A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I just started talking to a guy online that I met through a dating website. We talk almost every day (he contacts me through IM or email), but he talks to me like I'm just a friend. I have flirted with him a bit, but he doesn't respond at all to my flirtatious comments.

Is he nervous/unsure or are we just friends?

Could be he wants to take things slowly and is nervous or there could be any number of reasons.

There are some men out there who never actually want to meet up, even after months or years. So if you want to meet, suggest it and see what he says, so you are not wasting a lot of time wondering.

Danielepew agony auntI think he might want to be sure of what he's doing. So, as Irish said, at this moment he wants to be friends. Maybe it's best if you wait a little. Some of us don't like to be pushed into relationships.

If he's talking to you every day, then it's safe to state he likes your company. However you have to be careful with dating sites...some folks use it just to acquire friends online and never take it the full distance. So I would say, he considers you a friend, nothing more at this stage of the game. Why don't you ask him if you both can meet for a coffee and meet in the 'real world'? See how he responds to that. If he's not responsive to that suggestion, then move on!

I would just come out and ask him. Better to be direct about these things.
