Internet Dating Etiquette?

So I've met a guy through internet dating. We've been seeing each other for about 5 weeks, talking or texting every day. We get along great, he's my type and I can see myself seeing him for a while, though I'm not sure he is long term material. He is definately interested in me, he is extremely complimentary to me and a complete gentleman. Our friendship has progressed this last week and we did the deed. This in itself doesn't bother me as this is how long I would wait in a 'normal' relationship (please don't tell me to wait till marriage, I'm a big girl!!!). The issue that confuses is me is that I have taken down my profile (admittedly this was about 3 weeks ago, which he knows about), yet he hasn't taken his down and i know he has had activity on there, he bought up the subject and said he can't take it down until he has used his 'stamps'.:


Do I have a right to ask him what his intentions are in this relationship?


Can I ask him to take his profile down?


Opinions anyone?????

It's too soon sweetie. While you may like the guy a lot, you don't really know him very well. And he's obvioulsy still looking. I would not make a big stink about him keeping his profile up... and I definately wouldn't ask him what his 'intentions' are. You need to be more like him. Keep your options open, and date some other people (even if you don't want to) That way, you'll have a distraction or two on standby for those times when you feel a bit needy. Remember, he's not your boyfriend yet and its unfair of you to expect him to act like it.

Reply:It seems to me that his act of not disabling his profile means that he is still open to dating others and still seeing or entertaining others. The question is: Are you wanting an open relationship or a committed (closed) relationship? You need to discuss this with him, openly and directly. (Actually, you should have discussed this with him before doing the deed, so you'd have an idea of what to expect.)





It doesn't seem like he is as committed to you as you are seemingly committed to him.





By the way, you can ask him to disable his profile, and he just may do it, but how do you know, for sure, that he does not have another one (or many others)? There are lots of online dating sites out there.





Good luck!
Reply:I am dating a man I met on the internet and yes you have the right to ask him where your relationship is going as I did my guy and he took his profile down as I took mine down.
Reply:you just mentioned you don't see him as a long term material, so what's the big deal, have your fun full knowing you're not going to keep him. maybe he sees you the same way.
