    Nothing really. Well, I'm not sure, maybe I'm just being paranoid. There just suddenly seems to have been a huge nose-dive in communication, no mention of seeing each other again, a few slightly flirty texts, but... :confused: just thought things were going really well and now I'm not sure at all. :(

    Aren't there four of them? Is Mark too small to actually be visible? :)

    Maybe he's moved into comfortable mode snags. You know, he doesn't have the chase any more so now he can relax a bit and turn into a bloke.

    Very little to be honest - we have exchanged a few texts, they were possibly flirty, but possibly just friendly...suppose I just hoped for a bit of reassurance, but I'm suddenly not feeling very confident about the whole thing.

    Oh well, no point stressing about it I guess. :o

    Snags thats pretty normal hun after a little bit of fun...God I remember those feelings of utter dispare waiting and waiting and really not knowing where you stand. As hard as it is I would take a back seat now..wait for him to send the next text or call then just play it cool, say it was lovely to hear from him etc etc you know

    If nothing of substance has been said, then you stand in exactly the same position you stood in the instant the last thing of substance was said.

    No news is no news...

    I guess also snags us women continue that chase as we "need" that reassurance that there will be something more and thats our way of getting it...this can backfire by men thinking we are getting a bit "bunny boilerish" when really all we want to know is that there will be something more. If only we played the same game hey

    Need for constant reassurance (it's not a gender thing) can also be exploited by those manipulators who know it is needed and who extract a price. You might think they're the bees knees, but you will have an emotionally turbulent and torrid time (intentionally) because the unsure, underconfident and needy are their prey.

    Sometimes the blase are a blessing...
