I met a guy on a matrimonial website (a little different than a regular dating website as the intention is for long-term relationships from the get-go eventually leading to marriage). We’re from different provinces. Anyway me and this guy exchanged pics, and liked what we saw of each other so started texting and calling each other. It only lasted a month or so but he definitely expressed interest as I initiated first contact and all contact thereafter was initiated by him. We had a lot of good phone and text conversations. So two weeks ago, he asked if he could add me to facebook. Normally, I’m not comfortable with adding ppl onto facebook that I don’t know that well but I went with my gut feeling (that’s he a really decent, nice guy) and added him. When I added him it became obvious that he is in fact a great guy, very very family oriented, almost all his pics were of him with his family etc. I was a little conscious of mine because a lot of my pics were from a few years ago, when I was a bit of a party girl. I’m still a social person, but I don’t really go clubbing much etc. now and I was concerned that my profile only reflected the me from a few years ago. Nevertheless, I added him and we still had contact after but it seems to have scaled back significantly. Mind you I’ve only known him for a month or so but he called or text me every couple of days and now I haven’t heard from him in a week. I’m wondering how I should handle this. Any tips?
If it's a matrimonial website, then he is probably looking for someone who can be the mother of his children, say right now. The pictures may have given him the impression that you are not ready to leave your partying days behind. The question is, do you want to be with someone who is that uptight anyhow? Wouldn't you rather he can be someone who can let loose once in a while?

1Why does your Facebook profile represent "you from a few years ago"? Are you sure you really want to settle down if you still want all your Facebook friends to see you as a fun, wild party girl? You can't make him want you, and if he isn't okay with your past, he's not okay with you. It's not a big loss... move on.
2Get a copy of "The Rules for Online Dating" and start over. When a guy is really interested, he'll offer to meet you in person after talking a few times. That's when you do a lunch date or an afternoon coffee date, then you take it from there.
And it wouldn't hurt to clean up your Facebook page. Employers check them out too, you know.
3Go AWOL for two weeks and don't update your page with anything or contact him. Guys love being ignored. If you hear from him, great. If not, move on.
4The way people use the internet to interact never ceases to amaze me.
I think it is interesting that you will spend the time to go on a matrimonial website specifically to find a husband, but will not take the time to update a social networking site that has old pictures of you as a party girl.
Agree with notinthemood on this one. I think this is more about you than him...are YOU ready to go that matrimonial route? It seems to me that if you were, the FIRST thing that you would do is to update a social networking site in order to give than impression to potential mates.
He is probably dating someone else. I agree to ignore him and move on. If he calls, he calls, but if no effort is made to meet you in person, be done with it.
5I've got to check out one of these "matrimonial websites." Just the name sounds hilarious.
6So you never dated the guy? A coffee, a dinner? How can either of you know each other? I don't see how he could judge you for a few pictures on line, or him as a big loss. Forget it. Update your photos then if you continue with the matrimonial sites.
7I started seeing my supervisor a year ago. He had just been dumped by his girlfriend of four years who drained him of all his money. I found that this guy was trustworthy and for the first time in my life, I trusted that this man would not stray. Since I was living with my father, whom was disabled, I spent a lot of time caring for my father. I also have suffered from depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder and post traumatic stress syndrome. Since I was on several medications I found myself sleeping for hours if a day or so. Not knowing all this, my boyfriend thought I was "lieing" when I informed him that I was either taking care of my father or SLEEPING. I found out recently that during this particular time, he had a profile on Yahoo Personals and was actively coresponding with several women looking for a "spark" as he put it. Now, I have lost all trust and confidence in him but yet I have found myself living with him. I feel he is lieing to me and deceiving me. I haven't found any evidence to support my suspicions, but I have this gut feeling he wants me right where I'm at. BUT... he wants the "girl next door", too. He has become evasive as far as his cell phone is concerned, and seems to be "borrowing" my car without asking me while I am deeply asleep. I only suspect this because I keep track of my mileage, and once the hood was hot to the touch. He said he didn't borrow it, he only backed it out of the garage so he could pull another car in. I asked him if he left it running for a while. He said "no" and I then knew that something was wrong. When I confronted him about it he assured me that it was "the sun" that warmed the hood. This is all good except it rained all morning and was overcast. Am I crazy?
8I have to agree with Jazzy and notinthemood on this. If you are going to matrimonial websites looking for Mr. Right to marry and then add him to your Facebook, you need to reflect the same image there as well. You didn't know him long, so you need to move on - it sounds like no great loss.
9Lonewolf..... I am confused by your comment. You didn't comment at all about the post at hand. Are you trying to add your own post? If so, you need to click the "new post" button at the top of your page to tell your own story. I hope this helps.
10It doesn't sound as if you're ready to settle.
And just me personally here...I could never see myself as visiting one of those matrimonial website. And Facebook is not the place to find a properly sane husband either.
I consider Facebook as just a friendly way to have fun with your family, friends, and online friends. Not much more than that.

12When you are tagged on a picture, you can put off the tag. Also, now a new option is to forbid someone from seeing some albums you have put on your oage. Like old albums of your parties you put, let them but forbid him to see them.
13Ignore him. If he is truly interested, he'll get in touch with you. It's as simple as that.
