  • I think if you start following him round the websites messaging him you need to ask yourself why would he be interested in the archetypal bunny boiler?

    I don't think there's any reason to assume he isn't telling the truth, there are lots off young male junior docs out there who haven't got the social skills required to meet women in real life, and contrary to popular belief nurses aren't usually desperate to hook a doctor!

    I agree with j.e.j, I don't think he's lying or married but I'm afraid I don't think he's interested. I'd just let it go and move on to other possibilities.

    I agree. I know some doctors that have struggled to meet the right people and/or a relationship hasn't worked out for whatever reason and they're on the market again. They're people just like the rest of us, just doing a very stressful job.

    Lol, rather than 'follow him', I was already on the site, he 'Liked' me and then sent me a message, but don't let the facts get in the way...

    I'd probably send a reply from the second saying that he already has your email - I wouldn't pursue it any further than that and I wouldn't explain. If he is interested he'd check back.

    I got the impression he'd initiated contact on the second website...

    Lol. You googled to check he might be a doctor! You are on the verge of stalking him.

    Got to agree with some of the other posters if he was interested he would have been in contact..ignore him move on and find someone who cant wait to message you and meet and dont waste another second on him

    Googling takes all of 5 seconds, it's hardly stalking. If it was someone you met down a bar, you might ask mutual friends about them to get a general idea of whether they're a decent person, any warnings, etc. - online dating, you have Google right at your fingertips.

    Well if I went on many posters opinions, he may well have been a tree surgeon?! Not that there's anything wrong with tree surgeons. Can't win, can you eh?

    I think you are all barking up the wrong tree second guessing whether he is married, lying about his profession etc.

    The key thing is this guy sent the OP a message thru a second dating site without realising he'd already made contact with her elsewhere. This just smacks of a guy who is playing the oneline dating field, possibly for sex or maybe just the buzz of female attention.

    OP you gave him an opportunity to meet and he hasn't responded. Maybe send him a cheeky reminder on the second site that he ought to keep tabs on what women he's already contacted!

    Then just leave it, plenty more fish in the sea.

    He's probably a 'catfish' ! Does anyone watch that programme?
