    I met a guy from a dating site. We started talking over the phone and through video call everyday for more than a week. I could feel his sincerity everytime we were talking. But sometimes, I can’t help being doubtful about him since I never dated somebody online before. So I started rejecting his calls and ignoring his messages. He asked me thru chat what’s the problem and so I told him how I was feeling and what I was thinking. He explained his side well but I admit that I behaved in an immature way. As he was trying to explain his side, he kept on trying to call me so we could talk better but I kept on rejecting his call while keeping arguing with him thru chat. Then I think he got annoyed, he left his last message saying “let’s just end this conversation. Prolly your ex left you because of your attitude, I guess your next relationship would be the same(he meant, the next guy would leave me as well due to my attitude)” then he blocked me. My ego was really hurt reading his last message and for him blocking me. But I admit I behaved improperly and I understand I also hurt him with my action. It’s almost a week now and that scenario keeps on bothering me and to be honest, I keep on thinking about him. I want to meet him and apologize in person not thru a text message. Any advice? Will he reject me if I try to see him and apologize in person? Will he dislike me permanently?

    Sounds like you do not know how to deal with a relationship.

    Look, if a guy is making you uncomfortable because of somethings he has said or did then you remove yourself from the situation. If it is only your own insecurities then you should not be dating but putting your time into fixing those.

    Carrying insecurities into new relationships is a downer to anyone….imagine if you met someone and they were always wondering if you were cheating on them in their own mind…that is a downer before you start.

    Block them or fix yourself…those are the two paths…choose wisely.

    I’m not really one to defend men, but you were totally wrong in this situation. I would just cut my losses and move on. Learn from your mistakes.

    Thank you for your response redcurleysue. But I got a bit confused, I’m sorry. We’ve talked for less than 2 weeks before we had an argument. We never met in person. Yes, he said some things that made me feel uncomfortable so I told him that and he apologized and explained his side to me. But I said a lot of things to him over the chat. He wanted to call me so we can have a better conversation but I kept on rejecting his calls. Before I realized I was acting immature, he got annoyed and blocked me. Now, I’m feeling guilty and want to apologize to him.

    Is this a pattern for you? To ignore instead of verbalizing how you feel? Even via text is better than rejecting and ignoring a person. This guy kept on trying!! Most people would call o once, maybe twice and then they’d stop talking to you.

    Are you not aware of this? I am not trying to make you feel worse, I am trying to understand what goes in your mind when you “reject” his calls. Does it make you feel empowered? because oyu clearly don’t want to stop seeing him, then why reject his calls? What makes your do that? Do you understand it yourself?

    Next time do not “talk a lot” over chat with a person you never met. Meet in person, take things slowly, do not divulge things about yourself to a toal strange, act normal, with the normal norms. If someone is making you feel uncomfortable, tell them that using words. If you are unable to say it using voice over the phone, then at least type it it up for them and make sure to word things carefully and use appropriate emojis so that your message is not misinterpreted.

    Why did you 2 not meet in person?

    Raven, we talked for only less than 2 weeks. We were supposed to meet, but he wanted to stay in a hotel on our first date so we could watch movies, sleep together, etc. So I started thinking negatively. I told him that, I wouldn’t go with someone to a hotel on the first date and that I want to take things slowly and get to know each other better.

    Emma, it wasn’t that I was feeling empowered rejecting his calls. I was doing that because I was confused at that moment. And yes, I conveyed to him what I was thinking and how I was feeling but I chose to convey them thru chat.

    If a guy I had not even met wanted me to go to a hotel he would have been blocked at that moment, no chat needed.

    Staying in a hotel as a first date suggests he was after easy sex. I think you more or less consciously knew this is not right for you and that’s where your avoidance came from. Sounds like you haven’t lost a lot (in terms of a relationship/partner potential) unless you were also looking for a similar arrangement to that what he offered.

    Strangers don’t matter. They are nothing. We have no feelings or attachment to a person we have never met.

    Your mistake is imagining that you have any obligation or connection to an online stranger

    So you didn’t like his tone, and you stopped talking. Fine, so what. The end.

    Move on. Never go back to an online relationship that wasn’t. He wasn’t your friend, you are thinking that an online chat makes you in a relationship. Doofy.

    You are being downright silly to think you should contact and explain. He’s just a stranger out there in internet land. Get it?

    <<Your mistake is imagining that you have any obligation or connection to an online stranger>>

    I couldn’t agree more with this. I keep seeing threads started by women who have been talking X amounts of weeks with a man they have never met and creating all kinds of drama around him. Usually the drama revolves around a misunderstanding or disagreement and the woman is in torment over whether to get back in contact with this total stranger.

    Mars, he wanted you to stay over in a hotel and sleep together. You didn’t want to do that (as I wouldn’t have wanted to either) and you cut him off. There is no big deal here. My advice, stop making a mountain out of a molehill.

    It’s true, he might just be a stranger I met on the internet. However, somehow, we had some deep conversations. He was funny and sweet. But I didn’t really trust him as I never met him in person. And I thought, if he’s really interested in me and would take me seriously, then shouldn’t he be excited to meet me in person? But everytime we would talk about bonding or meeting in person or whenever I’d ask him if when he’s gonna take a day off, the first thing that he’d always suggest is a staycation either in a hotel or a resort where we could sleep together. Realizing that, I convinced myself that he has an ulterior motive and so I decided to stop talking to him . Then he kept on calling me, asking me what’s the problem and so I told him all I was thinking and my negative feelings. He tried to convince me he doesn’t have any bad intentions to me and insisted we could talk about it, give him a chance to prove he really likes me and he would take me seriously, that he would respect me and would agree to whatever I want in a relationship. But I couldn’t be convinced by mere words unless he’d really ask me out on a date, not anywhere private. I kept on interrogating him until maybe he got annoyed. I’d be convinced until now that it’s better, it’s totally alright he blocked me. What kept me confused is that, why did he have to leave a message saying “that’s the reason why your ex left you. The next time you’ll be in a relationship, the same thing will happen. The reason why men leave your attitude”. Fyi, no one from my exes decided to leave me and he knows that. Did he say that just to make me feel bad about myself? Was he possibly referring to me playing hard to get?-if that’s the case then I wouldn’t care anymore, I’ll just forget about everything as I know I’m protecting myself. But is it possible that there was really bad about my actions like choosing to convey my feelings thru texts instead of voice call, or was he referring to me arguing a lot?
    Btw, thank you all for taking time to read my post. Your advice and opinion on my matter elighten me.

    @Let it go thank you for that. You’re all right, I shouldn’t be bothered anymore. Anyway, I think I’m totally done on this matter. I’m totally new in this forum. Such thing kept on bothering my head these days but I couldn’t find anybody to ask to give me advice or express their opinion about my situation. I’m grateful I came across this forum :)

    I’ve said several men I met online get defensive and even angry/nasty to me when I called them out on intentions to just get sex (home first dates, etc) Sounds like this guy was doing the same. Also found out that these guys really, really don’t like being labeled ‘creepy’! Well, if the shoe fits…

    Hotel on first date?? *Block*

    Unless you were also looking for a hookup.

    Lord, this man did you a favor. He is more than likely married and looking for sex if the offer was netflix and chill at a hotel.

    1. If you are just looking for sex, you can meet better guys, just tell them you want something casual and they are happy to take you on a real first date that doesn’t involve a hotel.

    2. If you are looking for a serious man for a relationship, he will also take you on a first date that doesn’t involve a hotel or his home.

    While you could have handled it differently, I would like to note this guy showed you his ass as well. There is no good reason for him to say the hurtful and intentionally cruel things that he said to you. He already took sensitive information you gave him (a break up) to use against you when his feelings or ego was bruised.

    Do you want a dirty fighter? You dodged a bullet. Move on. He went too low.

    Hi,

    I know this is an old post, but the same thing has happened to me. I’ve been talking to a guy online and after 3 weeks of talking daily I’ve become very attached. However, we had an argument because I told him I didn’t like the fact he was following other girls online. Rather than talking about it, he said jealousy was an unattractive quality and he didn’t like me anymore, he said he doesn’t see this going anywhere and he removed me from Instagram.. he also unliked all my posts before he did. I feel hurt because I actually liked this guy.. but I’ve never seen this angry side to him before. I don’t know what to do.. I know I should forget him, I think it’s because I didn’t expect such a rash reaction from him.. Can anybody help me to control these emotions?
