if you feel a bit awkward when talking to a guy on a dating site might you just forget dating him?
congratulations to you
i'm not a teacher but i agree with what one of the male posters said. it's not whether he'll be flattered or take it the wrong way, it's whether someone else might take it the wrong way and think y'all have an inappropriate relationship. even if no one else overhears, he's still in an awkward position, because telling you a simple thank you might be giving you encouragement to flirt more (not saying you are actually like this), and not saying thank you might make you mad enough to try to get him into trouble (again, not saying you are actually like this). i would just leave it alone. you have to initiate conversations with him too sometimes or he will think you don't like him as much as he likes you. basically he probably got tired of chasing you so if you want him you should send him a message and start a conversation right now. Girl, same. You need to realise it wasn't you. Regardless of his reasoning. Even if he wasn't attracted to you, that's still on him so don't be insecure! You will miss him and that is normal, but you will find someone to share the rest of your life with.  
  
How I look at it is, every relationship is like picking up a card from a deck. You can pick up a king, or a joker, and very few people get that king first go. You may even need to go through half the damn deck- but he's in there somewhere:) no one reads cover letters. it's perfectly fine to name drop him, you don't need to go and bother him about it. i would say they are a blessing cause it led me to the man i am with now. i started out on online dating really young. my parents were very strict no boyfriend until i am 18.. everyone at school had boyfriends and teased me cause i didn't so i went online and found a guy in indiana and dated him online from the time i was 16 to 18.. he came met me and my parents then i went to meet his parents and thats when i got the concussion that turned my life upside down.. when i was told i would never walk again (so thankful to god that turned out to be false) not even a week later he was gone and good riddance too! when i was 21 i moved to a new area and i grew up very sheltered so i had no idea what i was doing. i was going to be going to college soon after meeting 5 guys dylan, ryan, donald, justin and antonio.. dylan was the only one that understood it was just companionship i was wanting.. the rest wanted to sleep with me. had on my profile getting ready to go into my first year of college would like a loving, caring, thoughtful man by my side but hed have to know college will be my focus for these two years then we have the rest of our lives. but i realized that was too much to ask. went on many one meal dates after i was done college cameron, josh, matt, sean, scott, ben, will, andrew, curtis, trevor. nothing came of them all great guys just not great for me. tried to see dylan again but he wasn't interested he was more depressed couldnt shake him of it.. then i met david he was everything i wanted in his speech but he turned out to just be a fine talker and his actions didn't line up.. so it was hard to get rid of him dated a month took 2 to get in his head i wasn't interested.. then my parents and friends kept trying to set me up. so i thought if i dated someone farther away probably better so i dated jean-francois well i got a surprise im here message one saturday and he was great just when i went to his place i didn't feel at home he had no interest in moving here and i didn't want to move there he kept trying to pressure me to so i lied to him said i wanted my roommate since he kept on thinking we were involved but no taylor was like a big brother to me.. he wanted me to get a new place nothing ever made him happy technology wise if a new thing came out he had to have it making fun of my a5 phone yes its old but it still works :) so i felt almost not good enough for him.. then i dated another david online i never got the opportunity to meet i would really like to meet! he is absolutely amazing i think but after being misled before i didn't want to risk moving. then decided well fuck i must be the problem guys in person wanted to date me but if we dont agree on fundamentals there's no future! a guy online you can discuss these things better to ask what they are looking for then answer that question cause you could get played. so i took 6 months to myself avoided all family functions.. i prayed every day god would lead me to my husband.. i only dated guys i could see myself married to or if they convinced me they deserved a shot. i didn't ever want to date just to date. i wanted the next guy i dated to be my husband and we met on okcupid and was on the app less than a week when i met him felt like i always knew him and i just knew this is it and a year and 9 months still going strong. so as long as your prepared for things to not go as you expect your fine.. the guys i dated online were 100x better than the guy i dated that was a customer at my work. online your safer behind a screen and you meet in a public place after one meal you should have a good feeler on the person. its easier to say i think your a great person but i dont think wed be a great match because... i wish you the best of luck.. hope you find what your looking for.. they usually say thanks you too! friends or associates you already know in person are more stubborn and take things more personally when you dont think they are your type. embrace the awkwardness, laugh it off, then chat with each other. if something else awkward happens, laugh it off some more just say hello, how are you? i think you are cute. here is my number call me.orhello handsome! i am going to get a drink. would you like to join? or if that doesn't help since you are shy. then try this, just look at the guy and when he stares back give him a smile if it's only occasionally, while this is a bit excessive, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt depending on his lifestyle. but if it happens all the time, i'd be asking them why myself. i'd say he only sees you as a friend though at best. i'd be upset if anyone took that long to reply lol. they'd better have their phone turned off or something lol Look girl let me tell you something I ignore the problem and it eats me up inside. Maybe you're feeling the same way. So is ignoring really going to HELP YOU move on? Who cares about him... what will help you move on? Because your definitely not ready. This guy is a NARS and he CHEATED on you and LIED about it to your face and you still felt sorry for him and wasted your precious time by trying to make him feel better? Girl where's your dignity? Did this guy crush you? Did he make you feel worthless at some point? I've been cheated on and it makes you question who you are so please do yourself a favor and walk away with confidence, dignity and respect for yourself because if you can't forgive him or if you keep being Mother Teresa and forgiving him and caring about him when he clearly didn't mind treating you bad then go ahead and waste your time. These feelings aren't fun they can consume you make you doubt yourself crush you so please breakup with him in a way that gives you peace and know that there's always someone else out there that won't take you for granted now notice I didn't say won't let you down because for example I told my boyfriend that the only way I'll leave him is if he cheats or lies to me with our finances with real life problems not pity stuff we couples argue about so if he broke your trust if you clearly had the line drawn in something and he still MADE A CHOICE to go against you then this guy ain't worth it. looks like he’s using a texting app which uses data not texts
