It is just me, or does anyone else find it flat out bizarre that this guy is already getting mad and moody with his potential date, while this gal is already angsting about what he does with his dating profile WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER MET OR SPOKEN ON THE PHONE.

It also baffles me why anyone would even consider a long distance relationship with a person who is too busy to even set up a first date.

Why do people do this to each other? I don't get it at all.

The answer is, he is a stranger and it's none of your business why he hid his profile.

It is not just you.

It is none of your business why he hid his profile. You are not exclusive. He is contacting you less and he is "busy." You haven't met, so how are you defining chemistry? Move on. If he plans a meeting and you want to meet, that's your call. Until them, chill.

Well, this is why I'm wondering if she is already being pushy. Because his reaction sounds irritated or overwhelmed.

I think it is equally weird that sight unseen, she has already demanded conformation that he is "into this." Another reason I wonder if she is acting just a bit too pushy in all this.

Meanwhile she is wondering about confronting him about his site status.

All this without ever having met him.

Either he's cheating and therefore is nervous about all the scrutiny and getting irritated, or he is just a normal guy who is nervous about all the scrutiny and getting irritated. IMO.

Well I once asked a guy I knew online if he deleted his profile, just cause I wanted to know why and didn't get "stalker alert" vibes from him. We haven't even met so it's not like a terrible question to ask or answer.

OP why is it your business that he deleted his profile? You don’t know each other. Maybe I am weird but I don’t expect strangers to give me the motivations for their decisions. It is not my business and they owe me nothing.

I have mentioned more than once that I feel this may be the case *on top of* other possessive style things she has said/indicated.

Yeah, you didn't get stalker vibes as *you* were doing the asking...right? Isn't that the opposite of the OP's situation?

Sigh. Yeah, OP, to ahead and ask. Good luck and I hope it all works out.

He may not have been ready to hide it but did it to make someone else happy but still is keeping in contact with the others he has already been talking to.

Well just ask him if you wanna know why. He may not be honest with his reasons but you can probably figure out from his answer.
