    Aramaghmagic, by all means let her do the next organising but do not put things on hold for her. As Pem and Lynda and newbee said, if she really wants to see you she will make the effort. I'm busy for the next month or so (including spending 2-3 days working in Dublin when I live in Galway) and I would still make time to meet someone I was really interested in. I get the feeling she may be hanging onto you as a "just in case" and that's not nice

    Sorry I hope it doesn't add salt to the wound, but I agree with the above ladies.. Keep her there until she's saying she's ready, but don't put too much thought or your life on hold for her or you could have wasted a couple months were you might have found somebody not so busy..

    Thanks everyone for the advice,

    Think we have been too stiff and getting too serious......we have been cracking jokes and messing through text and the next meet has shortened from June till the week after next!

    But definitely taking your advice about not putting my life on hold :D

    Send him a message so that's it there the next time he logs in. Life is short people.

    I know how they feel because I was given the knockback due to her work commitments but because I really like her I am willing to wait till next week.....

    Think it was a good thing you found that out now.....have you been on many dates with him prior to now?

    Date done at the 3rd attempt, she asked for the time during the coffee and thought I was lying at how late it was so can only see that as a good sign!

    However when I left her back to her car she said she will be busy till June so not sure what to do! Would like to see her again but a month is a long time....think this one may be worth it tho, seems genuine!

    Well sure we will see what happens in a month, won't be contributing much to the thread till then!

    Busy for a month!!! Unless she is away for business or holidays or has exams how could she possibly be busy for a month?

    Ya but to be honest it'd be more a "Hi" type message than wanting anything to come from it!

    I know! Strange, plus he probably wouldn't recognise me as I think I look different from secondary school

    Had a breakfast date, as the dude was working from 12. SO not my type. I'm not talking looks wise either. Lasted a little over 2 hours and was excruciating. Poor guy was either really aloof and cold or crippingly shy. I'm really shy but made some effort. All one word answers from him, no questions asked in return, and he looked like he hadn't shaved in 2 days.

    Got a text from him after we parted ways 'was lovely meeting you, I'd love to do it again. Was going to kiss you but didn't know how you'd react.'

    That text probably contained more words than he said through the whole 2 hour date.


    ahahaha, so much fun.

    He's quite shy and very intelligent (ha that sounds bad to my other dates!), I mean he's not someone I might necessarily go for irl, as in, I am usually attracted to confident, outgoing people... but we had a nice few drinks and chat, and I felt comfortable around him. I don't know if I felt that wow spark, but I liked him &think (if he askes me out again) I'd like to meet him again :)

    We'll see... he's very shy, so he didn't make a move, so to speak, ie kiss me at the end, but he hugged me and txted after to say he'd had a nice time - sure I'm just deadly company :D

    Awkward.... ah, nothing worse than feeling the time dragging by and feeling like it's blood from a stone to draw conversation :o

    Yea I know what you mean, there's only so many questions you can ask before you think "hey it's a bit one-sided here!" - at least you've met up in person, and you know yourself whether it's worth having a 2nd date to see if his nerves subsided a bit and there is something there (or not :D!)

    Yea, I've dated people in the past who I was attracted to, but were not good for me, and have messed with my head. I think, I'm just not used to someone who's actually genuine and a gent! Before ye give out,I'm not tarring all men with the same brush, just the ones I've fancied :D

    That's why you have to prepare back up questions.
