Dense-ity

UGH! OH! BUMMED! Got to...what?

I went away for the holidays and for 2 weeks, I did not check any of my online dating sites. It wasn't that it didn't cross my mind, because it did. Something just said, "don't go there." And it was nice. So very nice.

I told my girlfriend who has been through all of this with me, and she responded, "yes and you seem happier for it."

I even had a sense that I wasn't coming home to "anyone" online.

My life has filled up, is kind of filling up - and I've been happier even in the past 2 weeks than I have been in such a LONG time, why do I think I need to mess it up with a man?

So within a few days of being home, Angler contacted me. Even though he says he likes dry humor, he did miss a few of my dry comments. However for him to send me an email saying..."Sorry can't keep up....do learn how to fly fish though, you are surrounded by holy water ... a few to many other things goin on that (require) my full attention."

I'm not a dense person, though I can be.
It isn't as though I really know him, though I'd kind of like to.
He's in my vacinity, and I'm attracted to him.
He's in a good age range, he seems sensible and fun.

Does his email suggest, "I'm not into you"? or does it mean "Right now I am just too busy with things that I'm sorry I can't:
1) write often or
2) pursue this relationship"

What does his email really mean?

On one hand, he could have easily just walked away and not said a thing. I wouldn't have kept emailing him, though I suspect another woman might have.

Would his email matter if my life was filled with attractive, interesting men that were attracted to me?
