Well, it’s hard for me to pity you. I read your posts and I’ve seen your profile.
Will the guy contact you again? Sure, if he’s not a complete moron.

Seriously though, come back when you have real dating problems.
When come back, bring dating problems?
I can has dating problems? ::d+r::
All your dating problems are belong to us.
They set us up the date!
Is it can be dating problems tiem now plees?
Have you emailed him at that address before? Or were you mailing via okcupid?
This is why I hate spam with the fire of a million suns - it makes good folks lose good emails to spam filters sometimes.
You could very well spend ages wondering “wtf?” when really, you just got lost in a spam trap, never to be seen again!!!
Call him next weekend if you don’t hear from him. Do not rely on email getting through.
(there, do you feel more pitiful now?)
Yes. So if I don’t hear back, it’s because I repulse him, not because his spam filter hates me.
I’m new here so I hope I’m not being too forward. Some of you seem to know each other quite well
I agree that he’s probably just waiting to answer, not wanting to appear too eager. You’ll hear from him, I believe.
Regarding your email, it seemed just a touch too eager to please. I understand wanting to clear the air about the comment you made regarding his company, but the
might make him pause.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think you made some horrible faux pas…just a slight suggestion to keep it light at first. Often guys complain that women overthink things. Since you’re still very much in that getting-to-know-you phase, best to let him know you’re not overtly sensitive.
Be sure to let us know when you hear back!
twickster, m’dear, first, a disclaimer: I say this with all the love possible for a virtual friend.
There is a place where billions of stars reside in close proximity. That place is the center of the universe. That is not you.
Give the man a chance to live the other parts of his life. Let whatever might happen develop in its own good time.
Remember, the best you should hope for at this stage, is a new friend.
Careful what you wish for there, bucko.
As for the actual problem, it could be that he’s all caught up trying to craft The Perfect Reply and taking a while. I’ll admit that I would often take a day or two longer than I should have, back when I was doing the online-dating thing. (But, hey, it’s in the process of working out for me!)
Aw, kitties! Maybe he iz ded from cute?
Seriously though, give him a few days. And if you don’t hear from him in a few days, that just means that he had profound emotional problems that you’re better off not having to deal with in a few months.
Hey. I’ve never had dating problems.
… of course, I’ve never dated. I don’t even understand how it works. I just… meet people. Some I never talk to again, some become friends, some go further. It seems to work fine with Canadians and Australians, but I got the impression that people from the southern USA felt differently, as if dating and relationships between opposide genders were more formalized and ritualized down there. Of course, it may just be an anomaly. I’d like to know if it’s a cultural thing, maybe.
(Sorry for hijacking the thread. It looks like twickster’s problems have been solved though.)
A-freakin’-men!
Resume self-pity.
Yeah, I’ve had trouble making dating a real formal thing. I was thinking about this the other night: almost everyone I’ve “dated”, I had sex with before we ever went on what anyone could call a “date”. Whenever I’ve tried to do it the other way around, it’s backfired.
Well, has he written or called?
She said it was a charming rendition. Wordy Girl came up with something faaaabulous, I’m sure.
See Post #10 and judge for yourself.
Just got home (dinner and a concert – Jean-Luc Ponty, Stanley Clarke, and Al Dimeola – with a friend) – no word yet.
{and picnurse, whaddya mean, I’m not the center of the universe? pout}
I’ll be checking back in on this thread tomorrow to see what happens! Hang in there, twickster!
I recently sent email to a friend I’d met through an online game (we spent a week together in July)… and then had to hunt him down on our guild’s VoIP program because, you see, he never checks the email with which he’s registered with the guild. He hasn’t been playing much lately.
The next step was telling his sister “yo! tell that idiot brother of yours he’s got mail!”
