Guys, I'm not a big fan of online dating and I usually don't do it because there's just too many crazy and fake people out there. However, about a month ago, while sitting there bored one day, I decided to take a chance and post something on Craig's List personals site. Now, based on prior adventures that I pursued just for fun, in my experience, many people on Craig's List are very fake-not genuine at all, flakes.
But this one woman emailed me back and our communication has been kinda weird. She sent me "her picture" and all, but then, I would often sit for weeks without hearing back from her. Uusally, our communication has been something along the lines of one email every 3-4 weeks and I told her I couldn't communicate on such a slow pace anymore. She said she works 60 hours a week and takes classes, so she doesn't always find enough time to get on the computer. She won't give me her number, won't call mine and often responds after weeks of silence when I'm not expecting to hear from her. Now, my heart isn't into it and I'm not taking her seriously, but her last response to my questions of concern were:
"Sorry it took me so long to write back. I have been very busy with the recent purchase of my home."
I'm starting to think this is a woman who probably isn't very happy with her marriage or committed relationship and sees me as a temporary, occasional distraction from her everyday life. If a woman were serious about communicating with a guy she met online, she'd do everything possible to make time no matter how busy she claims to be. Anyway, I just thought it was a story worth sharing and it's a good thing I'm not putting my heart into it.
