Internet dating - What should I do?

I met this great guy on a dating site. He seemed very very interested. At the end of date he asked for a second date. We met again, had dinner and I had to leave soon after. He wanted to kiss me but I let him kiss me on the cheek only. He asked when he could see me again. I said call me. Then he never called. A week later he e-mailed me and complimented me on my new pictures I posted on the dating site. He said they were very good and intimidating. I e-mailed back saying "are you intimidated to call me?" and here is what he responded:





"You are intimidating. I wish you were a bit warmer or affectionate so I felt more confident. It is not you. however, it is me. I am not used to so beautiful a woman. It is natural I feel this way. Your pictures are something most men dream of but realize they have no hope of obtaining. Please understand. I mean nothing negative."





What do you think? What should I do?

It may not necessarily be that he has slow self-esteem. Guys do tend to be intimidated by women that are beautiful or intelligent. If you're not out there and open about everything, then it makes them even more intimidated of you.





He got a date with you, but you weren't all over him and letting him kiss you, so he got freaked out a little bit. If you're still interested in him, just reply to his e-mail, and tell him that you did really like him. Just tell him that you're not going to be very affectionate with someone you've just met in person. Tell him not to be intimidated - that you'd like to go out again.





Good luck!
Reply:This guy sounds like a very needy person, always asking to see you again after the end of the previous date.


Doesnt sound like he has a life of his own.





His email response shows that he is making an excuse to not see you by convincing himself that he isnt worthy of you.


If you notice, he is cutting himself down, he isnt saying it isnt working out because of indifferences....he isnt saying anything negative to you, he is too busy saying negative stuff about himself.





Definitely needy, low self-esteem and low self-confidence in himself.


He isnt a keeper....move on to men that act like actual men.
Reply:The guy you met on the internet lacks self confidence and has low self esteem. There is nothing you can do about that! You are only as intimidating as someone chooses to be intimidated by you. Yes, you are a very beautiful girl, but even without knowing you I'm sure there are things about you that you are not confident about and could be intimidated also. Part of the problem with internet dating is that the primary vehicle for choosing a partner is a picture and that is usually far from the "whole picture".


Just like in any search for a good relationship choose partners that don't define your potential by how you look today.
