One of the challenges of online dating is knowing when to share things and when to wait.\u00a0 For example, when do you tell someone that you are talking to more than one person?\u00a0 It should be a given – we are all looking and no one should have all their eggs in one basket.\u00a0 But until you actually say it, there’s always that fantasy that you might be the only one.<\/p>\n
I’d been talking to someone for several weeks – we’d even skyped (used webcam\/mic to talk) quite a lot.\u00a0 He lives in Columbia, SC (about 2 hours from here).\u00a0 Neither one of us really had any intention of moving to be closer to the other.\u00a0We both knew it wasn’t a relationship set in the stars.\u00a0I found him extremely fun to type and text with, and enjoyed our late night pillow talk (not the same as cybering – I mean just regular chatting with some heavy flirting thrown in.)<\/p>\n
We had made plans to get together.\u00a0 The first time I had to cancel.\u00a0 The second time he did.\u00a0 The third time was to be this upcoming weekend.\u00a0 Last night he admitted that he’d been on several dates with someone and it was going really well and that he didn’t think we should get together after all because he didn’t want to wreck this good thing he had\u00a0going on.<\/p>\n
Truth be told, I was extremely happy that he had found someone local. I was just surprised that he hadn’t told me before.\u00a0 Then again, I didn’t really tell him in great detail about my friend who keeps visiting and spending the night.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what the answer is – but I still find it interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
