    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

    Exactly, that's why I haven't pushed for any kind of reassurance, or dropped any hints other than to say I had a really lovely evening, and he said he had too, so I should just believe him but it's worrying me how quiet he has gone.

    I'm not going to get upset over it though, because I'm really not the bunny-boiler type. I'll just have to wait and see what happens, but !!!!!!, whyyyyyy does all this have to be so hard?!!! You stress about being single, and you wonder whether you will ever meet anyone you really like, and then you do, and it should be lovely, but instead it's just more stress!!

    I'm sticking to being single from now on I think. :rolleyes:

    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.
    This was Shrek all over - perhaps I'm just tarring Mr Sunday with the same brush. We will see anyway.
