My online dating partner has gone cold

I don't understand men. I was contacted by this great guy off of an internet dating site. He always said the right things, like how great I looked and he really tried to get to know me and took great pleasure in making me laugh and have fun. We have been out on three dates. After our third date we were talking online and he suggested that the next time we go out he would like to include my children. Needless to say I was pretty excited about this because most of the men I have met don't seem interested in getting to know them.

He told me a few day later that he had to go up north for six weeks to complete a job. He had mentioned this to me in the past and said he would keep in touch. Here is the problem. He says he is staying at his ex-wife's house....that they are just friends. He has been gone for three weeks and I have recieved only a couple of emails from him. The last one was 10 days ago.

He once told me that when he was dating someone he made it a point not to talk to other people online. When men say they have no interest in a past love or marriage is this just a defense thing. I am just wondering if he is getting close to his ex or busy working. Do you think he is ignoring me because he has hooked up with his ex. Why do men say things that they don't mean... Thanks for any advice you can give me...

I would have to say he is most likely caught up working. I don't really know how close him and his ex are but obivously they didn't work and he expresses an interest in you. Guys aren't as emotional as us women are which can always be a hard factor to deal with. At least he has been sending you emails and keeping in contact with you. At least you then know that he is still thinking about you and wants to talk with you. He work life may just be busy and when he gets a chance he will call. Don't worry about his ex that's in the past. Live in the future and if goes back with his ex it probaly wasen't meant to be in the first place.
