Internet Guys

So since recently, I've been single...my friend convinced me to post a profile up on match.com...needless to say I did it.  And it's very flattering at first...having a bunch of guys email and wink at you.  Too bad me and my girlfriend are cheap asses that won't subscribe to meet guys...I don't know.  Just the thought of having to pay to meet any guys just makes me think that's not right.  But then again, if a hotty comes by, I don't mind subscribing for him...but of course have you seen the guys on match...pretty slim pickins.  Anyways, so you finally get some guys that are smart enough to spell out their email addresses cause match filters the emails and replaces it with their match email.  That's really discouraging for people like me who don't pay..lol.  So I start chatting with some of these guys and some seem nice and sweet, others seem like real jerks and our conversations end.  This one that I'm really confused about is when your chatting with someone and all along you tell the guy that you only want to be friends, you don't date younger guys and don't mind hanging out at friends.  And things seem to be perfectly fine...we get along great on IM and email.  So finally I think it's ok to talk to the guy on the phone.  He seems really nice and just wants to meet friends since he's new here in town.  I don't think of it as a big deal.  So finally I decide to meet him for dinner.  We go to Faultline and he shows up with some flowers...this is so sweet.  So we have dinner and it's cool...we seem to be getting along great.  He ends up paying for dinner and says I can't pay cause he invited me out and it's an insult...so I let him pay.  Anyways, we go to a movie and it's cool...he seems like someone I don't mind hanging out with and becoming friends with...anyways, since then...he's IMed me and I just wanted to make sure that he knows we're just friends...cause to me...that's not what friends do (bring flowers and all).  And he said he was cool with that...but since then...we've barely talked...is he lying?  Did he want more?  Who knows...maybe I'm reading into this too much and we'll become good friends...and in that case...this entry will eventually be deleted.  Guys should just tell the truth!

omg you got a blog! yay! I think he thought you were just saying that to protect the both of you but secretly hoped you'd drop the "just friends" front after he wined and dined you and impressed you with flowers. I guess when you reiterated it, it might have disappointed him.

He probably thought you were shy or careful and was hoping he could slowly impress you and win you over. awee.. how romantic, too bad he's younger.

maybe he's behaving consistently with being "just friends"! i have a really bad habit of disappearing on my "just friends" for periods on end (especially when i'm staying in east bay and everyone else is peninsula or silicon valley'ish). hmm ... now i feel guilty.

Who cares? If he doesn't want to be your friend, then forget him. There are TONS of other "slim pickin's" for you to turn your attention to on Match.com, right?

Heck, or you could get drunk at a bar again and smile and say hi to a guy.

it's difficult to meet a new guy or girl and just be friends, especially if they are attracted to you. We're so busy with our lives these days, why would we invest time to get to know someone of the opposite sex if we're told it wouldn't go anywhere? Wouldn't we rather invest in someone that could lead to a relationship or really good sex?

Well that's stupid. Lots of people out there just want to make friends...why would you rule out a good friendship just cause they are of the opposite sex. My previous point was...then don't meet up for dinner if you want more than a friendship especially if the girl already says all she wants is a friendship!

Well Mr Anonymous 2, you are right...and just like I kinda thought...he did resurface. He just doesn't chat the same as he did before. Oh well...like I said, we'll just have to see.

I guess you probably noticed that his conversations have those now-I-know-you-won't-put-out tone to them, eh?

Interesting twist that these comments have taken on. I've been inspired to a new blog topic (next week).
