I find it suspicious that he solicits info from you, but isn't forthcoming, himself. He seems guarded. I would lose this character ASAP. Block him if you can.

Yes, that annoys me too, especially if they ask if you've met anyone else or had a date or something.

I can't speak for all guys, but I usually do this just for practice.


Sometimes, I will mess things up with a woman on accident and then see if I could get her back. With other women, I'm not really interested, but they are giving me a hard time and I want to see if I could make them around. I figure if I get good at doing this, then I could easily do it with women that I'm actually interested in.


Right now, for example, I messed up the seduction of a woman. So, now, I text her every few days to a week with things that I know she likes. We have the same social circle so I do see her out and I make sure to dote on her when I see her. To be honest, I'm not disinterested in this woman, but I'm not sold either. I'm on the fence due to a few different factors.


Typically, if a girl tells me outright to go away, then I'll go away (like an "I'm not interested" text, for example). Anything other than this is fair game in my opinion.


And I'm not one that is affected much by rejection.

He keeps messaging you because you keep replying...
His motivations could be many things, but only the above stands true.

Online dating is stupid and doesn't work. You sound very young and inexperienced. As likely is he.

Most of the time it leads nowhere because people don't know themselves or what they are looking for. I am a very clear cut to the chase type guy and know what I like. So I don't have interactions like these. Then again I am over 30 years old and have life experience. When I was 16 I had pointless conversations with Women online all the time. Some of them led me to constructive activity in the bedroom while most did not.

Old thread...but...

Keeping his options open. You're Plan C in case the other girls he's chasing say no. I'd probably ignore this unless I truly liked him as a friend and was glad to keep chatting that way, knowing in advance that if he then had a lonely night and drunk-texted me, I'd be shooting the idea down. Nicely.

If he's been talking to you for a ''Couple of months'' and hasn't made a date, cut bait.

That's way too long to go without a date after initiating contact, assuming that you live within a fairly reasonable (like not hundreds of miles away) distance from each either. I would see that as turning into a ''Phoneship'' or a pen pal and toss him.

As a guy who has done this, when initiated first, I usually just want to be friends...aka not interested in dating romantically.

Have had this happen before when someone I went on 1-4 dates with and I'm not interested but they are great friends, I just talk to them as friends.

Most of the time, I think the women just want "some". I don't mind giving, but don't want a relationship. I'm closing in on 50, don't want kids and don't want drama.

OP, sounds like he is just a friend and not real interested. Probably thinks about you every once in a while and wants to just say hi.

If a guy is interested, he'd probably be texting/calling often(every day).

Just how I see it anyway.
