sooo I've been talking to this guy online for about 4 months almost now and well I didnt ever before start any of those online relationships cause I didnt believe in them, but then he came, something moved in me, you know this feeling when you feel like someone is the one cause of all the characteristics you like in a guy and he has them all? well that happened, I started to like him, he said he likes me to and thinks about me. when we met we really talked so many nights till mornings, he came from army and he didnt have a job yet, so we could do that, we had fun, he said I made him happy and mile whenever he talked to me, but when I asked him if he likes me to he never wanted to define it (he never started online relationships either) and then he got a job, we started talking less and less and when I sent him messages online after awhile he took 2 or 3 days to reply, he said he didnt have time and his usual daily routine is he works till around 6, usually goes sleep, out with friends to dinner or something and then soon he goes to sleep, so even though I found it hard to believe he didnt have time to take 5 min to reply I said I believed him, but one day I had it enough and I told him that and again he told mde he likes me and that I think all wrong, so then after awhile we didnt talk anymore, cause after all this arguing he said what do I want from him and told me he couldnt really love any girl at the moment - he didnt say reasons, but later he told me his ex did that, she cheated on him and even if it was almost 2 years ago he's still insecure about trusting girls again, so we stopped talking for like 20 days, cause well I didnt wanna force something if he didnt want to, I was ready to get over him (or whatever do you do afteru like someone to forget them) and then we started talking again a few days ago when he had some time off cause of holidays, so I asked him again how he felt and he told me he always liked me, just didnt wanna say it, so then we started talking more, we joked around, he sent me some of his pics, showed me his wardrobe...but I dont know...he started working again then and again it started when he didnt reply a day..we had an 'arrangement' a day ago he would take a pic of his hangout spots and he did and then he asked me about me sending a pic and I said I didnt know he wanted one and he said I should already know that then I told him I'll take it another day, he got angry again and told me he doesnt want any and that he wasnt important for me and I told him its not like that and then he had to go sleep. so really, I dont know what to do here, he's a pisces and I'm a capricorn, he's shy, I am, but I dont think he knows that cause I never showed it, but he knows I love his shyness, he doesnt like to talk much at first, im same, he isnt really good at expressing feelings, neither am i and also theres this thing, he doesnt really ask much, most of the time I ask and talk and once I sent him a list of questions he then took days saying he'll answer me and then he said he accidentally deleted them, so later I didnt resend them, but he answered some later on and he asked me a few too...I wanna ask you mylotter ladies what do you think about all this and what would u do in my situation, have u ever been in a situation like this with any online relationship? am I doing anything wrong here? what should I do? its like I dont know if I should go on or just leave it all and forget about him...he tells me he wants to be with me and I tell him he should visit me then he tells me I should convince him, well I understand that he maybe is still nsecure and wants to knowme more, but what am I supposed to do when he acts like he cares and like he doesnt at the same time? when I ask questions and he doesnt? i need your inputt so please help ladiess and even men if you are brave enough to talk about this matter from your perspective, I could use any input, male and female :) and im sorry for ranting, but really im put of ideas, i need your help :)

I think if I guy truly likes a person, he would exert extra effort to show this, that's what I would have done. He has to make up his mind and not seem like playing you around. For me, it sounds like he's using your emotions towards him as an advantage to take hold of you. I just think that you should really confront him and ask where he wants this relationship to go, because you might as well just search for someone who likes you and knows how to show it. Just tell him that you are patient but not stupid. I mean, yes he can let you wait, but wait for what exactly? Anyway, I hope I made some points clear here. Good luck!

If you still have time to wait for this thing to mature and develop then I guess it will be okay to wait and see where this would go. I think that it is too early anyway. Still, if his intentions aren't directly clear yet, that could be dangerous. I just hope you don't get yourself into a mess. Good luck!

It is hard to know someone's emotions and thoughts through email and things like that. You need to physically talk to them and be in their presence. Long distance relationships are possible but they take a lot of work. I Dont know what to say because of that. You dont know if hes telling the truth or not. Ask him if it would be possible to try something more, like talking on the phone or video chat sometimes and see how he responds.

thanks for your input, but its like he would hardly agree to that since we're not yet at that stage where we would be ready to talk oveer phone, caue even now its getting harder to communicate cause as I said I always gotta initiate all the talks and questions and then sometimes he says he's bored, so that option wouldnt be the wisest one I think..
