writes:First off I am new to online dating. I met someone about 7 weeks ago, things seem like they are going good. We spend a lot of time together and he tells me he likes me and is affectionate. After a couple weeks I took my profile off cuz I am really interested in where this could go, and I guess as a gesture I only wanted to see him. On the other hand, he is still active on his profile and has even answered others contacting him(my friend wanted to test him which I didn't approve of)never the less she told me that he would have met her for drinks but also admitted that he had met someone, I am assuming me, and that it is was going really good, he just didn't know where it was going yet. It made me happy that he told someone that. I guess what I would like to know is, is this typical for online dating, and should I put my profile back up. I'm so confused. I don't want to seem desperate but I also don't want him to think I am losing interest if I re-post. Reply to this Question

I'm in quite a similar dilemma at the moment, although mine was a little different.
Me and the guy I met online are definitely NOT online dating people, but we're both new to the city and wanted to meet some new people. When we started talking to eachother he told me "well, I guess I don't need this anymore" and deleted his profile, and I did the same thing.
We've been on some AMAZING dates and since I dunno how this whole dating thing works (was in a seriously long term relationship before), I dunno if he is interested in me the way I am.
I think that since you guys have been seeing each other for seven weeks, it'd would be totally okay for you to also date other people. Keep your options open.

 I always say have some sitting on the back burner on a low flame. I.e. keep ur options open..Id keep ur profile up u never know if it's going to work with this guy or not...If u get into a relationship then yeah take it down but if its just the whole dating, getting to know u were not exclusive then heck yes keep that profile up!
