Scary who you can meet here isn't it. Just go with the flow and keep it where you want it. It's obvious he is interested in you and not what your social / economic status is. He has not totally explained who/what he is because he is being hit up by the gold diggers who are only interested in his "cash crop". Hopefully he is not playing you for the bedroom game as you have both evolved slowly to become friends. If you like him for who he is as a person then the rest can be resolved later on. Let him tell you the details and hopefully it will work out for you.

Now don't give me the usual "it doesnt matter who you are" and blah blah blah. I want some serious feedback, opinions and feelings here. Have you ever felt lke this??


I have been chatting with a guy online for awhile off and on. We have taken it very slowly and have become good friends. Very recently I have noticed he has started adding "babe" and "sweetheart" into the mix and has been talking about things on a more personal level. Even though he lives pretty far away, he asked me out to dinner next month. I said sure. Heres the problem....


He is a very busy man. He said he was in the medical software business. I thought he worked for the company and din't think anything of it. The other day I called the number he gave me llong ago. (I was seeing somebody so hadn't planned on using it.) He wasn't there but a company name was said on the machine. I looked the company up and discovered it's a HUGE company with offices all over the world. I was impressed that he worked for what seemed like a great place.....until I saw a mission statement. At the bottom was HIS NAME and "PRESIDENT/CEO". He freaking owns it. I am a waitress. I am smart but have a limited education. I instantly felt inferior and am honestly afraid of disapointing this guy now. Have you ever felt this way?

In his defense...he never denied owning it. I just didnt take it that way and he knows exactly what I do. He hasn;t done or said anything to make me feel this way. It's all in my head......in fact he just invited me to the Ozarks.

I have felt that way quite a few times. The last time was when I was offered a job as a Case Manager. The first time I refused it due to my lack of education. I really did not think I could pull it off working with Social Service, the Courts, Mental Health and etc. But the Director would not give up. She informed me that she had hired people over the years with the best education and resume's and it did not work out due to there lack of knowledge and compassion. I took the chance and jumped right in. I loved it and stayed for 3 years till my mom got sick. It was a learning experience for me. I realized while working with the best of them, that it's about how you carry yourself and that we are all the same...
Go for it!!!

I have dated guys who were truckers, self-employed business owners, a Public Works employee (whose family were millionaires) and one was a designer of propulsion for nuclear submarines. You know which ones were most special? The ones who cared for me. I started out as a secretary/new accounts clerk at a bank and worked my way up to branch manager and Loan Officer. When I got my title of Assistant Treasurer, I was thrilled and so was my husband and he bought me a briefcase I still have today. Education is irrelevant unless one acts uneducated. Street smarts count for a lot. Common sense, honesty, morals and integrity count for everything--education can only go so far. Go for it! I wish you the best and just remember, we all know you and love you --he can't help but do the same.

Thank you southern. This is more what I meant. I wasn't really talking about his money. Money doesn't make a man and besides he may be in debt to his ears. I am more wary over how smart he is. He is a brainiac and without meaning to, talks about things I have no clue about. I can get around it on the internet because I go over what he says closely then just comment on what I understand. I am worried that I won't hold up so well face-to-face. It's not because I am stupid. He was also an archeologist (sp) in earlier years and has studied things I've never been interested in. We talked for 3 hours last night on cam about nothing. (He has never tried to get sexual or ask sexual questions at all.) Towards the end he had a very thoughtful look. I asked what he was thinking about. His response.....kissing you. He left it at that and so did I......No question now. I think he might like me a little. LOL

(I just hope he doesn't read this thread)

I can imagine how you must be feeling. Most importantly, I suppose, is for you to consider how comfortable you are with the situation. He seems to have no problem with it, so why should you?

Come one, a little bit of self confidence, girl


Good luck

I just saw this comment. He isn't a member HERE!!!! I am a little smarter than that!!!!!

You said that you talked via web cam. Are you attracted to him? Since he wants to kiss you, obviously he is attracted to you.

He is a very physically attractive man but we became friends without the help of web cam. His personality makes him even more appealing. The odd thing is there were no "fireworks" or "butterflies" from the beginning.
