Question:
I have communicated with this woman I met online several times,
but we have not yet met. After exchanging several messages, she
said she would call but then never did, explaining that she got
really busy at work.
After a few weeks, I emailed her and she said she would call me
in the next few days. I waited but she never called. Why didn’t
she call me?
Answer:
I'm sorry to hear that you have had such a disappointing
experience with someone you met online. It is so frustrating to
expect a phone call that never materializes.
There could be volumes of books written on why the dating game
is so complicated. Unfortunately, a very common explanation is
that the person’s interest level is not high enough to make
calling a priority. This woman probably does like you, at least
enough to keep telling you she'll call. However, it sounds like
she has other things going on that are keeping her busy enough
that following through with her commitment isn't a priority for
her.
I know that in the past I’ve been in this situation as well, I
wanted to give men as much of a chance as I could and I wanted
to be open minded when meeting someone online. But, if you just
aren’t that excited about someone, even though you don’t always
recognize it, it reveals itself through your actions. It doesn’t
mean that this lady is a bad person. It probably means that she
hasn’t found a firm reason yet to tell you she isn’t interested.
Unfortunately, this situation is very common in online dating.
You know so little about someone, especially when you haven’t
yet met and it’s very hard to determine if someone is worth the
time to meet.
In this situation, things are very clear. You’ve given her ample
opportunity and her actions have spoken louder than her words.
Move on to someone else and I’m sure you will have better luck.
Don’t let this situation dissuade you from continuing with
online dating, it’s just part of the process and it really isn’t
anything personal.
Good luck.
Best wishes,
