Does Chatting On The Forums Count (107)
annaroach: To get a good job, one has to go through not one but two
interviews, and the best man /woman gets the job.
I don't mean to be clinical about it but nobody wants second best.
Or to be considered second best

You must have come across people who are good at interviews but not in doing the job !
They have a "gift of the gab" and superficial just the same.
If there is a vacancy for the top job (for each party), I think a step by step "promotion" (with each step taken being in unison), until earning the title of a good friend, then an affectionate friend, may well be feasible under the circumstances. The rest is left to them and the stars.
And it should be because if we take the case of a lab animal...to study it...you cut in to it, to examine it, you dissect it in to pieces, take bits out of it and look at it under the microscope...you my get to the bottom of what made it tick...but your left with a whole heap of mess and something completely destroyed and its then no use to no one.
The same with a relationship if its studied in minute detail (if and when it happens).
I would say by the time you have to have to talk in detail about the relationship with your significant others - it is "over" or its the beginning of the end, or the end is in sight.
I believe things should come at an angle, not full on. Its said that relationships which start intensely, ends in the same way. Demotion is also not nice, when once you was the best.
I think most people here are date-able, as it is in real life.
Its easy to think the worst of people and dismiss things out of hand.
I tried to keep this post from becoming wordy, but I think you would afford me the pleasure to write to you on the very valid sentiments you rise.

ChesneyChrist: You do get to know people but with far less affection. There's no life we experience here together
Yes, what i was trying to find out was,,,, can we assume that if we are to meet someone
that what is being said on here by them is honest, and could we expect to see the same ,if we met .

You're a grown woman, acting like a victim does you no favours.

I see where you are coming from, and it makes good sense
I believe that it is a slow process of getting to know someone,
I like to give everyone a chance and not judge , or indeed go full on.
Thanks, for giving a different view, and i take it on board.
You are very engaging, and i like your style with words for explaining.
It is my pleasure to get a thought provoking reply.

KremaP: Absolutely right you are Tan...
I just can not understand why so many people literally live online but refuse to see it as a real part of their lives...

I've been saying the same thing for a decade or more, yet some people just don't get it.. If this isn't real, or part of your life, then what is it? A virtual reality, a video game, some alternate personality?
I'm me, regardless, and I'm the same on here as I am off of here. Ask someone who has actually met me, and there are quite a few, they'll tell you what they think, good or bad, because they're all real too. I'm not anything more than I portray myself to be, and I'm real.

My affection for a certain CS member is undiminished. I might not be the right girl for him but he is definitely in my heart and in my thoughts.

Online or otherwise, I find - Its not the softness of the person but the crudity of the crowd.

Some people are simply good with words and they can make a much more favourable impression in this type of communication than some other people, who are maybe a lot quieter or simply not so eloquent. I saw people getting seduced by words by people on forums and deeply disappointed once they met those people or spent some time with them.
Expect to be surprised - that's the safest way to approach these kinds of meetings.
On the other hand, we can never really know whether the facts the people gave us about themselves are true. Is this person really single or maybe married with children? That can be a real problem with someone who doesn't live in your town... One man has recently written something about that on one blog - that people should show each other an ID when meeting. Maybe it's not a bad idea...

annaroach: Towards getting to know someone , before agreeing a date with them
Or should a line be drawn under it ,,,,,, as people are most likely not to be the person that they portray If they run with the hare and chase with the hound, as in, change their attitude depending on who they are chatting / having banter with??
Your opinion is important ,feel free to give it !

I would guess that before agreeing to meet a poster from here, there would have not only been interaction in the forums/blogs but also via PM's.
Some posters have been no surprise, other have been (and not in a positive way).
Only thing to get to know someone is to meet in RL for a chat and take it from there.

It do to a lesser degree. True people sometimes turn out to be completely different in person because its easy to portray something your not when your online. My advice would be to keep your mind open and rational, and if something seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.

Does an ID card show your marital status and number of children?
We don't have ID cards here, so we have to trust our instinct. Which I'd trust more than ID cards anyway

Why i have to be half "convinced" if it is worth it???
If what they claimed or not claimed in preliminary contacts before,
namely, mails,tel. skype.it would come to the surface,
and then,if their expectations aren't coinside,
it is "Pleasure to know you"
or
arrange for the next meeting.
