Serenity4two: absolutely SDB it is only fair to give the person a chance it sure would be a shame to miss out on someone really special , just because you didn't make the time to meet up and chat face to face
MADDOG69: NO and no. It works both ways. And this sort of ties into what I wrote on the other thread about the date suggestion. If it's some activity, you may not pick up how the date is going... as in really going. Sitting face to face over an auld brew gives one the opportunity to know the date is not going so well or if it's going great. Asking before half time once the body language has said it all. It's more of a "we're never going to work out, are we?". Surprisingly, the pressure is off, and the second half of the cup goes down very relaxing then. Most of the time... lol

How do you handle it if the other person seems interested but you're not?
Green_Sleeves: I was just thinking, I've had a few where like I assumed everything was grand and we got on well and at the end it was like 'really nice to meet you, I had a nice day, talk to you later'
There's a contradiction there, though. Which is it? Think about it. Did it really go grand? Or was the other so deceptively disingenuous that you wouldn't notice it.
Anyways you should know if she's smiling like a Cheshire cat from start to finish.

Like I said I have twice said what I felt and half of that went well. And for the record I have never run screeching.
Personally, I'd like to know as soon as he knows and if what I feel is the same as his then all is well either way.

good point about the " smiling " bit MD
also another good indicator is good eye contact
and if touch is involved too ,, and before you loose the run of yourself lol , i mean touch of the hand --then that's great too
MADDOG69: "we're never going to work out, are we?"
Same.
Just want to check, has it ever gone over their head or been misread?
Just I tried something like that once, though your words are perhaps obviously clearer lol as he actually misread and just affirmed he was interested, kinda got awkward for me then

Well, there's being honest and transparent and meaning well at the same time. As long as people understand the others right to preferences.... What happened ya anyway?
got grabbing her by the throat and saying 'BUT I AM SENSITIVE AND KIND THAT'S WHAT YOUR PROFILE SAID YOU WERE LOOKING FOR!!!!'

Maybe he was carried away by your accent and didn't really understand WTF you were saying anyways.
As for the question, Nah. I don't generally have a problem with communicating face to face. lol
salanky: i know what you mean and generally dont approach any first meeting with a view to getting a relationship out of it. i would much rather be friends and get to know eachother and see what comes of it than expect it to develop into a relationship immediately.
That'd be my point of view too.
But hey, look, I've done it too, if I wasnt particularly interested in someone or felt I wouldnt like to meet again, ashamedly I've sorta' cooled off and been distant rather than just say 'sorry, but I dont want to meet again'. Its easy to type, but I wouldnt know how to get it out properly
The last lady I met up with I thought all went well, we had a nice 'meet' and she was like 'I'll chat to you soon ' an' all, but, after that she wasnt interested, took her a week to reply to a message and was vauge at best; no interest!
