Question - (24 January 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 25 January 2012)
A age 41-50, * writes:

After our second date he texted me and made plans,but since he was out of town on business, he didn't confirm our third date and it never happened. Now that he's back, but to another state..he texted me and emailed me apologising and explaining why he couldn't keep in touch. He said he'll come to town in 2 weeks' time and would like to see me more.. I told him not to contact me by mobile because I'm simply not a phone person that's why he started emailing me and such. Anyhow, how long should I wait before I email him back given his email was relatively cold and reserved in comparison to the other emails we've exchanged. I want to get to know him better and give him a chance, and maybe ask him to phone me again, it's OK, but then again I don't know wether he's just confused of my mixed signals , afraid of rejection or not into me to begin with?! I'm going through tough times since I lost my dad shorly before X-mas. Help agony aunts x

Denise32 agony auntSorry to hear about the loss of your father. That's really hard!

First, I advise you not to try too much to read this man's mind! I mean: You asked him not to contact you by phone, so he sent both an email AND a text to apologize for not being able to set up a third date since he was out of town on a business trip - hardly something you could "blame" him for - and said he wants to see more of you. He MIGHT have been a tad more formal becauseof your comment about not being a phone person, but the thing is: do you want to see him again or don't you?

If you do, send him an email and tell him you'd enjoy going out somewhere with him!

I don't think you are giving mixed signals. He never bothered to keep in touch when it's so simple to just send an email or text. No one is that busy! BTW, I wouldn't instruct any man how to communicate with you. Most gentlemen who are interested in you WILL pick up the phone to call you and most certainly won't leave you hanging wondering if you have a date or not!!
