Yes, I did hollandgirl, many months ago, and we caught up for 10 days a few weeks ago when I was overseas. There were no major surprises as there had been lots of communication over many weeks, hours of daily 'phone and emails, no cam though by choice.
Meeting in RL is vital, as you would know hollandgirl. So I urge all who do make a connection online, be totally honest with each other and there will be no surprises. But it will determine whether you choose to continue the relationship as a couple or not, because once the relationship becomes three dimensional, it will determine whether you truly go on to be a couple, or not. And it doesn't take very long to find that out.

I totally agree you must meet in order to find out if there really is a connection or chemmistry.

I thank you hollandgirl, but in this case, we are not a couple.

Well, sometimes it is more than a connection or chemistry.
The reality of having to live with each other's personalities day in and day out is what ultimately determines the outcome. Neither party is at fault. I just think it's best not to ignore red flags from the start.

sweetowen: I think it honestly depends on the ability of both parties to be able to still communicate with each other publicly. Some don't take things as well as others. It's the same in the real world. But even in the real world, for me, if things don't work out, I try to remain friends. Many factors play into the reason couples don't work out. It sometimes also depends on the maturity level of individuals. And some are just not good at handling rejection. This is JMO.
I share this view, as well.
As for the rest:
I do not regret Ali and I having announced our, then status, as a Couple. I also am the one that aske all of CS to be supportive of Ali and Help him through this, when I announced, to Cs a few weeks AFTER, I had asked Ali, Privately to let me let us go, due to my financial situation, and I waanted to be fair to Him. I do not regret having done so.
I did remind everyone in my post to his resulting thread,(Suggest me), under Travel in the Forums that we all have a different, rate for recovery as some of us need more time than others. I Still do not regret any of it.
I understand from others contacting me That Ali and Angelface123, another friend, have announced. I am Happy for both of them and I wish them the best.
I do understand all the support and viewpoints from the rest of you as well, from your emails to the things I have been told and the references to thread, that is locked and pulled. For all this, I thank all of you.
Would I do it again? Yes, I would. Not anytime soon though, I need time for me, right now.

So true. No one size fits all.
Hi Cj. Nice to see you.

hollandgirl: I don't mind telling that I have found someone again.
This time not through CS and not from any other dating site.
Another Dutchman.
Although I was not looking for a Dutchman I am happy we have the same background, it does make things easier I think.
I cooked a lot of Dutch meals that he had not eaten for years.
We have stayed at each other's place and are having fun.
Singing the old Dutch songs that we miraculously still remember.
He plays on a key board or piano.

In response to: I've not been on CS as much as I would like but when I have been able to get on I've noticed a few announcing their new found happiness at finding a new love. I've always found such people to be brave souls, especially navigating the often choppy waters of public opinion on CS. Its a crap shoot as to what the responses will be. And as I've seen the last few times I've been on, things can get rather nasty. I'm more of a private person so don't think there would be any sharing for me unless its privately with a few near and dear friends, but I understand that other would prefer to let others know publicly (including those who might be viewing them as a potential mate) that they are off the market. What do others think? To announce or not?
dont announce for a bit
