does this sound a bit off or have i got it wrong?

uumm, sweetie, that washing my hair is a women's thing. It's our saying and he cannot use that one. I mean really. Kidding. Okay, forget about him. What is more important, you or his hair? Think twice before you talk to him again. Sometimes i wonder how men think?

I would feel and think like you do. I am very good at details, so when people ignored it and think that we will be okay with their reply, I know that he/she does not worth it. What happened is maybe he was busy texting the others.

It can't possibly take anyone that long to wash their hair. I would think that he probably lied to you and so I would not talk to him again. I think that he is probably up to something and I would just forget him and just wait for someone else or be happy with being alone.

It is obvious that he was just telling you an alibi. You were right, that hair thing is a lame reason to not to call you after 50 mins. 50 mins and he hasn't called you yet. Wow! My boyfriend (hubby now) would text me every single minute or as long as his fingers are free. He'd call if he said he would even if he's in the cr or even if there's no power and he hasn't charge his phone battery. In short, he will find ways how to call me. But, your bf here, forget him. iF HE CAN NOT BE HONEST WITH YOU IN SIMPLE THINGS, EXPECT HIM TO LIE TO YOU OVER BIG THINGS, TOO.

Oh gosh after reading many of the responses and you discussion it got me to think for a moment. No he was not washing his hair, no way. See if it were you or I we would have wrapped our head in a towel and immediately picked up the phone and called to say I am almost done give me a few moments, seriously to text no way that takes longer. Give yourself sometime and do not allow this so early on to manipulate what you thought was there. I wish you well and deserve better, because my thought is why would he have text to say I am almost done. No I don't think so because it would have been quicker to finish up and call you as opposed to the several text with the supposed shampooing. You are not thinking too much, this actually good because you can put all the perspective in place and better now than another year wasted. Good luck to you and wishing you happiness and love in the future.

Well don't judge first. He maybe lying but he maybe not. First He maybe with a girl or a friend that is why he is making excuses. On the other hand, maybe he is really busy doing something that he didnt tell but still he wants to call you thats why he keeps making excuses. am i confusing? Sorry, not good in english. But for my personal opinion i think there is 70% chance that he is lying.. He is with a girl.:)

He might be telling the truth, i know a lots of weirdos that do take around 50mins in shower. But yah if you really like him and all dont just go on ditching him for this little hairwash thingy. try and be with him for a while and see if hen is lieing. i just think its very early to make judgements. Have a nice day.

Well, relationship started off from Internet needs to be taken slowly. You should not jump into things and get physical and stuff. As you are a girl, the one to be at a position end, is you. So you have to take it easy. Play hard to get and see how sincere is he and whether is he totally into you. Being the girl, you have to be in control of the relationship. You are being controlled by his availability. Reject him once or twice and see what happened. If he did not care, it means he doesn't. Maybe he just want to fling around and nothing more. Take it slowly and see how a man unfold or unravel himself. Cheers.

I'm an old married lady and things these days people do scare me and I am thankful I dont have to look for a mate these days!! But common sense is always a good place to start...first..NEVER give your home phone number out to anyone unless you have gotten to a closer relationship other than just texting. He already has your cell number for texting, so make him call you on that one. That way, if it doesn't work out, you can block his number from your cell, but at home..he can become a real annoyance with your home phone # and call you all the time just out of meanness. Second...yes you are right...that long just to wash hair? And text while he's doing it but can't talk? And with all that time of notice? Something is off for sure! Do yourself a favor and proceed lightly. I don't trust people much at first either...been burned to many times! So no trusting is not a "problem"...it is a safety precaution. You'd be stupid if you blindly trusted everyone you meet on online! You are smart. You instincts seem to be good...stay with that. Plus...hand it back to him...don't return his texts for a couple hours, then say..you had a friend come over and went shopping or something. First, see how he likes being ignored,( he can dish it out, but he can't take it!) and then you can also see if he is playing you. I for one hate texting as it is just so open for all kinds of hurtful things ...just like this. When you text it is shortened conversations, deleting words that are important, abbreviating and just so much is lost in a conversation done texting...that to much is lost and misunderstandings are the result. But now at least you know there is concern to not put to much into this relationship at the moment. If you choose to keep it up with him...just do it cautiously and and keep your shields up for things like this so you don't get taken advantage of. Since he has lied toyou now, (like you realize..."I'm washing my hair" excuse went out with the dinosaurs!). But hey, maybe use that one on him! Next time...turn the tables and see what happens! Whatever you do, do it cautiously and good luck!

oh my bad sign. I am also very detailed when it comes to things like that, if he says he will call in ten minutes i would really be waiting in 10 mins and if that call didn't come after ten minutes then he is lying.Because if you say it you must mean it right? so he must be lying but i am also someone who will not have peace of mind unless i ask him the reason but since it is also embarrassing to ask him straight forward..

Hello ren, I will also have some doubt with the time he washed his hair and asks you to wait. Besides,how can he texted you right away when he is washing his hair. And why he needs to tell you that he's going to call you after washing his hair ...and..50 minutes to wash hair? Ok,i am not adding more doubt into your mind,but it really sounds like something wrong. Just keep observing him then you will know.

Hi, I don't trust a person easily and that is why It takes time for me to trust a person especially when come to boyfriend. I don;t simply take all those sweet words as real although I love listening to those sweet words,but I am telling myself to be extra aware when handling a man. They can set a trap anytime and I must not fall into a trap. It is up to your choice whether you want to trust this man or not. There is a possibility that he is lying to you. Since you guys have not known each other so well...just spend more time and get to know each other better.

As a guy, it would never occur to me to use that line. If I was just trying to line you up, and just trying to say anything you like, that would make you like me more, I would have been more creative with my lie. I suggest not communicating to him anymore. If he is really sincere, he would make it up to you. If not, he'll just move on. And then you'd know the kind of person that he is.

This is frustrating thing to go trough,If it was me,I would stop communicating with this person, Not trustworthy.May be he is playing hard to get,or likes to be chased, but he is not even a good liar.When you meet somebody and you are interested for real,you try to make a good impression, and establish a good base for a relationship.This is not how you do it! I am sure that there are real nice guys out there for you,and you will meet them eventually.Do not waste your time with this person.Either his hair is very dirty ...LOL, or he lied.

Well I couldn't blame you for thinking like that. I too might look at it as lying. But for the benefit of the doubt, you can just continue texting or seeing him, but don't trust him so much. He might not be totally big time lying, but is telling some truth as an alibi because he's not so into you. Good thing you are on guard. So, just don't expect much, that case it wouldn't hurt that much, just in case what your thinking is true.

the washing my hair thing i guess is an alibi which is not well thought of. either he is underestimating your intellect or he is just making it obvious or he is just plain too dumb to think that it is way too obvious (that he is lying). did he text you again afterwards?
