A guy on a dating site that keeps emailing you without asking you out on a date isn’t serious about meeting you.

No matter how good the email conversations have been, you are wasting your time if this guy has been talking to you for multiple weeks and hasn’t asked you to meet in person.

This is never a good sign.

People sign up on dating sites to find a potential partner.

When you become email friends with a guy on a dating site, he doesn’t see you as a potential partner.

There are a number of roles a girl like this fulfills in his life.

For one, you kill his boredom as he is living his day to day life.

When he is bored at work, he emails you for entertainment to kill his boredom.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that all of this emailing on an online dating site is a sign that he likes you and that he is asking you out imminently.

In truth, he doesn’t like you like that, and he has no interest in asking you out.

He is using you to kill his boredom in these moments in his day to day life.

Secondly, you play the role of attention-giver.

As an attention-giver, you boost his ego.

He knows that you like him.

Therefore, receiving replies from you to his email messages gives him an elevated boost to his self-esteem.

Not being used to receiving this much attention in his day to day life, he eats it up and takes advantage of it.

This is a boon for him and a waste of time for you.

You aren’t on a dating site for an email friend.

You are on it to find a potential partner.

Thirdly, you are a surrogate filler.

Other girls on the dating site have precedence over you.

These are the girls he wants to match and connect with the most.

While he waits to see whether these prettier girls swipe right on his profile to match with him, or reply to his messages, he conducts email conversations with you.

You are playing the role of surrogate filler on a matchmaking dating site.

A surrogate filler that he uses to keep his spirits up as he waits on these prettier girls.

These are the girls he intends to meet as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Indeed, he has no intention of being email friends with the girls he prioritizes.

Until he matches and connects with these girls, he uses you to keep his spirits up.

Furthermore, you play a dual role in that of a rebound.

If he fails in matching and connecting with the prettier girls that he deems to be more desirable than you, it’s probable that he finally asks you out on a date.

That said, this isn’t cause for jubilation.

When a guy asks you out on a date based on these circumstances, he isn’t genuinely interested in you.

He is using you to make up for the fact that the girls he preferred weren’t interested in him.

A guy that does this is intent on having a one night stand with you by the end of the date, and has no intention in dating you seriously.
