EASY. ASK HIM.

I prefer to just ask him. I am not afraid to ask, then you know the answer and you know where you stand, no wasting anyone's time especially yours. Good Luck.

Really! I'm new to dating, very new, and I'm finding dates here but honestly don't know how to tell if a man here on Plenyoffish is seriously interested in getting to know me or if he is just entertaining himself for the evening. I have guys that write to me often and I feel like they are friends...and even though they might say that I'm attractive etc, I still am not sure if they truely want to go further than the internet or if they are just flirting to entertain themselves or what. So how does one know?


Some are here for the entertainment factor, that's a given.
It only takes a series of three questions to find out if a person is lying. Ever. Ask the questions.

How do you tell?

He meets all of your qualifications. What are they?

Write down what you're willing to accept, and what you're not. Otherwise, you'll be attracting men who contribute very little to the relationship because they don't know what they want in a woman.

Namaste

If they are serious they ask u out right away. I seem to meet all the married men. They like to email or talk during the week. They keep saying they want to meet this weekend then u don't hear from them over the weekend. Then a repeat the next week. Ones that want to im or email or chat on the phone are not really interested. If a guy is he will email a few times then talk on the phone and if he likes u set a date. Where are these kind of men?

I have to agree, time is a vertue and patience is better...I'm new to this whole dating internet stuff, I'm very nervous and scared about thinking of meeting someone from here. I mean you here stories about true love and making it work, but there are also the scary ones too and that is why I say be patient, do your best to really get to know them and everything they like, maybe you'll click and then if your ready, meet in a public place...you can always do a background search with your local police department if you really wanna know....

If you have to ask, he probably isn't. When it's right, you shouldn't have to ask, you'll just know.

Well OP even a friend can find you attractive without wanting to experience any furthur relationship with you. Yet feel what you know about him in your heart...

maybe what you should be wondering about is, am I serious about this person. ask yourself how being with that person makes you feel about yourself. if the answer is nothing good, then chances are its not a healthy relationship to continue with. If you are content with spending time with a person who doesnt want to persue a ltr or commitment with you, and you can keep a perspective on the matter, keep them around. but be very clear what the two of you share is not what you are looking for in a relationship and you will be seeking that elsewhere.
key thing here is, how do you feel about you by being with this person and spending time with them?

I think this all goes back to that book about Why Men Love a Bi$tch. Being needy is a turn off because who wants some chick worrying about if she is my girl or not? Then she saying stupid stuff like "let's talk" when there is nothing to talk about.

They don't want to go further with you because you are trying to hard to get serious. You need to relax and go with the flow. Make your mind like water. If you keep up that needy act, dudes are going to smell it on you and keep it moving.

Exchange of email ads., conversation via mobile, whereby you connect with the same interests, humour etc, first date arranged (better closer to home!) then a second date is arranged.............

When he doesn't complain about carrying your purse, or going out to purchase feminine hygiene products for you. Either he is serious about you or he is a weenie. It's up to you to decide which.

Have fun ;)!

I must admit that I was skeptical about the whole internet dating thing. It can be very impersonal and let's face it, people can be and say anything they wish to. I think that if the man is interested, the time period between internet chats and actual meet should be relatively short. Why waste time? Either you meet and like each other or it's a dud. You move on and have wasted little time and effort. Personally, I have had good luck with POF and have met some great individuals. They started with me initiating a chat and I met them within a couple of days. The biggest indicator of interest for me is if a man attempts to involve me in his life after we have met in person: be it talking about the children or their relationships with friends.

never can tell if the man is seriously interested in u, till u meet him and chat, then if he still keep calling u or sms u, so alright the man is serious!
sometimes internet dates r difficult to relate to the real life, but few miracles r really exist! sometimes we just need keep our faith...

i think its bullshit...if you cant find someone local, what makes youthink that other person from across the coutry is right.


I know a couple that met online and they were in different countries. He was on a teaching job in South America and she was in Florida visiting her family between teaching jobs. They emailed, he invited her down to meet him, arranging for her to stay with the women who taught at his school and sharing the cost of her plane ticket. (The male teachers had one house they shared, the female teachers shared another house.) They hit it off so well, she took a job at his school and stayed in the country without even going home to get more of her stuff. They're married and expecting a baby now.

because if you'll pay close attention, the OP is gone, hence no advice required anymore.
