Four dates with 4 different guys in two weeks? I thought the 4 dates were with the same guy. Please disregard my lame initial response to you as I obviously did not understand the full situation. I am all for the pursuit of love but I gave you very poor advice and for that I am sorry. I am starting to believe myself that I am indeed out of my ever loving mind as someone posted to me. I will be OK after I drink more coffee.

Hugging/holding hands, then cuddling, then kissing. There needs to be some time for this progression, otherwise you're rushing it.

Lets review the facts here.
1) these men pursued me not vice versa
2) desperation is taking anything you can get...which obviously I didnt give into
3) non-of the other men came to my home.
4) this man is from a very small towm near my hometown
5)non of the others where allowed to kiss me.. 1 tried and I pushed him away
6) rural america does things a bit different then big cities do. Towns of 400-800 people are common and social norms are differnt.
7) at the time of the date there were three other people in the building 2 of which are men that are over 6 feet and 200 pounds
Your conclusion is not self evident. What is your point? That you behavior was perfectly acceptable when the majority opinion here is that it was not? That any guy who asks can get a date with you but that doesn't make you desperate because the guys are still the ones doing the pursuing? By the way if you send the first message, you are the initiator plain and simple. That because you live in rural America you can ignore basic wisdom of how to keep yourself from being taken advantage of by a smarmy (or worse) guy? I get the whole out in the rural areas there aren't a whole lot of places to go besides each other's homes, but that doesn't make it any smarter to bring a first date that you have only interacted with online to your home. You asked for our advice and I think the consensus is in and the consensus is that you behaved very foolishly and will be fortunate if he disappears out of your life, much worse has happened to people who were not wise about meeting online acquaintances.

Well when I asked him his intentions he told me he would like to get to know me and go from there ;) I have also told him that I wanted to take things slowly.
Trust me, there was nothing slow about what you were doing. It's actually laughable that you that you would think inviting a guy over to your place to kiss and cuddle before ever meeting him in a public setting is even in the 'slow' category. You have a very liberal definition of 'slow' if this is the case.

i don't think desperation is only "taking anything you can get". i think desperation is:

+ allowing your desire for companionship to compromise your ability to recognize a "good catch" from a "so-so or bad catch"

+ allowing the dating thing become an extraordinary focus of your emotional energies

+ failing to have good expectations for the manner in which you both should treat each other

+ understanding the difference between being "very attractive and a good conversationalist" and understanding your worth and identity as a beloved daughter of the Almighty.

i'm not calling you desperate, really. i am just wanting to point out that it appears that your pursuit of a relationship has more significance/filling a need for you that i don't believe you're aware of. just a thought.

out of curiosity, have you ever had any positive or successful dating or relationship experiences? are you new to dating in general?

Hum....love means different things to different people. I like someone who is a bit coy and playful. If I can figure out what a man is all about the mystique is gone for me. I dont mean in an imature playing games sort of way...but there behaviour has to be such that it keeps me on my toes. And if there is no passion or attraction it makes it even worse. When younger i thought my drive for excitement was the sole reason i was still single. I tried to settle for a man who I had no passion for and we had no chemistry. As I havr gotten older I know realize that chemistry is a critical element of a relationship.


Chemistry is good, I agree but this guy sounds like he wants one thing, or two things sex and money. My advice, forget about him

Also why argue when you asked for opinions? If that's the case don't ask just do what you want.

Oh my!

a) (1) Where you online expecting nothing? The more a person exposes the more he / she could be preyed.

b) (2) What do cooks are used to when steaming things? If I don´t want to cook, I never would use that stuff (stove).

c) (3) Each knows what is wanted or expected... That was good! Too RISKY though. There are too many type of wirdoes (and freaks)

d) (4) It doesn´t matter the distance. For a preyer, the farthest, the better. For a lover, one who wants to be married, the easiest way to pay visits, but still being risky.

e) (5) That´s way you misssed him...

f) (6) Rurals and city people have their own rules nowadays. If you were in a jungle, things would be the same.

z) (7) would that save and spare you daring life? There was a time when I was walking with one of my brother and a lady I don´t know approached me and kissed me in the mouth... The kept on walking together while she grabbed me and stayed tagged along. Meanwhile my brother tried to ask me who she was (and I could tell him quickly) and, the very moment she moved 1/2 a meter to greet more people we encountered I asked my brotherm to go:

"Are you leaving that nice looking girl alone?"

Let´s go! -I said- I don´t know who she is...

These days, when my brother called me to pay him a visit, he also reminded me he felt unconfortable (and jealous) when someone I didn´t know came to hug me and kiss me, in the middle of the street.

It was nice! but I don´t know who she was... When accepting that kiss I endangered to get those STDs that are transmitted by the mouth, btw. :eek:

Seems the large majority of new users on CC who immediately post asking opinions on situations are not Really after advice, as they claim, but justification for what they are doing.

or advice that fits inside of their expected world view, validation, or pure encouragement rather than constructive feedback.

in my opinion, a LOT of people fish for advice and feedback that is pretty rich with intention and expected outcome.

i.e. "does this make me look fat?" ; p

I met this guy on an online dating site. We chatted fir two weeks. I sent the first message to him but he pursued and initiated there after. He often got a little steamy in his messages and I reciprocated playfully. One night he asked for my number and to add him to facebook. I did. Couple days later we met at the park and watched a movie at my house. We cuddles and kissed. I sent him a txt the next say saying I had fun and would love to do it again some time. He was always very aggressive and strait forward online. When we met he wasnt very talkative at all and seemed shy. The next day he removed me frim his facebook and I havent herd from him since. This was Monday night and it is now Friday. What did I do wrong? He kind of illuded to the fact he was waiting for a paycheck to "take me out" is there still hope he will contine to purse? If he does decide to pursue again how do I not mess up again? Men and women please respond...but men what is he thinking?
Fantasy is often more exciting than the real thing. It's nothing personal, just a risk of on-line dating.
