If you have been following my saga, the latest guy I was talking to was a mega drama case (Married but wanted to have a girlfriend he could leave his marriage for). So, I ceased all contact with him and another guy, J, started sending me messages on the site. J seamed really interested at first, sending me a very nice message, then talking to me after I replied, and even giving me his number so we could text.

He and I then began texting each other than night, and then around 10 or so, he stopped. I assumed he had fallen asleep or something. The following day passed without a word, and then today, the second day after our first conversation, he texted me back with pictures of his two cats, and I replied with pictures of my own cat. His messages were short though, only one or two words long. I decided it was time to bring the conversation around toward us meeting in person, so I asked about his tattoos, and wanting to see them sometime. No response.

Is J even at all interested? I asked him what he was looking for relationship wise and he said he wanted to have a good friendship that would blossom into a full blown long term romance. He also said he'd be in it for the long haul. Since I'm not really actively looking for romance right now, per say, I thought having someone I could talk to and hang out with for a while would be nice.

I mean, I go through phases where I want this and that, and then I pull a complete 180 and am like "meh" about the stuff I want. Right now, I'm in the "meh" phase. I'm pretty content with where my life is right now, and wouldn't want to complicate someone else's life with my emotional drama. So, a friend right now sounds pretty damn good. Especially so as I have none to speak of.

Anyways, I'm writing your ears off, aren't I? The point I'm trying to get at is if J is truly interested, or not. I mean, is he struggling to find a way out of being my friend, in a way that doesn't make him look like a complete and total jerk, or is he just flustered and bashful?
