Are you for real here? I think you need a break from boys what with all the neurotic business.

8 HOURS? C'mon!!

Ever consider the guy may be not able to communicate for 8 hours for a good reason? The guy could be working (I'm a former second shift worker myself and 3-11 is a very common shift), may be knocking out early after a hard day.

OP, I'm sorry, if I knew a woman was going this crazy over a few hours of no contact, I grade her certified crazy and break it off.

OP, do you realize how crazy this sounds? Sometimes I've gone for days with no contact with someone I've been dating - it's just dating. Maybe they are busy, who knows. Do you expect someone to have a constant back and forth text conversation going all the time?

I think you should get a hobby other than texting guys you meet online.

Back to your original question. I don't know how old you are or if you look young/old. But I'm guessing that at some point in these conversations it comes up you pretty much just like to hang out at the mall and you want to keep talking for awhile before meeting. I wonder how many of these guys read/hear this and immediately think you are underage and want nothing to do with that? (Guys, would this cross your mind?)

If there were no movement toward a face-to-face meeting after a week I would lose the phone number and move on.

Yes I do because before me and the guy would talk all day and all night and then they stop? Why break the routine if we talked all day and night for like 3 days straight? And yeah I don't know what he's doing if I don't hear from him for 8 or 10 hours but come on if I was busy for that amount of time I can send the person a quick text.

And also I have had friends just sit on their butts not doing anything and yet they could contact me so.

Because he was texting you all day and all night for three days straight and realized you had NO interest in meeting him. I'd stop too.

Well whats wrong with hanging at the mall? You want me to say I hang at the bar and strip clubs? That could be a turn off to guys its possible.

I am not underage I am 25 and this guy is willing to take things slow. What if him and I talked once or twice and then I don't hear from him for the rest of that week, how could we then meet if we haven't spoke?
