2intrigued: It's not totally about me but relationships in general and a common experience realized by many here... As for me, I give him the benefit of the doubt but sometimes the hook is dull
I would surmise that most that get cold feet, haven't done whatever internal dialogue they should of done before even opening a membership here or elsewhere?
And remember it is never about the other person when someone does a runner, or treats others with disrespect, so what is there to lose??
Just go for it for as long as we believe in the "P"s Positive, passionate, powerful, playful, pragmatic, patience, etc. all should go well
time4fun4u: I personnally think one should never look at it as a "date".This puts pressure on straight away.To me,it should just be meeting for a coffee,as you would a friend,and then relax,and if something happens in the future,fine.If not,then you have someone to have a coffee with,as and when.
I always go with *that* frame of mind.... meeting another human being for coffee. No expectations, no anticipations....
You bet I would, in a heart beat, as long as its in a public place. I love to meet people, I met people from on line and were still friends to this day. All meeting don't turn in to a physical relationship but I got friends out of it. You'll never know unless you give it a try. Just be causous about it and have a way out in the event it goes sour.
2intrigued: Considering a potential relationship with someone you've met online...you've chatted, you both seem to get along very well and it's time to discuss a possible meeting... Are you the type to get cold feet when the time comes to finally meet face to face? Sometimes WE are our own worst enemy in our relationships. Are we afraid of getting hurt again or disappointing other people or living beneath our ideal relationship standard? Maybe we’ve been out of a relationship for too long or have gotten too comfortable in our current lifestyle. Is it a distance issue or maybe even a game? There are probably hundreds of reasons.....what are your thoughts on why some people might sabotage their chances of ever meeting someone?
Being in Canada warm socks and good booths should help with the cold feet. But for real I get cold feet at times and clam up and other times I can't shut up.
kymbie67: You could be right...I'm adult enough to admit that I could have been wrong about the whole thing. BUT....when a man says he's in the Navy and wearing an Army uniform...gives his rank as one the Navy doesn't have...etc...I'm thinking he's a poser. I'm not so desperate that I want to be taken advantage of..been there, done that, have the trophy.
When that little voice is screaming at the top of her lungs, ya just gotta listen to her. Even if you really really don't want to.
So...it's back to the drawing board!
Ohhhhh, Honey! You absolutely did the right thing. Scammers have no concept of our military, especially in ranks! Be glad you got out of that one.

Maybe he was a singer in the Villag People and put on the wrong uniform.

well sometimes people have different time frames. I like to take at least 2-3 weeks to message and chat online or on the phone with some frequency before meeting - longer if it's long distance, but if we keep in touch I assume it means he eventually wants to meet
but I get a lot of men who want to meet up almost immediately ...so it doesn;t always work out schedule -wise
and then sometimes a stupid argument gets in the way - so I don;t get cold feet but I seldom do same day stuff on a first date or without a phone chat
or after a phone call u realize the chemistry prolly isn't there
