Ok, here's the scenario. My guy friend met a woman online in the beginning of February. They emailed back and forth for about 3 weeks before they met. They've been on about 5 dates since then. I think he'd like to see her more often, but she's the one who wants to hold back. My friend, we'll call him Ricardo, says he came on a little strong at first. The girl, we'll call her Carmelita, got a little scared and started to back off. Ricardo apologized, and Carmelita said she's just nervous about jumping in too quickly because she's been hurt in past relationships. She, by the way, met a guy that lived in Hawaii online, and she dated him for 4 years (and they only actually saw each other in person once a year!).
Well, Carmelita seems like a flake to me, but I'm wondering what you all think. Ricardo said he didn't call her one day, and she sent him an email the next day asking if he forgot about her and asked if he got back with an ex or something. She's hot and cold....into him one day, and not into him the next. He said she mentioned wanting to put her profile back online because she's paying for it and wants to see who else is out there. To me, that means she's not all that interested. He's trying to be patient because he says he likes her and she's a nice girl. He's ready to find a relationship. I worry that he's being strung along. Why should he waste his time with this chick when he could be looking for Mrs. Right? He's a great guy and I think he deserves better.
Like I said, I just want opinions. I'll relay the message to him.
