Don't I Know You?

Last February I went out with this guy a couple of times. We had instant chemistry, I felt very comfortable with him right away, and we had tons in common.

We had a few really great dates, he called me the day after the last one, and we set a time later in the week to go out again. Unfortunately, he'd been feeling sick (and I think he really was;his coughs sounded both liquidy and like his lung was about to explode from his chest), so the last date never happened.

I called him a few times that next week, but he never called me back. I was hurt and puzzled over the whole thing, but that's life in the dating world, right?

Yesterday I was talking to my mom about dating (I don't even remember how it came up) and I mentioned that the only one that I really regret things not working out with was with that guy (we'll call him Mr. X). In all honesty, I liked him and was attracted to him more than any guy that I've seen in longer than I can remember.

Today I was reading my mail and got an e-mail from Match.com (yes, I'm a member) saying I had two winks. The first one was from Mr. X.

WTF? While we met on a different dating site, my profiles are exactly the same and use the same pictures. He never had my e-mail, he doesn't appear to be a member of the site we met on anymore, and I've changed my phone number since we met.

Is this some weird way of seeing if I'll contact him back? Could he have totally forgotten that we've got out a few times and just thought my profile was cute and winked?

If you were me, what would you do? I did really like him.

lessee... you asked for a 24/7 post office - you got a Wal-Mart shoppette

You wanted the lottery - you got $100

You asked for a 'wonderful, handsome boy'...

I'm thinking this guy might be decently looking... but have a hump, lazy eye, or other some such...

This is obviously a case of a dumb guy. But, if you're anything like me, you won't let that stop you from responding. You could start with, "I'm glad you got over your cough. At least, I hope you did..."

second time is the charm!

I know. My user name... a bit strange. Kitsune means fox in japanese just incase you didn't know. Well about that guy, I think you should just trust your own judgment. If you really like him, GO FOR IT!! But be sure to be careful. Cautious. And keep you mind clear. And mothers' are a great source of advice.

I'd contact him back - you never know....

I would write something like, "Long time, no speak!" and see what he says...

I would contact him - maybe he was happy to find you over at Match and wants another shot. He had no other way to contact you, so ... who knows? Give him a break. :) (And give us an update!)

might as well email him. be up front though that you've gone on dates before. since he never had your email and your # changed, he might have tried to contact you. and maybe he was THRILLED to see you on that dating site.

I second Christine's comments. At the very least you may find out why he never returned your calls. Maybe there is a good reason.
