I have a myspace account. I love keeping in touch with my friends & family. I am single & although I do not have my profile stating anything other than wanting to meet friends, I sometimes have guys pop on an email to chat. Recently, a guy several years younger than me did just this, he sent me an email asking if we could chat sometime & become friends. We have exchanged several emails over the last few weeks. And so far, I really like him. He is different than most guys I've dated or gotten to know... How can i determine if he wants to just be friends or if he is interested in me? I've left subtle hints as to why I'm not seeing anyone. He on the other hand hasn't stepped into this topic at all. In fact, he hasn't asked me any questions other than, "how was your weekend?" But he has spent time writing lengthy letters to describe what he does & what he has acomplished in life... I don't want to be too forward... help me out?

Great Advice here! I have seen pictures, he has many posted. Trust me, I've dated a ton of losers online & that is why I no longer "seek" to date! He has been very very nice & probably cautious too. I like what he's written so far. There has been NO flirting what so ever - this is why I asked the question that I did!!!

Patience is the key..He will continue finding out how adorable you are and want to meet you..So if you are desiring more than just chat over the Internet, time will tell. But know all you can know and then some. Because you can't tell the wolves from the sheep unless you move in a Little closer and listen for anything that isn't true. You have the right to be suspicious before giving personal info to someone you truly don't know. So give it a lot of time and space and don't move on uncertainty.

Do you want to be more than friends with this guy? If you do, then you need to drop subtle hints like, "Are you seeing anyone?" If you just want to remain friends then just keep the messages back and forth with friendly banter. Don't say anything that can be construed as flirty or that you are interested in him as lover material.
On the other hand, he may be interested in you more than a friend. He just may not know how to flirt properly or he confuses being friendly as being romantic and charming. If he hasn't approached you yet online as to wanting to take the potential for relationship to the next level and you are not interested, keep things as they are. On a friendly note.

While I have been tempted numerous times to want to try to be more intimate than friends with a girl online... I never actually do it, because I have heard too many horror stories of online relationships (ie the other side being a child abuser or gay/lesbian when he/she pretends to be straight). So personally for me, online relationships are generally strictly down to friends because to me... it may well be a girl on the other side... but it's still just text on a page in the end.

Do you want an honest answer from a man?
If I happen to be this other guy, I would be carefully planning to make you like me, trust me completely and then take you out perhaps. I wouldn't want you to be just a friend, I cannot vouch for other men. But.. but.. how do you know if he is what he says he is if you haven't even met him or seen a pic?
All the best, but and take care and be careful.

The problem with online is eventually you two are going to want to meet and interact with each other in real life. If you can get a girlfriend in real life, things will be a lot simpler in the long run.

Unless you actually see this person through a web cam he may be leading you on. That's all Internet relationships are good for. Get all the facts on this guy before you go and fall into something and get yourself hurt. Good Luck.

Yes believe it or not guys can look to be only friends with girls online. Course now I do belive the ratio of that compared to girls only wanted to be friends with guys online are way off. Guys wanting only to be freinds 25%, girls only wanting to be friends 75%. LOL, it's true.

it seems like he likes talking about himself... he probably talks to a ton of random people online.. SOOO many people are like that these days.. I mean think about it -- if he doesn't live near you or anything, why just email you to chat?? Meet people in the real world..

Very rarely do guys look for girls online JUST to be friends. Most guys are looking for something else.
But maybe this guys really is different, I don't know. But I wanna say its very unlikely.
Good luck.

guys use myspace to find cheap meat to bang. It is your fault for declaring single. Lie and say your married and 90% of the men will quit trying to get in your pants. Blame yourself and your friends. Because every now and then females on myspace get horny and when they do they hook up with random strangers. Dont lie! You know you have done it before. All females have.
