You are very right to be wary of too much attention too soon.
This man has built up an ideal image of you before meeting you, and that's never good.
It's very immature of him in fact!

I was wondering what was going on with Mr. Mike. I feel like this is a similar scenario with men around America. I think THEY get caught up and when they realize they are moving too fast, they slow it up. Not lose interest, but slow it up b/c they don't want to fall too fast.

Problem is, as females, we are naturally emotional. We like to connect on deeper levels. Even the best/hardest chicks can fall for the extra phone call, gesture of appreciation, or compliment. Don't feel bad, but let him keep the pace of this situation.

Give it a time limit, 2 more weeks, 1 month; and let him know what you liked abt the date and your exchanges. If he still acts crazy. Toss it up as a loss.

OK.. so again I was on his site (I am sure he loves all the attention we are giving him)

Looking at his rants.. I know he lies.. saying people from blog nation sent him pics of all these crazy people in stores. WELL this is an email that was set around to everyone about "People of Walmart"

Nobody sent you various pics MIKE.. you may have been forwarded the same email millions of people were… and made your own stupid, ignorant, racist comments.

Cece.. WTF are you or were you thinking? This guy is just a LOSER!

I think the bigger thing here is talking about becoming cynical. I think that all of us go through this. I know that I had an awful experience this weekend. It hardened me a bit, but I'm not sure becoming a little cynical is a bad thing. Perhaps it allows us to slow things down on our own. When it is right I still think you will know. The cynical you will be gone because when it is right it really just is. At least this is what my two most cynical best friends have told me. Also you are dating in New York City if you can come out of that and not be a cynic then you need to start giving lessons.

Sorry to get all higher mindset and meditative, but bear with me for a moment please.

Every experience, the good, the bad, and the fugly offers us something to learn about ourselves. If we pay attention, we move on that much wiser. If not, we're doom to repeat that lesson until we do.

That man is inconsequential. What matters here is you. Look inward, breathe, focus, reward yourself for what you accomplished, take notes on what you learned, and most of all: Keep Calm & Carry On.

A wise woman is cautious, not jaded.

I wouldn't call it cynicism as much as being realistic. Everyone wants to make a connection, (with the exception of dirtbag player guys) and him having someone to talk to, exchange emails and texts, was having someone to communicate with during the day.

Of course women read in to this kind of attention more than men do, but next time I would stick with your rules, to the T. Who cares if he has to wait a while to hear back from you?? Your the one left with your feelings in the end.

Also if you are going to put a time limit on hearing back from a guy, give it 3 days. If he can't man up within that time frame to ask you out again its his loss. NEXT!

I'm sort of surprised by the negative comments on here.

But yea, you're right Cece, not being responded back after a good date is a huge let down. But at least he's not the last guy on earth =)

Can't wait until the blog post sometime in the future where you tell us all about the one who is "The One" =)!

Love your blog – hope things turn out okay for you.

To the folks with comments:
Unfortunately I've been handling some major issues with the mother of my daughter. I'm pretty sure that I told CeCe that, I don't know if she mentioned it to y'all in a post.

I do tend to withdraw from everyone when I need to focus on things in my life that can effect me or my daughter.

Not that I'm not just another man. Or you knew this would happen. But I'd like to say that a phone can work both ways. I've never said for CeCe not call, or email me. I just withdraw when I'm going through certain things. Not to just CeCe but basically everyone I know. Except Mom Dukes and my Gmoms of course.

And to none…Obviously you have trouble understanding English.
The pics are from the walmart site and that's where I got them, but I let the members of my site who HAVE sent in numerous walmark pics know that I haven't been reading all of my email messages and if that they didn't see a pic that they sent me in that post to please not be mad, I will get to my mail and respond to their emails.

I've said that CeCe is a great person. But the assumption that I don't have a life is very wrong.

I had a great date with CeCe.
As far as I know, I haven't treated her wrong, disrespected her in any way or spoken negative about her or the date.

I do live in a different state, I run an IT dept and have other responsibilities. Shortly after I returned back home I let CeCe know that I was going through some things. and that I would get back to her about blogging. I haven't seen one email or call from CeCe since then.

I don't blame CeCe for not picking up the phone. But I won't allow folks to judge me when they don't know me and stay quiet. This is the first time I've visited the site in about 30 days.

It has nothing to do with moving too fast or scared or any other of the shot in the dark ideas that's been commented. I think some folks should switch to decaf.

What's immature is blaming everything on me like I just fell off the Earth and wasn't answering calls or emails.

Because you read something I blog about doesn't mean you "Really" know me. I'm not mad at any of your comments. But I'm a grown ass man and will speak my mind. Love it or Leave it.

Mike, I still think two weeks is a long time not to contact someone, but hey, that's my opinion. It sounds like bad timing on your part but at the same time…how hard is it to send a quick text?

It's fine if you want to withdraw…stuff comes up. Just know that not everyone will understand, especially women! In my experience, if a guy is interested…he wants to stay in touch no matter what is going on.

Last Anon speaks the truth!!!!
