I met a guy through FB and we started playing Words with Friends. During our first game, we chatted so much that we broke the game. We moved over to texting and on three separate days we texted for 7 hours straight and chatted on and off via text the rest of the days. We made plans to meet that weekend. We've never met in person before.

The guy told me he was "very interested" in me and that he "probably wouldn't be able to keep his hands off me" if we met. It turns out he had to work the day we were supposed to meet (and I believe him due to the nature of his work), but he hasn't rescheduled and he hasn't texted me since.

That was 6 days ago. HOWEVER, he keeps commenting on all my posts on FB and "poking" me and "liking" everything I post. I'm still interested in him, tho his behavior is weird. My friends say to leave it alone, and I'm leaning and that direction, but wanted more opinions first.

What do you all think?

He sounds creepy. Say's he wouldn't be able to keep his hands off you if you met...Not a good sign..He sounds possessive and strange. I wouldn't contact him again. Seems very needy.

Just to play devil's advocate (which I'm playing in my mind), you don't think it sounds like I'm coming on too strong? Like, if he wanted to contact me, wouldn't he have done so already?

well, after we had been talking for a while, we sort of asked the other where we both stood in terms of feelings. So I kinda asked him to be honest with me about that. Does that change your opinion of him being possessive and strange at all? If not, can you elaborate on why, if you have the time?


The reason I'm asking all these questions is that I haven't *seriously* dated in 8 years, and I'm a little lost.

Sounds like the gentleman is extremely excited about the prospect of meeting you but i'd suggest your first meeting take place in a public setting with lots and lots of people around. Just saying!

DO NOT call him - big mistake.

Im a big fan of women calling men. To often we try to play the chase game and lost out on decent guys. Chances are he is just online flirty and it never goes past it. But there could be other reasons too, so just call him.

Oh come on. I get the impression that someone like Davros or Jobaba (all nice guys with very little experience) will do something similar out of pure excitement. Dont get me wrong, she should definitely be on alert but he hasnt completely set off the creep-o-meter. What do you think?

Why do you think that? Can you elaborate? Not that I disagree, I'm just curious as to your reasoning.

He's rushing things to fast. That can be a sign of neediness and possessiveness. You can't truly be into someone that quick. He just seems to be moving to fast,-smothering like. From viewing life, these types of people seem to be controlling and possessive. I wouldn't want a girl I just met to say that to me. It would kind of scare me off, unless of course I was just looking for some quick fun and nothing else..I can't completely explain it; hence, sometimes it's just the things that we can't quite put our finger on but our intutition tells us something isn't right. Something seems wrong. He's definately needy..I know it feels good since it's been 8 years, but he doesn't sound healthy. Just my take.
