rejected by the whole experience, and could use some support. No more long distance dating for me!
