So, when I got my divorce papers I decided to experiment with online dating. And to say the least I found it very overwhelming, every day they send a list of people that you are able to contact and it was a LOT of people. I did attempt to write a few and I got a few hello's back, I've gone out with a couple of guys and am talking to another one. I finally decided to cancel the account, I'm not a very social person in the first place, I suffer social anxiety. So, I am left with these 3 men that I talk to and my problem is this. I really like one of them a lot. He is however, kind of hot and cold. As soon as I would think he is not interested anymore I get a text and he is very nice and says he misses me. We are long distance but have seen one another a few times. And yes we have been intimate and it has been so amazing. I feel like I'm in my 20s again and he has said the same thing to me. When we are together we have a wonderful time together. Then, we separate and life goes on again. I guess the problem I am having is that I feel much more connected than I think he is...and because of being bipolar I am afraid I am connecting dots that don't exist. Which is putting me on a bit of a roller coaster. Obviously the bipolar coaster is not a really fun ride to be on and I have been really stable for a really long time...it scares me that he could trigger an episode, especially if he does really like me.
He is in his 40s and never married, no kids...so part of me has said to myself from the beginning...what's wrong with him? I'm afraid to ask. Part of me just wants to enjoy the ride...I just need to shut up the other part of me that goes off into my own mental fantasy world.
So. Has anyone else come across this sort of experience?
Thanks for listening!

I met my bf on an online dating site.

I had to ask a few upfront questions in the beginning to make sure that we were both on the same page, and that he was going to be 'serious' about this relationship as I was (no seeing anyone else, etc)...

So far so good.

Perhaps it's time you two had an honest conversation.

Stay away from hot and cold people. Go for men who are into you
