One of the most valuable advices I ever got in my life:

If a man wants you, you will know. And if he is really interested - he would make sure no one else snatches you - so he will make it known and he will put in effort to make it happen.

wishy-washy = he is not that interested.

He's on his best behavior right now. Imagine what torture it will be to arrange a date six months from today.


Basic communication is a courtesy, one that grownups understand.

Hello All,

I am a mid life female, I have dated a lot in my past and had a few short term relationships. I have reached the point in life where I don't really want to date lots of men, have meaningless relationships... I've had plenty of those.

I need a man that does not confuse me. Due to my sensitive nature and need to try and work things out until it drives me mad I simply must have dealings with men who are clear.

The problem is there doesn't seem to be many like that. I am interested in a man who I've enjoyed flirting and chatting to as a friend for nearly a year in a group I am in, we went on a date a few weeks ago. He didn't get in touch after and when I saw him at the group I mentioned that I hadn't heard from him, how was he. He said 'I knew you were busy and you like your space'.

I think 'I knew you were busy' really means 'I don't know if you like me and I was too scared to contact you because I don't want to look stupid/like a loser?'

I don't really like men like this who are fearful especially when I've been clear that I liked him on the date (told him) and think I will quickly lose attraction for him soon.

We have another date arranged, he suggested the place and I unfortunately had to 'fix' the dates as I sent him a few dates when I was free and he didn't respond. I feel like I've 'forced' the date slightly although he suggested it initially.

How much time do you give these men? Another few dates to show they can take action. I'm not the sort of woman who wants to chase a man. I thought I would do the second date then take stock. I don't want to cut off a potentially good thing but I'm losing patience.
If it just comes easy, no frustration, no BS you will know. This is not it.
