Man thoughts please: I went on a couple of dates with a guy from a singles site. He was handsome and interesting but before our second date we were debating issues over text. In one text he put an exclamation mark which I take as meaning that you’re shouting at me. So I declined a third date and said it would be better if we stayed as friends. He expressed disappointment but that was the end of that. Then a few weeks later he texted me asking me how I was. From there we would text to and fro with some pleasant banter.
Later on he would remark what good company I was and how sexy I was and that it was a shame we never went on that first date. And to be honest I’m tempted because he’s a quality guy. My dilemma is this, should I initiate a third date or leave it because he probably just wants to have sex?
I wouldn't fall out with someone over a punctuation mark! An exclamation mark doesn't mean someone's shouting, but that they are exclaiming/pleased/excited - shouting would be capital letters.
Why do you think he's just looking for sex? Just because he commented that you were sexy? - he's probably trying to pay you a compliment!
I think it will go absolutely no where if you are silly enough to cut your nose off to spite your face because of an exclamation mark; to me this would indicate that you are not mature enough to be in a realationship yet.
Men are men are men! We see things differently from women, it is a fact that men think about 'sex' so much more than women, for a man the chase is the excitement, trust me I've been there. My advice, leave well alone or you may become just another notch on his bedpost! ;)
