Thanks Barb, your comparisons are very apt. I think it just shows that people are people and will usually take the easy way out of any interaction unless there is a compelling reason not to. That's life. I'm not sweating this one though. We chatted a few times and, as far as I could see, things were going ok...I guess she didn't see it that way. This time round I am listening to my gut and I'm not desperate to be in a relationship...someone messes with me, I move on. I have always tried to be aware of other people's feelings and maybe that makes me odd in the world of online dating. It's rare to get that in return. She's about the tenth woman I've dealt with in the last two months. I really am a bit tired and find the ups and downs of this process, which can change at the drop of a hat, trying sometimes. One day she's here, next she's gone. You're offered phone numbers and yet never get a reply...weird stuff and once I think I've seen it all....they come up with a new one lol.
