Oh, I think the IDEA of the webcam probably got him going a bit. And then when he knew I was chatting with somebody else - with my webcam on - I suspect it kicked in a little competitiveness (although I didn't tell him who I was chatting with - for all he knew it could have been my Aunt Hattie!).
I don't expect a guy to chat with me while he's working - in fact I assumed that was probably the case, until later that evening when I saw he was on the dating site but still hadn't said hi to me. I wasn't upset or anything - simply took it as a sign that he wasn't all that interested (frankly, I'm not sure if I am or not). I DO know that one thing I liked about the East Coast guy, was that he reminded me what it's like when a guy is really INTO you. And I'm trying to hold out for that.
I just thought it was funny and predictable that when I was seeming so un-anxious to talk with him, he suddenly calls me Princess.
I'll probably give him a chance - at least see what he shows me about himself. But I think obviously it would be a good strategy to NOT be too available. Which, since yesterday I was off the computer entirely and didn't get home until 2 a.m., was very easy to do. We did chat briefly this afternoon but then I had to go to Costco with my mom.
(I went out to a punk show with my 38 year old singer friend - she's a hoot. All the guys were younger but you know what? I didn't feel like I stood out as an old lady or anything - that was nice )
When I DID get home, I quickly went online to check my messages (old boyfriend's daughter had her baby yesterday, she and I are close). And my way, way too young guy was on and wanted to chat by Skype - so didn't get to sleep until three a.m. after talking with him. (Sigh - I wish HE was 20 years older, he's so totally my type.)
