I met a guy online.

All good, we really liked each other, hit it off, etc. All good. Great, in fact.

He has a small daughter once a fortnight so I was seeing him Sunday night after he dropped her off.

Fine.

Until the weekend when he didn't have his daughter (MY weekend, in my head) and he didn't call.

Nothing until Sunday when I got an sms complaining about his hangover.

Overlooked it this time.

Saw him Sunday.

My weekend rolls around...nothing again, till Sunday morning when he text me some crap about getting together.

My reply...I don't think so
His reply....are you feeling unloved?
My reply...No.
His reply....I know you're falling in love with me
My reply...
His reply...come on you have to go slow for a long term thing
My reply....sorry but getting together once a fortnight just isnt enough, i need a bit more than that
His reply...don't be silly, I still like you
My reply....
His reply....don't forget you owe me $20
My reply...I know
His reply...good, sweet lips ()
Next morning(today) from him...Why don't you like me any more?

At no stage did the fool pick up the phone and speak to me. All conducted via sms.

Before you ask, he's 40.

Is this insane, or what?

Personally I think this guy you're dating is a bit childish.

He throws the "I know you're falling in love with me" line out to try to lure you over.

Then he tosses out the you owe me money thing. Like OK there's a time and place for that, but not during this conversation.

And from the snippet of the relationship you've given us it seems like he's just using you for sex. You might not care about that, but he not wanting to see you but once a week or 2 kinda tells me that he doesn't care all that much about you or your feelings.

You can tell me how much of that is wrong, but that's my first impressions.

Well, you don't need us to tell you to move, on, right?
40 is the new 20, haven't you heard?
Better luck next time, but... don't hold your breath. It is online dating after all...

I don't know why you bothered to reply at all. Sounds like he's only interested in talking to you on Sunday after his weekend is over.

As you know, it was mutual

But I discovered I need a little bit more than that.

Back to the whoring board...
