He won't text again, will he?

You are trying to bake a cake using all the wrong ingredients. Was this the same guy from the prior post that you had closed? If so, your cake didn't come out because you are trying to make one without a recipe.

Sorry for the cheesy analogy, but it's true.

Though it's easy to say you're a nice guy and yet not be one. A lot are guilty of doing that. Being nice mainly to try and get something from another person rather than just being genuinely nice to others.

actions speak louder than words. Usually if one pays attention it is easy to spot if the person is nice and is into you for real or he just says so. Watch his actions not words

On a dating site you have access to many people. You do. He does. I wouldn't take it as rejection if he changed his mind. He probably found someone who was a better match than you, or lived closer. That does NOT imply there is anything wrong with you. It implies you were not the one for him. Don't take things so personally and please don't hang all of your hopes on the first guy who responds to your profile. Relax a little bit and be choosy. You will find the right guy in time.

(((hugs))), I'm sorry you got disappointed. It sounds like he was perhaps not a very considerate person if he did not explain to you his reasons for not texting.

Keep your mind open, but guard your heart until you feel sure the person is worth trusting it to - when you feel ready that is.

Where are all the nice guys at?

No, he's probably not going to respond to you anymore. Just move on to the next one. Don't let it get you down. It's okay to be disappointed but move on to the next guy. Play the numbers game.

I'm already onto another guy. He and I have been emailing. He lives about 2 hours away though, and can't afford to text, but we have exchanged numbers so we can call each other.

He can't afford to text? Move on to the next guy. Almost all plans are unlimited talk and text now with the only difference being the data plan. If he can't afford to text, he can't afford to take you out. Move on, I say!

But that's just my opinion.

*sigh* Story of my life...always being told to move on...

Yeah I'm with seesaw on that one ... can't afford to text? Hmmmm....

*sigh*......

I wouldn't say you need to move on because he can't afford texts. I would want to find out why. Is he the type that just hate texting so he bought a plan that doesn't have texting on it? Or something like that? Or he is unemployed and had government phone etc I'd want to know more.

When I've met my fiancée he had hideous phone with hideous plan with no data. Mind you he is college educated professional so clearly can afford nicer phone, he just had no reason, he wasn't spending much time on the phone so he didn't care what phone he had. He got a different phone and a plan as soon as we started dating. Ask him why can't he text? There might be a good reason

Well, the reason he gave me thus far is that he is poor and lives out in the boonies. He also said that because of his remoteness, he has a poor signal on his phone. I can understand not having a lot of money, I certainly don't abound in the wealth myself. Besides, he seems sweet. When I said I had social anxiety he said he'll make it easier for me the first time I call him by letting it roll over to voicemail. He also said he has a thing for red heads, which I am, naturally. I don't plan on being any other color than red my whole life, until I get older. Then my hair will most likely turn to a snow white color, or so my stylist says.

So, I bit the bullet and called him. As he promised, he let it roll over to voice mail. I didn't really know what to say so I rambled a bit.

Ok so far so good. Concept of poverty is relative. Does he work? What does he do for a living? If it is something he enjoys but it's not lucrative it's perfectly fine as long as he is actually employed and pays his bills.

He called me back and we talked a little. I learned that he works for Walmart. He's also an empath, which I am too. It was funny because he was at Walmart when he called me, and I was at Lowe's and we were both out shopping. How funny is that?

I live in the country with crappy reception even with AT&T. There are times I don't even get texts from people until 24 hours later so I can understand his not liking to text....but I could also be holding my phone when someone called & it wouldnt ring but go directly to VM. cell phones are wonderful but living in the country makes them a challenge.

I couldn't even get T-mobile where I live unless standing outside in my field. He makes sense if his country service is anything like mine

So far so good. He has a job and he called back. Good signs. Keep us posted

Well I called him today, but he didn't answer. I couldn't help but feel a bit....clingy...but I wanted to talk to him. Maybe he's working. He does have a job. Yesterday could have been his day off.

Yeah probably at work

Why are you only talking to one guy at a time? You should be playing the numbers game and talking to multiple at one time to increase the chances of success.

I don't know seesaw. I'm just not comfortable with juggling more than one guy at a time I guess. I guess I'm not comfortable with it because it might get confusing and hard to keep track of everyone. I am more at ease with things are nice and simple, and I take it one guy at a time. Maybe not an ideal way to go about this, and I'm well aware it's a numbers game, but it's how I feel most comfortable.

Did I read on the Autism forum that you are Dx'ed with ASD? That can be a good reason for needing things more simple in your life also. My H was ASD & he couldn't handle more than one thing in his life at a time

In my understanding artchic was never diagnosed. I suggest to get properly diagnosed. Self diagnosing is just not valid. Saying that of course one night suspect what they might have
