And he accepted my FB friend request. And he has not logged into the dating website since he last sent me the message with his email address—like 8 days ago.
Do you have any advice how I can handle this situation? Welcome to online dating. The real question here is whether he can offer you what you want — in this case, an in-person date and, eventually, mutual interest in seeing where things go. See, online dating is a bit more complicated that conventional dating, but the goal is the same: You email, you decide you want to meet, you meet. When online dating, I only recommend people search out of state if they live in a very rural, isolated area.
Otherwise, date people who live nearby, who you can meet in person and visit with nothing more than subminute drive in your car. Sure, it warrants a meeting. But does it warrant tolerating that which is unacceptable? And this guy is offering you nothing.
Be his friend on Facebook. Go out with other guys who seem interesting and available and see if chemistry develops after you get to know them. Good luck to you!
After 6 years of doing doing online dating my response would be run! Online dating acquaintances with a delay in actually meeting someone has problems. It is possible to become attached to someone who may decide never to meet you or that you would not be attracted to in person.
You want to meet them soon to see if you are attracted to them, their voice and if their personality works for you in 3D. Claiming to have chemistry with someone you have never met is simply a fantasy. I think every new online dater learns this the hard way.
A long-distance gay relationship is rife with potential for miscommunication and misunderstandings. Keep your relationship communication lines completely open. Let her know she's on your mind regularly. Speak up if something is bothering you, and be clear not only about your feelings but also your expectations for the future.
Don't build up anger or resentment about how much time she spends with her cute coworker; instead, tell her it makes you uncomfortable and ask to be reassured that she's all yours. Do regular check-ins with your partner on your relationship's status, and reevaluate your shared goals and plans.
A lengthy phone call every night can quickly begin to feel burdensome, leading to resentment. Instead of scheduling marathon chat sessions, stay in touch with your partner throughout the day. Use free time to send him a quick email or text to say "I love you" or just let him know you're thinking of him. Take the time to listen to your partner about what is happening in his life, and to do whatever he needs to feel assured of your commitment.
Visit each other as often as possible, and don't schedule events for every minute. Instead, spend time alone together. Designate time to be intimate, and find creative ways to spend time together when apart, such as renting the same movie and watching it on the phone together. It's important to focus on your partner, but don't forget to take care of yourself too. Online dating can be a dream come true when it comes to finding your perfect mate, but it's also ripe with risks: At some point you will decide to take things offline, and you may find yourself booking a one-way flight to visit a complete stranger, one you really know nothing about.
But you don't want to risk finding yourself in a disappointing a situation — or a downright nightmarish one, like the guy who recently flew across the world, and then waited 10 days in an airport for a date who stood him up. It might seem like you are doing a lot of leg work, but believe me, you do not want to show up only to be stood up, deceived, or put in a bad position. Ask the hard questions, and be ready to share the hard answers. It's scary, but you must be vulnerable. And that's not all she means by getting vulnerable.
Yes, talk about it! Open your mouth to communicate before you open your legs.

Being busy is no excuse to bury your relationship on your priority list. I know I was hurt by that at the time, but I think, looking back it was fairly mature of him not to lie to me. Can you still call it sexting if it's only foreplay?
These days, we all have access to video on our phones and computers. So, "It's worth chatting on Skype or FaceTime before spending money and time to travel to meet. You may think that's unromantic; but trust me, it's way less romantic to show up and realize you've been catfished. Start by being honest with your partner about your needs to keep the relationship growing.
