Just wondering what people think. I dont like communicating through email. I get very lazy and stop replying to emails and then it would seem im not interested. I prefer to meet up with someone very quickly after i start to talk to them to see if there is a connection. I dont believe there can be a connection until u meet someone face to face. I think u could be talking to someone through email for a week or else 6 months and it doesnt make a difference. To be honest i couldnt be bothered to keep on emailing. Maybe that is stopping me meeting someone great but its just how i am. Just wondering would that be a turn off for men if a woman looked to meet them quickly? And sure while im at it does anyone want to start talking to me tomorrow, then take me out this weekend?rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Hi flick, I had a look at your profile. You have an amazing attitude and spirit.

I agree, someotimes you can put so much energy into emailing, so much time can go by, it's so much easier to meet. Of-course, that would apply more to meeting a local, but equally important for any LDR's.

All the best to you. I'm sure you can teach us all a thing or two.

I think that it is true that you can mail and mail someone but not get to the "real" person until you have met them in real life. Maybe moving on to chatting on the phone before meeting can help. At least you know if they can hold a conversation. I think there is an advantage in meeting up quickly in that you are not using up your time mailing someone that in real life you would never get on with. However, mailing someone for a length of time can also develop a connection that might at least end up as a friendship. Like everything else, it depends on the person. There are no definitive rules we can follow. We gotta do what suits us.

I completely agree.
I'm a bit pushy in regards to meeting people, if I have the time or the means then I'm like "Lets do it."
Not literally do it but I think people can be so different online personality wise, more confident or whatever cause it's not face to face, hence why I think it's so important to meet quickly, so you know what's what.
Good woman Flick!

I have the opposite problem. I get on great by email but once they come to visit, that seems to be the end of it. I wonder if it's anything to do with the collection of stuffed fluffy kittens I keep in the cellar and the small cemetary I keep for ex girlfriends in ther back garden. devil

True I would never be able to keep up e mails although talking to someone on the phone helps a lot cos you can find out lots about each other that way but a face to face meeting asap is best ...William

I don't think a week is that long but six months would be. I do think though that you need to get to know someone for a while online first because they could be a complete psycho in person and you would probably miss the warning signs if you are only talking for a short time. Having said that, I would have gotten impatient if it dragged on forever.

I agree that meeting has to be done relatively quickly. When you say "very quickly" - how fast do you mean? I always found it best to exchange mails for a day or two, then text for another day or two, then have a phone conversation, and then meet. Flick, I'd start talking to you today. Then take you out tonight :-)

iv to agree too an extent,that meeting up sooner rather than emailing for weeks or months,you can never truely get to know someone through email,
saying that i wouldnt be so quick to go it alone again,as you can never trust anyone...people can be desiving and face to face contact is one sure way of getting to know someone...

I think meeting up after an IM chat or a few mails is ok, but if the very first mail is ......Hi wanna met up, I think its a bit of a waste of time, you need to get some sort of vibe from a few mails, an IM convo or a profile.

im the same...i chat away for a week or 2 on email but then want to meet...the only proviso in meeting tho is that i prefer to meet in my home town, cos im safe here and i know a lot of ppl, if it was a case of where he wanted to go out for the night then cos it's my town etc i do offer to pay half his bnb cos i do think thats only fair some take me up on it and some dont, but regardless of that i always go home to my own bed on me ownio angel
