    No but I am trying to have some faith! And so far he does seem the least weird of all the guys that I have chatted to.

    The funny thing is we get on really well but he is really different from the people that I have dated in the past, and I so don't think that I am actually ( on the surface ) he type, but he is really funny and he e-mails make me laugh out loud!

    His wife is probably back home for a while and he will get in touch again when she goes away again ;)

    Seriously I've been through the whole internet dating lark and there are so many people like this out there who you think you get on well with and then it turns into nothing. I wouldnt think about it too much and keep looking about still if you know what I mean.

    Oh and by the way I'm engaged to my 'internet dater' and we plan to get married next year.

  • From my personal experience of web-dating... stop using email and phone one another.

    Ah, going to keep his name a secret, just incase he is for real LOL.

    I tend to agree with the phone thing, and I eventually I will suggest it but the e-mails are so funny and cheer me up at the end of a long day I would miss them. I also have found that some men just can't chat, and it all goes off the boil when we move from writing to talking, let alone dating.

    I have made it on to four dates so far and a few calls but not really clicked with anyone, although the last one after just one date isn't really taking no for an answer - had flowers etc this morning, even though he hasn't been in touch for about three weeks, think he is harmless though, just a little inappropiate.

    Meeting people on the internet is great when it works - I met my husband in a chatroom 6 and a half years ago - we got married two years ago!

    Don't give up!

    OK - we have today exchanges numbers but I can't ring him for a couple of days as I am away for the weekend - this is the bit I hate I get so nervous and I am so different from his previous girlfriends and he is so different from my ex's that it will probably go down hill quickly from here on in, oh well it was fun well it lasted.
