This is Why I Don't Date

Frankly, it's because of people like this: So I meet this guy online and we're both into each other. Similar interests, attractive to one another, etc. I suggest lunch since he lives right near my job. So we meet. He actually says "you're cute, good." Fine with me. I'm all for displays of relief. I'm extremely atttracted to him. When we leave we have serious flirtation and I say (old fashioned me) "Can I call you." He says yes, I would really like that, etc., etc. So I text him that night and he texts me back (who's this?) I text him who I am and he's happy. I email him and tell him I was jacking off thinking of all the things I want to do to him. He says "like what?" so I tell him. Then three weeks ago (about a week after we met) I tell him I want to see him. He tells me he's at his friend's apartment who's away and the person is getting cable put in, etc. OK. Fine. Then I go to Phillie and email him when I get back. No answer. So I wait a week and email him again, casual. Then a day or two later I notice him on a chat site...so I write him and say all friendly like: Hey, I'm beginning to feel like "you're just not that into me" which is cool I'm a big boy can handle rejection :-) I'm starting to feel like a schmuck sending you unanswered emails." He write back and says "Hey, you are not a schmuck and I am at my parents in ??? (some cold state)" Hardly a ringing endorsement. Why can't he just come out and say it? This is why I prefer sex to conversation with my partners...the more I know you the less I like you.
